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