Overview


Antibacterial coatings are vital for addressing implant-associated infections on device surfaces. These coatings exhibit passive and active characteristics, depending on whether they locally release antibacterial agents. Passive coatings operate by impeding bacterial attachment and eradicating bacteria upon contact. The coating's physical and chemical attributes influence bacterial behaviour, including surface roughness, wettability, and conductivity. Notably, a crystalline anatase-enriched surface on titanium, created via anodization and heat treatment, substantially reduced the attachment of various bacterial strains without negatively affecting soft- and hard-tissue cellular responses. Polymer-coated titanium surfaces, like those coated with poly (ethylene glycol) and poly (methacrylic acid), also exhibited the capability to deter bacterial adhesion. Although passive coatings avoid the development of bacterial resistance, their antibacterial effectiveness is somewhat limited and varies among different bacterial strains. Active coatings release antibacterial agents into the adjacent tissues, including antibiotics, bioactive compounds, and inorganic antimicrobial agents. Several antibiotics have been incorporated into bio ceramics or biodegradable polymer coatings, such as gentamicin, amoxicillin, and vancomycin. However, achieving optimal release kinetics with minimal detrimental effects on cellular functions and tissue integration poses challenges. Moreover, concerns about potential bacterial drug resistance exist. Coatings containing nonantibiotic organic antibacterial agents, like chloroxylenol and chlorhexidine, present a solution with lower pathogen resistance risk. However, controlled and sustained release of these agents remains difficult. While in vivo evidence supporting their cytocompatibility and efficacy is inconclusive, they offer potential benefits. Nevertheless, due to the heat sensitivity of antibiotics and organic antibacterial agents, their incorporation through high-energy processes such as thermal spraying is restricted.

Active coatings can also be enriched with inorganic antimicrobial agents, mostly silver (Ag). Ag boasts a broad antibacterial spectrum and high biocompatibility, and its introduction through established methods like Pulsed Ion and Electron Beam-Induced Deposition (PID) and thermal spraying is feasible. Enhanced antibacterial efficacy was observed with Ag-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on titanium, maintaining cytocompatibility. However, further research is needed to comprehend potential long-term tissue toxicity and precise antibacterial mechanisms. Additional inorganic agents include Cu, F, Ca, N, and Zn, which can be incorporated into various biomaterials, including ceramics, polymers, metals, and diamond-like carbon (DLC).

Recent Development in Antibacterial Coatings Market:

  • In March of 2023, AkzoNobel collaborated with BioCote to enhance the reach of their Interpon brand antimicrobial powder coatings. This innovation finds versatile application across internal surfaces like window frames, ceiling tiles, metal office partitions, and metal and elevator doors. This strategic move serves to diversify AkzoNobel's product portfolio significantly.

  • In January 2022, BASF partnered with Permionics Membranes in Vadodara, India. The collaboration focused on integrating BASF's Ultrason E (PESU: polyethersulfone) into coated fabrics. These coated fabrics serve as practical barriers against particulates and bacteria in applications such as face masks, demonstrating the tangible benefits of this alliance

On the driver's side, the increasing awareness regarding healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the critical need to prevent their spread has propelled the demand for antibacterial coatings. These coatings offer a proactive approach to reducing microbial contamination on various surfaces, such as medical equipment, high-touch areas in healthcare facilities, and the consumer sector. Additionally, the ongoing advancements in nanotechnology and material sciences have enabled the development of highly effective antibacterial coatings with prolonged efficacy. Expanding industries such as healthcare, food processing, and textiles, where maintaining a hygienic environment is paramount, fuel the demand for these coatings. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of maintaining clean and sanitized surfaces, amplifying the market's growth prospects. However, certain restraints do exist. One notable challenge is the regulatory landscape surrounding the use of antibacterial agents in coatings. Ensuring these coatings' safety and environmental impact while adhering to stringent regulations can speed up the development and approval processes. Moreover, concerns about the potential development of antimicrobial resistance, wherein microbes become immune to the coatings' effects, raise ethical and scientific questions that must be addressed in the industry. Economic factors can also play a role, as antibacterial coatings can sometimes be more expensive to produce and apply than traditional coatings. This might limit their adoption, particularly in cost-sensitive sectors. Additionally, while antibacterial coatings offer a proactive solution, their effectiveness heavily relies on proper cleaning and maintenance practices, which may only sometimes be consistently followed.
