Testing of antibacterial materials and coatings
Antibacterial materials and coatings are increasingly used in the medical, food and veterinary industries. Incorporating a factor that limits the growth of microorganisms into a material, paint or other coating allows it to maintain its properties, structure or appearance. It protects coated surfaces against the adverse effects of microorganisms or minimizes the risk of spreading infections.
We offer tests for antibacterial and antifungal properties:
- paints, varnishes, plasters, primers
- silicone, nitrile and other coatings
- membranes
- polyethylene, polyamide, polymers
- glass, ceramic and metal surfaces
We perform tests according to European standards. Depending on the target market for the product, we can also perform tests based on Japanese or American standards.
