Antibacterial even without disinfection with a special coating

Stainless steel naturally offers little chance of microbial colonization. But that's enough in the Health sector or at vending machines and counters in public spaces. Here effectively protects the antimicrobial coating from Sedlbauer. The special lacquer guarantees optically brilliant surfaces antibacterial, long-term resistant and gives germs no chance to settle.

The actual risk of getting over a contaminated surface by pathogenic germs like Fungi, bacteria, yeast or with virus infecting is comparatively low for healthy people. The perceived risk of infection increases significantly as soon as many people unprotected and with high activity, for example, use the same number field on an input keyboard on a machine.

Antibacterial in the form of varnish

This can be remedied by an additional protective layer microbes makes it practically impossible to adhere, develop, and thus cause disease in users. Microbes are a term used in microbiology. The most common representatives of the microbes are viruses, bacteria and fungi. The germs die and chains of infection are broken.

How to make a protective mask in your own production

The antibacterial coating will like a protective varnish applied. Optical designs are possible, for example, as smooth varnish, effect varnish or varnish with structured effects. The homogeneous coating is extremely thin, less than 60 µm. Long-term resistance to acids, alkalis, scratching or wiping, the antimicrobial paints also withstand permanent cleaning and disinfection.

No chance for damaged biofilms

As if the risk of infection were not bad enough, the microbial colonization of surfaces can also lead to odor and color changes or even damage to displays. The antibacterial coating suppresses the development of these unpleasant ones Biofilms of bacteria and Co.

Sedlbauer developed the antibacterial paint together with a partner and optimized it for processing in wet painting. He reduces the number of germs on the surface by up to 99,9999% (log 5,9%). The tests are carried out in accordance with JIS Z 2801 (JIS: Japanese Industrial Standard - Japanese industrial standard, comparable to DIN). This standard has been standardized worldwide as ISO 2007 since 22196.
