FluoroMed® Anti-Microbial
Silver Oxide is formed on the surface of the FluoroMed coating, which simultaneously attacks multiple sites within the pathogenic cell to deactivate critical physiological and reproductive functions of the cell. Silver Ions have a high affinity for negatively charged side groups on bacterial molecules, which bind to the bacterial DNA. This hinders bacterial replication and simultaneously deactivates the metabolic enzymes of the cell. The result is that reproduction of the microorganism is stopped or the microorganism is killed. A key advantage of anti-microbial silver is its remarkably low human toxicity combined with a broad spectrum of antibacterial efficacy.
As awareness of the significant economic and personal damage done by a wide range of bacteria and other micobes grows, attention is being focused on the need for improved anti microbial and anti bacterial coatings that are both effective and safe.
In response, Orion Industries, Ltd. has developed highly potent anti bacterial and anti microbial coatings that prevents growth of bacteria on or along numerous products designed for use in biomedical applications in combination with our FluoroMed® AM process, consumer products and industrial applications.Orion Industries is an expert applicator of this anti microbial coating for all purposes listed.
The active ingredient in Orion's breakthrough is Silver (Ag), a well established inorganic anti microbial / anti bacterial that has been incorporated into a delivery system compatible with the manufacturing processes of the products to be protected, while providing a continuous controlled release of Silver over an extended time period.
Orion's FluoroPlate® AM and FluoroMed® AM- anti microbial coatings are effective against the following bacteria: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, S.Enteritidis, V.Parahaemolyticus, B.Sutilis, Streptococs, Staphylococs, Klebsiella, Clostridium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus, Aeromonas, Flavobacterium, Xanthomonas, Acinetobacter, Entero-viruses, Aspergillus, Candida Albicans, Salmonela, Listeria, Enterococcus faecalis, Entrococcus faecium, Clostridium difficile.
