Flint Group is developing Biomaster, an active antimicrobial coating suitable for application on most substrates and via all major printing methods.
Proven in hospital real-time studies and supported by full independent laboratory data, the new technology works through release of silver ions on demand which, in turn, safely inhibit bacteria growth. The inorganic nature, small particle size and high temperature tolerance of the product is said to make it ideal for use in the production of antibacterial coatings.
According to Flint, Biomaster products contain typically 10 times more silver than any other silver biocides on the market, so they only need to be used at very low concentrations. With a minimal loading level required, the on-cost is not significant but the results are impressive – reducing bacteria levels by 99.99%, the company states.
