Two-component antimicrobial polymer network: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Visible residue from skin oils degrades optical clarity and aesthetic value in consumer interfaces. These innovations engineer specific surface energy and texture without restricted fluorinated compounds to prevent lipid adhesion.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Two-component antimicrobial polymer network?

Inconsistent coating thickness uniformity

(7)evidences

Standard aqueous polymer coatings suffer from high permeability and poor substrate adhesion. Improving the moisture vapor transmission rate prevents substrate corrosion and material degradation.

Surface coating mechanical degradation

(5)evidences

Substrate surfaces suffer from aesthetic degradation and functional interference due to oily residue accumulation. Reducing visibility of contaminants maintains optical clarity and surface hygiene.
