An anti-microbial (AM) coating is a coating applied to protective glass or a touch panel that contains antimicrobial agents, such as silver or copper ions. Its purpose is to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms on the screen surface, thereby enhancing hygiene and safety. AM coatings are durable, active throughout the product’s lifetime, and resistant to frequent cleaning. They do not affect image quality or touch functionality.
This technology is used in medical equipment, self-service devices (e.g. kiosks, ATMs), the food industry, and any place where screens are frequently touched and must meet higher hygiene standards.
