Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) techniques can be utilized to deposit antibacterial coatings on various substrates.
Medical Devices: PVD antibacterial coatings are commonly used on medical devices and equipment to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections.
Touch Surfaces: Coating touch surfaces in public spaces, such as door handles, elevator buttons, and handrails,with antibacterial layers can help maintain hygiene and reduce the spread of pathogens.
Food Packaging: Antibacterial coatings on food packaging can help prolong the shelf life of food products by inhibiting bacterial growth.
Public Transport: Coating surfaces in public transport vehicles with antibacterial layers can help create a more hygienic environment for passengers.
By utilizing PVD techniques to deposit antibacterial coatings, surfaces can be made resistant to bacterial contamination,contributing to improved hygiene and safety in various applications.
Are antibacterial surfaces a technological breakthrough?
A study conducted by the Battelle organization forecasts that antibacterial surfaces and germ-resistant coatings will be an important technological breakthrough in household products. Homeowners are looking for new cleansers that provide lasting protection on kitchen and bathroom surfaces.
The demand for antibacterial coatings on frequently used surfaces has long existance. With the rising of public health and domestic hygiene awareness, decorative coatings on SS and ceramic products, such as taps, door handles, hand rails, tiles, faucets, bathroom fittings with antibacterial properties may attract more attention from consumers than ever.
“After a half year of research and development, the test results eventually turned out excellent,” said Zhou Xin, the marketing director, “adding only several minutes based on traditional PVD decorative coatings, the products will be able to kill 99.99% of E. coli and S. aureus bacteria after 24 hours without affecting other important properties.”
