Detailed introduction:
Antibacterial flooring refers to adding a certain amount of antibacterial agent to the flooring material and processing it into antibacterial flooring. Antibacterial flooring can inhibit the growth of surface bacteria, thereby achieving long-term hygiene and safety goals.
Meaning of antibacterial board
Sterilization: Sterilization is the process of completely killing all the reproductive forms and spores of microorganisms on an object. There are many sterilization methods, mainly physical and chemical. The most commonly used methods are high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization and chemical drug sterilization.
Disinfection: A method that can only kill general pathogenic microorganisms, called disinfection.
Sterilization: The function of killing microbial nutrients and reproductive organisms is called sterilization.
Antibacterial: The function of preventing or inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms is called antibacterial. The drugs used for antibacterial purposes are called antibacterial agents or preservatives.
Antibacterial: Antibacterial and bactericidal effects are collectively referred to as antibacterial.
Floor selection
Antibacterial wood flooring, in simple terms, is made by adding a certain amount of antibacterial agent to the flooring material and processing it. It can inhibit the proliferation of surface bacteria, thereby achieving long-term hygiene and safety goals. Antibacterial flooring is gradually gaining attention and favor from consumers.
The main reason for this is due to the increasing living standards of people, the continuous strengthening of health and environmental awareness, especially the impact of epidemic diseases such as SARS and avian influenza, which has led to a higher level of concern and attention from consumers towards their home environment.
As antibacterial wood flooring, their antibacterial components are also quite different. Generally, antibacterial agents can be classified into two categories: organic and inorganic.
In the wooden flooring market, products that use inorganic antibacterial agents are more common.
Inorganic antibacterial agents are divided into three types: silver ion antibacterial agents, photocatalyst antibacterial agents, and zinc oxide whiskers.
Silver ion antibacterial agent utilizes the antibacterial ability of silver to fix silver ions on the surface of porous materials such as zeolites through physical adsorption ion exchange and other methods.
The main component of photocatalytic antibacterial agents is nanoscale titanium dioxide, which is in a high-energy state by absorbing light and transferring high energy to reactants to cause chemical reactions, thus eliminating airborne bacteria, fungi, and dust mites in the air.
Zinc oxide whiskers can react with oxygen and moisture in the air under normal conditions to release various antibacterial substances such as oxygen atoms, hydroxyl radicals, and negative oxygen ions. Meanwhile, zinc ions can also react with enzymes in bacteria to kill them.
There is no distinction between the grades of these three inorganic antibacterial agents, so consumers should also consider comprehensive indicators such as the quality, price, and after-sales service of the original brand when making a purchase.
