Inorganic Anti-Microbial Material for Water-based Coatings: IONPURE

Glass is generally considered as a material with high chemical inertness due to its strong network structure. However, it is possible to lower this chemical inertness by continuously altering its structure, especially in water. On the other hand, glass has another interesting property, which retains metal as ions. Combination of this property and the above technology has enabled to create glass with low chemical inertness, … Continue reading Inorganic Anti-Microbial Material for Water-based Coatings: IONPURE
