Antibacterial Tile

Antibacterial Tile Introduction

Ceramic tiles due to having excellent chemical stability, as well as good appearance are widely used in different places such as hospitals and buildings. normally, the microorganisms reproduce easily on the ceramic tile surface, especially in wet environment. The silver-titanium nanocomposite particles have an antibacterial effect which can kill more than 650 different types of bacteria and they are not harmful to the environment and the human body. The silver-titanium nanocomposite particles along with silver ions in the ceramic glaze, penetrate the cell walls of bacteria and microorganisms and prevent their growth and reproduction. These nanoparticles can be mixed with ceramic glaze as an additive.

Application

• Construction of antibacterial walls and floors

Advantage of Using Nanotechnology

Addition of silver-titanium nanocomposite particles as an additive to the ceramic glaze creates antibacterial effect in the tile. Determining the antibacterial activity of this product was carried out in accordance with the ISIRI 10900.

ISIRI 10900: Evaluation of antibacterial activity on plastic and other non-porous surfaces.

Certificates and Standards

• NanoScale Certification
