Antimicrobial Coating

The company has been granted a patent for its permanent antimicrobial coating technology, Surfacine, developed for use on medical devices as well as other surfaces where extended antimicrobial protection is desired. This medical-grade coating is factory applied to provide superior, broad-spectrum protection from gram negative and gram positive bacteria, yeast and mold for the effective life of the product.

The coating is also available in a dispensable form that can be incorporated into numerous consumer, healthcare, institutional and industrial products. In addition to killing a broad range of microorganisms upon contact, it continues to disinfect and kill microorganisms for sustained periods of time without elution of its active components into contacting liquids. The product can be safely applied to both skin and surfaces and works by laying down a transparent, yet highly active antimicrobial shield on surfaces to which it is applied. Additionally, it is non-toxic, proven safe for humans and does not release any harmful compounds into the environment.
