Antimicrobial Coatings for Appliances: Invisible Protection 24/7

Antimicrobial Coatings for Appliances

High touch surfaces like kitchen appliances can be a breeding ground for harmful microbes and bacteria. Antimicrobial coatings incorporated into high-touch surface coatings and appliance surface coatings can help to prevent the buildup of microbes with invisible protection 24/7 that does not wash off. Antimicrobial coatings combined with manual cleaning processes can help to protect people against the spread of harmful diseases.

Residential Kitchens and Food-Associated Bacteria

According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, bacteria quickly colonize on various kitchen surfaces, and the exchange of microbes between the kitchen environment and humans can negatively impact human health. Microbes, like bacteria found on kitchen surfaces, can transfer harmful germs to people and also create a foul odor. A diverse bacterial community is widely distributed in residential kitchens, and food and human-associated bacteria can be transferred easily from surfaces to humans.

Types of Antimicrobial Coatings for Surface Protection

Antimicrobial coatings contain an active ingredient that makes the surface coating effective against the buildup of bacteria, mold, and fungal growth. Antimicrobial coatings provide surface protection for many industrial and commercial settings and products and protect the surface with enhanced durability and resistance to smudges, fingerprints, oxidation, and rust. Antimicrobial coating technology can also be added to paints, lacquers, and surface coatings in a variety of environments to protect building materials, furniture, and appliances against microbial growth.

Antimicrobial coatings are often selected to provide these benefits in spaces that are prone to moisture, such as appliances, building materials, drywall, and furniture in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Once mold and mildew begin to proliferate on a surface, it can quickly spread and erode product surfaces and material. Antimicrobial coatings utilized in these environments help to prevent the buildup of harmful microbes as well as prevent the growth of mold and mildew and provide protection against product degradation.
