Sharklet Chemical-Free Antibacterial Surface Tech**logy Soon on More Products Sappi **rth America, a division of South Africa’s paper and packaging company Sappi, has an**unced that it’s bringing to market a new casting*and release paper that uses Tech**logy from Sharklet, a company out of Aurora, Colorado, to prevent bacteria from growing on surfaces. There are ** chemicals or silver ions involved, but instead it is the micron-resolution micropattern crafted onto*the Surface that does all the work.
The new Neoterix ST*paper is **t intended to be used as a final product, but instead allows manufacturers of devices to create surfaces with a Sharklet bacteria inhibiting micropattern. The paper is used like a mold for fabrics and laminates and is ******* to reveal the final product.
Because the objects produced by Sharklet Tech**logy are only about 3 microns tall and 2 microns wide, surfaces featuring it don’t feel or look any different and can be made to be even nice and glossy.
