Surfprotect Phase Three Successfully Completed
The Surfprotect project has successfully completed the third stage of developing innovative surface treatments designed to reduce the risk of infection transmission. This phase focused on optimizing the antimicrobial coating, verifying its long-term stability, and confirming its effectiveness under conditions close to real-world operation.
During the third stage, the formulation of the antimicrobial layer was successfully enhanced to ensure compatibility with various types of substrates, including stainless steel, wood, and textiles. The development also included high-tech touch glass with an integrated antimicrobial layer, designed for devices subject to frequent user contact.
Throughout this phase, the technology was tested for resistance to wear, cleaning agents, and mechanical stress typical of high-touch surfaces. The effectiveness of both the antimicrobial coating and the treated touch glass was verified across different substrate types. Testing was conducted under laboratory conditions, allowing for a thorough assessment of the antimicrobial layers’ performance under repeated cleaning and mechanical stress. The results clearly demonstrated that the surface treatment actively reduces the risk of infection transmission while maintaining its protective function throughout the product’s lifespan.
With the successful completion of the third stage, Surfprotect is now ready to test its technology in real-world public environments, which will further validate the effectiveness of the antimicrobial coating in everyday use. At the same time, the project is prepared for gradual market deployment, offering an innovative solution to enhance hygiene standards and reduce health risks in high-contact environments.
