• High chemical and thermal resistance
• Mechanism of action is not based on the release of substances

• Catalytically supported redox reactions generate reactive oxygen species (ROS)
• Suitable for use in consumer goods
• Risk-free handling and storage

• No resistances possible, due to the completely different antimicrobial effect

• Suitable for a variety of applications
• Applicable in and on many materials
• Offers advantages for regulatory affairs
• Low weight

Classical antifouling paints release metal ions, which pollute the environment. Due to the release of metal ions, the antimicrobial effect gets lost and the fouling process starts. Biofouling has tremendous environmental and economic consequences. Biofouling increases the flow resistance of ships, causing the vessels to use up to 30% more fuel. This not only results in additional costs, but also significantly increases the CO2 pollution. But the higher pollutant emissions are not the only ecological danger. Marine organisms such as crabs can reach new regions where they would never have been able to reach without the ships and severely disturb the ecological balance.

Unlike classical biocides in antifouling paints, the AGXX particles will not leach out, promising a longer lasting effect, no pollution of the environment by the release of metal ions and continuously preventing the development of a biofilm. This has immense advantages for the environment and the economy.

Facades in particular of well insulated low energy houses using Exterior Wall Insulation System tend to grow more microbes (algae) as the surface stays longer wet. This fouling makes houses looking unkept and therefore must be cleaned and painted more frequently. AGXX particles mixed in wall paints and plastering will not leach out, promising a longer lasting effect, no pollutants are released to the environment and sustainably preventing the formation of a biofilm.

Air filtration systems offer a fertile breeding ground for legionella bacteria and molds. The microorganisms particularly like to grow over the humid filters. As soon as the air filtration system is switched on and the air blows out, the accumulated microorganisms flow out and subsequently cause diseases or spread unpleasant odors. Furthermore, there is a risk that air filtration systems will encourage the spread of diseases as they can spread pathogens throughout an entire building.

Using AGXX technology in air filtration systems can prevent the growth of microorganisms over the filters, evaporators and pipes. The spread of pathogens can be stopped by killing them before they come into contact with humans.

In the course of the corona pandemic, face masks have become a part of daily life. The face mask is touched frequently e.g. when unpacked and packed again before each use. This results in an increasing contamination of the face mask and reduces its effectiveness as a protection against corona viruses. The alternative to avoid contamination are disposable masks. What is necessary in the medical field, leads to huge amount of avoidable waste in private households.

Using AGXX technology in face masks can prevent the spreading of the coronavirus and reduce waste, by killing the microorganisms on the face mask.

Sport means movement and with every movement the human body generates warmth. So that the body does not overheat due to the movement, it sweats and thus cools down. Therefore, not only it is normal to sweat while exercising, it is absolutely necessary. After a while, however, the sweat gets decomposed by bacteria and starts to develop an unpleasant odor. This odor development is a problem in particular for sportswear that cannot be washed after every sports session, such as shoes, gloves or shin guards.

By using AGXX technology in sportswear, the development of unpleasant odor can be prevented. Since AGXX kills bacteria, the sportswear is protected from unpleasant odors.

Mobility plays a major role in all our lives. Alternative concepts, such as car sharing, are in demand to make even constantly growing mobility needs sustainable.

With new mobility concepts, new challenges arise. One important aspect nowadays is the hygienic design of cars, airplanes, and trains. Especially in cars, people touch many surfaces. This makes it easy for microorganisms and associated diseases to spread.

This scenario also plays an immense role in airplanes, where beside people from all around the world a wide range of microorganisms come together. As a result, diseases can spread quickly and easily.

By using AGXX technology in the interior of passenger transport vehicles, they can be made more hygienic and the spread of diseases can be prevented.

Medical devices contaminated with pathogens are often the source of hospital-acquired infections. In Germany alone, an estimated 20,000 people die each year as a result of a hospital-acquired infection. Almost 80% of all hospital-acquired infections can be traced back to pneumonia, urinary tract infections, wound infections, sepsis and diarrhea caused by the pathogen Clostridium difficile. If the AGXX technology is used in medical devices, the risk of hospital-acquired infections can be reduced significantly and in consequents reduce the number of infectious deaths.

In the open office concept, many people share their workplaces. As a result, a different person can work at a different work desk on any given day, using the same keyboard and mouse as their colleagues on the days before. Thus, a contamination of the keyboard and the mouse with microorganisms becomes very likely, potentially resulting in spreading diseases throughout the office. Using AGXX in keyboards and mouse devices can prevent contamination and thus the spread of diseases in open offices.

Despite regular cleaning, various microorganisms, including pathogens, lurk in public sanitary facilities. Particularly in highly frequented sanitary facilities, diseases can easily spread through smear infections. Using AGXX in sanitary facilities you can make them much more hygienic and thus reduce the spread of diseases via smear infections in sanitary facilities.

In public transport, many different microorganisms lurk on surfaces and grab handles, as they are touched frequently by a high number of people. Microorganisms can be transmitted between passengers and, consequently diseases can spread easily and quickly. Therefore, many people no longer dare to use the grab handles on buses, trains, or other modes of public transportation. This can be dangerous or even fatal, because people who do not hold on are at greater risk in traffic accidents. In general, many people prefer their own car to public transport, not least for reasons of hygiene. This leads to lower revenues in local public transport and to a higher environmental pollution.

The use of the AGXX technology in public transport can eliminate concerns about hygiene and the use of handles and thus increase the attractiveness of public transport, which ultimately benefits the environment.
