Did you know that copper material is inherently antimicrobial?
Copper is an ideal antimicrobial surface and one of the oldest known natural antimicrobial substances. It is often used in medical settings and other high-touch applications. Since its antimicrobial properties are inherent to the material, its effectiveness doesn’t decline with time. Click here to learn more about the unique antimicrobial properties of copper alloys.
Why use our PVD antimicrobial copper coating machines?
VaporTech® PVD antimicrobial copper coating machines offer several advantages. Customers can apply this coating in the same VaporTech machines as other DLC and PVD coatings. Our coating is:
- A cost-effective solution. Only microns thin, this low-cost coating uses far less raw material and has a minimal effect on critical part dimensions.
- Engineered for significantly greater wear and corrosion resistance than solid copper or copper alloy (i.e., brass) parts.
- Our antimicrobial copper coating systems make it easy to apply.
- A single application at the product manufacturer that does not need to be re-applied by the end user.
- An attractive dark steel gray.
