OUR TECHNOLOGY
Material science, built into the finish.
Protectano explores silver and zinc oxide additives within powder-coating systems designed for professional metal applications.
An integrated coating approach.
The antimicrobial additives are incorporated into the coating formulation. The aim is to help inhibit microbial growth on the coated surface while meeting the finish and application requirements of the selected use case.
Performance depends on formulation, substrate, preparation, curing and service conditions. A pilot provides a practical way to evaluate fit before a broader rollout.
Two materials. One development platform.
Silver (Ag)
Silver-based additives form part of Protectano’s approach to antimicrobial surface protection. Formulation and dispersion are evaluated within the cured coating system.
Zinc oxide (ZnO)
Zinc oxide is explored alongside silver as part of the material system. Suitability and performance are evaluated for the intended coating and application conditions.
Material descriptions explain the development approach; they are not a guarantee of performance in every environment.
How the coating is applied.
1. Prepare
Clean and pretreat the metal substrate using the agreed process.
2. Apply
Use a suitable electrostatic powder-coating process.
3. Cure
Follow the formulation-specific time and metal-temperature requirements.
4. Evaluate
Review appearance, finish quality, process fit and agreed pilot measurements.
Application parameters should come from the technical guidance supplied for your pilot formulation. Existing cleaning and maintenance procedures continue.
Evidence that supports a decision.
Ask our team for the test information available for your proposed application. We can discuss the tested formulation, organisms, method, exposure time and conditions, together with the limits of the results.
Laboratory results describe the tested samples under specified conditions. They do not establish infection prevention, sterilization or equivalent performance in all real-world environments.
