New Sharklet Germ Control film
Sharklet ’ s micropattern is the world ’ s first technology to control microbes through surface texture alone .
Sharklet departs from traditional antimicrobial technologies by not using any additives to kill microorganisms , but instead creates a non-toxic topography that decreases surface energy . Chemical additions can contribute to resistant strains of germs and may be hazardous in applications such as hospitals , children , and the elderly .
The new Sharklet Germ Control Film includes Sharklet micropattern that is comprised of millions of microscopic features arranged in a repeating diamond pattern . Sharklet is engineered to produce an anti-fouling effect through enhancing the surface energy of common materials , similar to how it works on actual sharks . Effective against many viruses and bacteria .
Film is available at shop . sharklet . com .
