Fluoink Nanotechnologies
Fluoink Nanotechnologies is a nano-tech company that develops an innovative, state of the art, antibacterial platform that can give any surface the power to instantly and continuously, destroy bacteria, especially in hospitals where hundreds of vulnerable and antibiotic resistant bacteria proliferate, which are called nosocomial bacteria. Our mission is to create additives that maximise the success of our clients’ products. We offer antibacterial additives designed to be compatible with all kinds of materials such as paint, varnish, textile and polymers.
The proposed solution is a new antibacterial additive prepared as silver nano-particles. The silver particles dispersed in the paint layer neutralize any pathogenic organisms and thus prevent them from proliferating. This project aims at producing, first, antibacterial additives for water-based wall paints. Once added according to specifications, the paints become effective against all types of bacteria that come in contact with the walls.
This antibacterial paint is distinguished by its durability, more than three years, its effectiveness against a broad spectrum of bacteria and by its non-toxicity unlike conventional fungicides. It also offers protection against the formation of any mold on the walls due to moisture or rain, which offers more longevity than conventional paints.
