Flux Polymers offers a simple and easy solution to keep plastic surfaces free of bacteria. Recently, it has found an investor and can now start its operational business.
Based on a Purely Physical Effect
The patented coating prevents bacteria from adhering to the plastic surface. The antibacterial properties are based on a purely physical effect. No toxic substances that might induce resistance in bacteria are released from the coating.
"
Our simple process makes plastic surfaces antibacterial in just a few minutes," says CEO Dr. Anita Luxenhofer.
"We produce a polymer that is applied on the substrate by spray- or dip-coating and then permanently fixed by short UV irradiation."
"
The process is fast, cost-efficient and changes neither the look nor the feel of the coated material," assures Anita Luxenhofer. She and her team have received funding from investors advised by the family office Förster & Franke GmbH & Co. KG. "This investment will accelerate our go-to-market strategy and help us gain a foothold in the European market," explains the team's commercial director, Joachim Schramm.
