BEAUTY AND DURABILITY
Versatile and flexible equipment capable of combining multiple technologies
Decorative PVD coatings are mainly applied to metals and plastics. They are available in a wide range of colors that offer scratch resistance, high hardness, and surface area durability, with an average thickness ranging between 0.2 µm and 2 µm.
ABACO®️ – Protec has ABACO®️ (AntiBActerial COating), the first and most advanced nanometric PVD Bactericidal and Virucidal coating on the market, which can be used for both decorative and functional purposes.
ABACO®️ can be applied as decoration on doorknobs, bathroom metals, cutlery, domestic utensils, and any other metal as desired. These thin PVD films destroy bacteria and act continuously throughout the life of the object. Thus, the technology also has application to countless objects and surfaces.
The ABACO®️ finish is also hypoallergenic and does not leave aesthetics aside: hardness, high color stability, and scratch resistance. In addition, it can be applied to both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
In 2021 it was validated after tests carried out by the Institute of Biology of the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). In addition to being bactericidal, the coating is also effective against Coronavirus. Furthermore, the technology was tested to be effective against virus strains like the Coronavirus MHV, Betacoronavirus genera (same genera and family as SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2 / COVID19, and MERS).
The tests followed the international standard ISO-BS ISO 21702: 2019 (first edition 2019-05-27).
