Permanent Coatings

Long-term antimicrobial activity can be imparted in many coating formulations through the incorporation of nanomaterials. The desire for permanent coatings to impart long-term antimicrobial or bacteria-stat properties to coated products has been expressed in a variety of industries, including healthcare, industrial and institutional cleaning, food processing, food service, and general paints and coatings. NanoTek^® zinc oxide, copper oxide or doped zinc oxides can be fully dispersed into a wide variety of coating formulations, including urethanes, acrylics and vinyl acetates and have shown utility in UV curable and thermosetting coatings as well as in water-based coating systems.
