Helping to prevent the spread of infectious disease

Choose a decorative Hauzer coating with antibacterial properties to distinguish your product in the market – great for hospitals, schools and crowded places

Antibacterial coatings

What if you could choose a coating that is more than only decorative?

Hauzer has developed coatings in a wide variety of colours that have been confirmed to kill bacteria that commonly cause disease. Offering those coatings on door handles and sanitary hardware for hospital buildings, airports, schools and other crowded environments can help your products stand out in the market. Hauzer is looking for partners for antibacterial development projects: developing an antibacterial coating in the exact colour you need.

Applications

Antibacterial properties are most important for high-touch products. For instance, door handles and faucets in busy areas, where building management may be interested in contributing to health on a population level. However, an antibacterial coating could also add value to high-touch personal objects such as eyewear and phone cases, with an emphasis on personal protection.

Strong antibacterial effect in enhanced coatings

Anywhere crowds of people gather, touch-based contamination contributes to the spread of bacterial infections. Coatings with antibacterial effect could have an important public health benefit: think of door handles, bathroom taps and other high-touch elements in schools, hospitals, airports and even homes.

Antibacterial properties for decorative coatings

Hauzer has been working on adding antibacterial properties to a range of decorative coatings based on titanium, zirconium and diamond-like carbon. The results of a recent test show that these modified coatings do indeed display antibacterial properties, while retaining the characteristics of the original coatings.
