Antimicrobial Glass Powder

  • The new standard in antimicrobial glass. Our innovative solution takes surface sanitation to new heights with enhanced antimicrobial performance.

What Is an Antimicrobial?

  • Antimicrobial is an agent that suppresses growth of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi. Adding or applying antimicrobial agents to coats or plastics protects the surface from microbial pollutants – a passive approach to suppressing unwanted growth compared to sterilization or disinfection.

  • What’s the difference between antimicrobial and sterilization?

    Among the many differences between, sterilization / disinfection and antimicrobial technologies, a key difference is the purpose. Sterilization is the active method of killing microorganisms using UV, heat, chemicals, etc. With potential to permanently damage your products or harm individuals when exposed, sterilization is a method used under limited conditions. Antimicrobial is not as potent but offers a safer way to protect your product surfaces, which broadens its range of application compared to more specialized or medical purposes that sterilization serves.

  • Antimicrobial

    Antimicrobial

    It refers to resistance to microorganisms
    including bacteria and fungi, and
    inhibiting their growth.

  • Disinfection

    Disinfection

    Disinfection refers to killing of bacteria by methods such as heat, ultraviolet rays, or radiation. In general, it means the incomplete inhibition of bacteria rather than sterilization.

  • Sterilization

    Sterilization

    Sterilization refers to the state in
    which all microorganisms are completely
    killed and microbial activity is
    completely disrupted.

  • How Does It Work?

    Microorganisms multiply easily in the presence of humidity and nutrients, contaminating the product surface and reducing its lifecycle. Surfaces applied with LG Antimicrobial stay clean for longer even in environments vulnerable to microbial growth, helping ease surface maintenance and increasing the lifecycle.
