The term antimicrobial is used here to describe the inhibitory effects of a coating on bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Materia Nova supports you in the development of anti-microbial solutions from the choice of the anti- microbial agent, its implementation, its integration into a material or coating and the validation of its anti-microbial properties.

Our strengths

  • A multidisciplinary approach combining expertise in materials, coatings and biotechnology to combine antimicrobial molecules and test their effectiveness within the same company.
