In an era where surface hygiene has become a global priority, antibacterial coatings are no longer optional — they are essential. Our laboratories provide scientific proof of coating effectiveness through validated invitro methods.
Where Innovation Meets Responsibility
The world is demanding cleaner, safer, and more resilient surfaces. From hospitals and public transit to consumer electronics and industrial equipment, hygiene has become a defining feature of modern product design. Antibacterial coatings are at the forefront of this transformation, offering protection that goes beyond aesthetics and durability.
But in a market filled with bold claims, one question matters most: Does it really work?
This is where Wimpey laboratory (Part of Cotecna Group) testing becomes the backbone of credibility.
The Science Behind Trust
Antibacterial efficacy isn’t a matter of opinion — it’s a measurable performance attribute. Using internationally recognized standards such as ISO 22196 and JIS Z 2801, we evaluate how effectively a coating inhibits bacterial growth on nonporous surfaces.
These methods deliver:
- Quantifiable antibacterial activity values
- Reproducible results
- Clear differentiation between treated and untreated surfaces
In other words, they turn marketing promises into verifiable performance.
Advantages of Antibacterial Efficacy Testing
