| General Information Page 2155 Sanline General Information Functioning principle - Powder coating with zinc molybdate Powder coatings with an additive based on zinc molybdate have a powerful antibacterial effect. The coating mimics the natural acidic protective sheath of human skin. Glands in the skin produce acids that lower the pH and form an acidic protective sheath for the body, rendering pathogens on the skin harmless. With zinc molybdate, this principle can be recreated by technical means: On the surface of the coating, oxide particles chemically react with moisture in the air to form an acid group, lowering the pH. The resulting oxonium ions (H3O+) destroy the cell walls of the bacteria via protolysis. This process ensures a constant reduction in microorganisms, preventing their growth and disrupting their ability to establish themselves on the surfaces.
