Sopero Lacktechnik Active_O

Sopero Lacktechnik Active_O works as simply as it does efficiently. If light (illumination or sunlight) hits an Active_O paint surface, 99.99% of germs as well as bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores are killed. And that without harmful biocides or finely divided metals such as e.g. B. isothiazolinones or silver. Active_O not only reduces disinfection costs by ensuring automated basic hygiene, but also helps to close hygiene gaps between cleaning processes. This prevents germs from being carried over and spreading further.

    Advantages

    Active_O works against bacteria (e.g. Staphyloscoccus aureus or Escherichia coli), against viruses (e.g. Herpes simplex), against fungi (e.g. Aspergillus niger) as well as against multi-resistant germs and corona viruses.

    The advantages at a glance:

    • Up to 99.99% germ reduction (bacteria and enveloped viruses)
    • Tested in field trial
    • Universally applicable coating
    • Can be applied later
    • 4 years effective
    • Effective on dry and wet surfaces
    • Environmentally friendly
    • non-toxic
    • Activation by visible light (no UV!)
    • Scalable by light intensity
    Product Highlights

    The energy of the incident light is transferred to the neighboring oxygen molecules by the Active_O photocatalyst. This high-energy form of normal oxygen (singlet oxygen) only has a short lifespan, so it cannot accumulate in the ambient air and can therefore develop its full effectiveness on the surface.

    • The antimicrobial paint system is available as a 2K polyurethane paint in the gloss levels gloss, satin and matt and can be painted over all conventional 2K systems.
    • Highest antimicrobial effectiveness
    • Reduction of germs at > 99.99%
    • No use of nanosilver or free silver ions, which are physiologically questionable. 
    • "Easy to use": Provides you with simple technical handling and application.
    • Low tendency to abrasion
    • High solids content
    • High yield and quick layer build-up
    • Low environmental impact due to low solvent content

    Applications & Uses

    Areas of Application

    Active_O was specifically designed for use in hygiene-sensitive areas such as medical devices (housing and panels), hospitals and medical practices, public transport, building equipment for train stations and airports, schools and kindergartens, handrails and handles, profiles and switches, and much more. develops and supports the daily hygiene process. Active_O can be used on almost all paintable surfaces. The application creates an excellent, long-lasting antimicrobial paint finish that significantly reduces the risk of microbial transmission.
