Production Line of Antimicrobial Anodizing for Aluminum Alloy

Studies have shown that silver with a high oxidation state has a high reduction potential, which is sufficient to generate atomic oxygen in the surrounding space. Atomic oxygen has strong oxidizing properties and can be used for sterilization; on the other hand, Ag+ can strongly attract sulfhydryl groups (- SH) from the proteases in bacteria, and quickly combine with it, which inactivates the bacteria and cause them to die. After killing the bacteria, Ag+ is free from the bacterial corpses, and then contact with other colonies, and repeatedly carry out the above process. In addition to silver, other metals have the same function.

Hence, add antibacterial factors to the anodizing solution. The anodizing process gets the factors into the pores of the oxide film formed on the aluminum alloy surface. Then evenly deposit the antibacterial factor particles, which can ensure the aesthetics of the aluminum alloy surface and be antibacterial and sterilize.

Compared with the traditional process of adding silver-copper metal elements to aluminum alloys and stainless steels, this process has lower costs and better outcomes.

Mirror’s antimicrobial anodizing technology has the following advantages:

1. Good antibacterial and antifungal effect;

2. Low cost;

3. Good thermal conductivity;

4. Anti-static function;

5. High hardness and good wear resistance;

6. Excellence heat and fire resistance;

7. Corrosion resistance and fading resistance;

7. UV protection;
