Leading, Innovative Anti-Microbial Coating
The Problem
The presence of microbial contamination of surfaces poses a serious problem from the point of view of health protection. There is a growing market demand to improve effectivity, safety, endurance, and cost of anti-microbial coating.
The Solution
We propose a novel bio-inspired nanocapsule that can firmly attach to any surface and kill encapsulated bacteria.
The Commercial Benefit
Our leading, innovative anti-microbial coating reduces costs and has better performance compared to current microbial coatings. This coating excels in its binding to the surface and in its slow and controlled release of the bacteria killer. The coating is environmentally friendly and is less expensive to manufacture than present materials.
Market Potential
Antimicrobial Coatings Market is projected to reach USD 4.19 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 12.1% from 2016 to 2021. Medical is the biggest end-use application of antimicrobial coatings.
Antimicrobial coatings are widely used in the medical and healthcare industry. Antimicrobial coatings are mostly used for applications such as, catheters, medical devices, medical electronics, and trays among others.
