Antiviral antibacterial coating, hereafter referred to as antibacterial coating, is a method of applying special materials to object surfaces to inhibit the growth of viruses and bacteria. The mechanism of antibacterial action varies among products.
Unlike sterilization or disinfection, which temporarily eliminate or remove microbes, coating surfaces with antibacterial materials prevents the growth of viruses and bacteria on these surfaces.
The primary method of application is spraying the material using a spray gun. It is essential to thoroughly clean the surface before treatment to ensure optimal adhesion of the coating.
In budget-restricted scenarios, application may be limited to high-contact areas such as handrails or doorknobs.
Common Applications
Buildings frequented by people, like offices, commercial buildings, hotels, restaurants, cinemas, stadiums, schools, medical and welfare facilities, residential homes, and public transport vehicles like trains and buses, often receive antibacterial coating treatments.
The materials used in antibacterial coatings vary, with titanium dioxide and silver being popular choices.
Titanium dioxide, a widely used photocatalyst in antibacterial coatings, generates reactive oxygen species under light exposure, breaking down viruses and bacteria into harmless substances. Although ultraviolet light typically activates photocatalysts, modern advancements have led to visible light-responsive variants suitable for indoor use.
Silver ions (Ag+) are known for their antiviral, antibacterial, deodorizing, and mold-resistant properties. They are commonly used in deodorants and are safe for use in various products, including dishes. Since titanium dioxide's effectiveness depends on light, silver is often used to augment its effects, as it does not require light exposure.
The application of antibacterial coating offers several benefits:
Antibacterial coatings are tested for human safety through various measures, including acute oral toxicity, skin irritation, and mutagenicity tests.
Products with the SIAA certification mark have passed these tests, aligning with the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry's guidelines, ensuring their safety.
