Hygienic surfaces 

Atimbe enables customers to establish superior surfaces that are also effectively hygienically clean without restricting their primary characteristics and functionality. In this way, you can benefit from the high quality you are accustomed to coupled with simple handling of our two-pack PUR paint systems, even in waterborne hydro paints, in numerous tints, degrees of gloss and texture variations. Whether it is smooth surface finishes, pearlescent or grainy textures you are looking for, we will not restrict your imagination.

And when it comes to the choice of the material to be coated, there are also many options available:

• Ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces
• Numerous plastics
• Glass and china

In many environments, germ-free working conditions are essential and even prescribed by legislation:

• Human medicine
• Veterinary medicine
• Food-processing technology
• Sanitary installations

But it is not only here that we find large accumulations of germs, take a number of everyday objects, for example:

• Hole-in-the-wall cash dispensers
• Smartphones
• Kitchen appliances
• Door handles

Here is a selection of the many diverse capabilities of Atimbe:

• Reduction in germs by > 99.9999 % (log 5.9 for Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus aureus)
• Nano silver and free silver ions are not used as they give rise to physiological concern
• Application of a glass matrix to control the release of free silver ions to a concentration that is physiologically harmless also extends the effectiveness up to ten years

The mechanism of action (MoA)

The silver ions released by the glass matrix in a controlled diffusion manner interact with the cell walls and the intracellular biomolecules of the germs and cause the cells to die off.

• The system enables easy technical handling and application: the grained texture options (single-layer) or pearlescent texture (two-layer application) give the product an eye-catching visual appearance that is also functional
• Available in many different variants: e.g. numerous grades of gloss from half-matt and semi-gloss to high-gloss. For you, our customers, this means the storage of parent lacquers, a complex logistical feat, is no longer required.
• Low abrasion propensity
• Great variety of colours (all tints, e. g. RAL, NCS, customer sample etc.)
• High solids content
• Excellent surface coverage and rapid layer build-up
• Low environmental pollution due to low solvent content
• Parent lacquer not subject to special marking regulations in accordance with German Ordinance on Hazardous Substances
• Noticeable cost savings since grinding and filler operations on the substrate are not required
