Surfaces that resist contamination have been called “smart” coatings, self-cleaning, or stain-resistant. To protect a surface from dirt, debris, and organic matter, you have to treat the surface at the molecular level, not just a superficial coating. Silane surface treatments are known to create strong bonds with surfaces. These bonds can be either ionic or covalent. With silanes you can control surface energy, create super-hydrophobic properties, hydrophilic surface treatments, or even combinations of hydrophobic / hydrophilic energies. Some silanes are known to create self-assembling monolayers that densely pack the surface with the molecular treatment.

BIOSAFE has utilized a variety silanes and siloxanes to create very unique surface energies that resists dirt, organic matter, and staining from unwanted contamination. These chemistrys can be deployed as an additive to existing coatings, or they can enhance a substrate themselves at the molecular level. Surface treatments utilizing silicon-based technology are cost-effective and improve cleanability, saving time and money in the long run.

The unique combination chemistry's BIOSAFE uses for clean surface treatments are safe, zero-VOC, and listed with FDA and NSF-51 for food contact surfaces.
