Overview of innovation

The antimicrobial solution consists of a novel polymer featuring quaternary ammonium groups that provide consistent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. When applied to various substrates, such as textiles and construction materials, the polymer bonds covalently, creating a stable, long-lasting, non-leaching protective layer. The technology is also compatible with scalable industrial processes, enabling high-throughput application in diverse manufacturing sectors, including healthcare, apparel, and construction.
