ORMOCER® coatings can apply their antimicrobial properties to various microorganisms. At the Translational Center for Regenerative Therapies of the Fraunhofer ISC, the following tests are carried out on the antimicrobial behavior of the coatings:
- ORMOCER® coating of an ETFE film: Hemmhof test to measure effectiveness against Aspergillus Niger DSM 1957 -> The tests have shown that the effectiveness against microorganisms lasts for at least six weeks.
- ORMOCER® coating of a PP film: Hemmhof test to measure the effectiveness against Saccaromyces Cerevesiae and Micrococcus Luteus -> The tests have shown that no bacterial growth takes place on the polymer film with ORMOCER® coating.
