OCTADECYLDIMETHYL(3-TRIMETHOXYSILYLPROPYL)AMMONIUM CHLORIDE (5% in water, 500mL)

Description

APPLICATION:
This biomaterial is an organosilane antimicrobial: anti-bacterial, anti-fungus, anti-mold, anti-mildew, and anti-algae.

Mode of Action: Physically ruptures the cell membranes of microbials.
No drug resistance
Non-leaching from coated surfaces
Non-migration
Non-diffusion
Non-discoloration on the substrate

This organosilane forms an interpenetrating network (IPN) with the polymer substrates. This polymeric organosilane antimicrobial forms hydrogen bonds with the substrate polymer and becomes permanently entangled with the substrate such that the antimicrobial forms an interpenetrating network with the plastic substrate. The coating is non-leaching contact kill. This biomaterial kills micro-organisms by effectively puncturing and rupturing the microorganisms’ cell wall.

This biocompatible organosilane antimicrobial can be used on food containers, clothing, beverage tubing, water filter,

This biocompatible organosilane does not cause irritation or sensitization with or on skin contact. The chemistry has been reviewed and approved by FDA and EPA. It can be utilized as a modifier to class I and II medical devices under the FDA 510(k) process.
