Why Use Antimicrobial Powder Coatings?
Posted by Megan Klinge on Tue, Jul 26, 2011 @ 08:44 AM
KECO offers a line of antimicrobial powder coatings. We are excited to offer this to our new and existing customers, and see several benefits to this technology. We see that this type of finishing has a place in several industries such as public transit, hospital rooms, doctor offices, food processing, restaurants, parks & playgrounds, pharmaceutical, school systems, and any other areas bacteria can become a major issue.
There are several features and benefits for antimicrobial powder coatings. They are available in several different colors and textures. They are ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications because they come in most of the technologies you can get a typical powder coating in (epoxy, hybrid, TGIC polyester, polyester etc.)
How do antimicrobial powder coatings work? The manufacturing company of the powder is using an environmentally sustainable silver Ion to inhibit the growth and transmission of harmful microbes on powder coated surfaces. The silver ions interfere with the cell membranes when the bacteria tries to grow by inhibiting respiration and ultimately growth.
We are excited to have this technology to offer and would be happy to answer any questions www.kecocoatings.com
