Description:
QMT developed an antimicrobial technology that can be integrated into coatings and also directly into products. The coatings were tested for efficacy against bacterial and non-bacterial pathogens as well as for efficacy vs. exposure times, and implementation into various products. Commercialization into consumer and other products is ongoing.
Summary/Accomplishments (Outputs/Outcomes):
During the full project we continued to develop the Stay Fresh antimicrobial technology into various sectors. The peroxide based treatment is highly effective against bacteria relevant to public health and hygiene, and effective against non-bacterial organisms of interest as well. We have determined that the kinetics achievable for pathogen kill are highly dependent on coatings formulation and implementation, and have developed numerous ways of applying commercially viable treatments onto goods.
Conclusions:
QMT was able to successfully develop and begin commercialization on the antimicrobial coatings.
