Imagine a permanent invisible shield on your phone, door handle, or clothes that kills germs and viruses on contact. Most current coatings wear off quickly or use harsh chemicals that hurt the planet. This work creates a long-lasting, eco-friendly version that keeps surfaces clean without needing constant reapplications.
Current antimicrobial coatings are either not durable enough for high-traffic use or cause environmental hazards due to their chemical formulations.
Sustainable antiviral and antimicrobial nanocoatings for plastics, metals, and textiles. These were validated in final consumer products like bathroom fixtures and home appliances.
If you are a home appliance manufacturer dealing with hygiene concerns on touch-panels — this project developed sustainable nanocoatings that provide long-term antiviral protection. This reduces the risk of virus transmission on high-traffic plastic and metal surfaces.
If you are a textile company dealing with the need for medical-grade hygiene in fabrics — this project developed bio-based antimicrobial coatings. These coatings are designed for high durability, ensuring the fabric remains protective after repeated use.
If you are a bathroom manufacturer dealing with the spread of infectious diseases in public toilets — this project developed durable antiviral coatings for ceramic and metal. This helps mitigate the 80% of infectious diseases transmitted via contaminated surfaces.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost-per-unit information is not provided.
Yes, the project specifically targets scalable, high-performance coatings and includes industrial partners like TECNAN and CELABOR to ensure the value chain is covered.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not disclosed, though the project involves 8 industrial partners who are part of the value chain.
The project includes a dedicated partner, INTER IT, to handle BPR (Biocidal Products Regulation) assessment and toxicity assessment to ensure safety.
The project period runs until 2025-11-30, suggesting that final validation and market readiness occur toward the end of this window.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercialization, with a 57% industry ratio consisting of 8 companies and 6 research entities. The presence of diverse end-users—ranging from bathroom manufacturers (ECZACIBASI) and home appliance giants (PANASONIC) to textile firms (ALMAXTEX)—indicates a strong focus on market validation across three distinct sectors.
