Antimicrobial is an agent that suppresses growth of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi. Adding or applying antimicrobial agents to coats or plastics protects the surface from microbial pollutants – a passive approach to suppressing unwanted growth compared to sterilization or disinfection.

Among the many differences between, sterilization / disinfection and antimicrobial technologies, a key difference is the purpose. Sterilization is the active method of killing microorganisms using UV, heat, chemicals, etc. With potential to permanently damage your products or harm individuals when exposed, sterilization is a method used under limited conditions. Antimicrobial is not as potent but offers a safer way to protect your product surfaces, which broadens its range of application compared to more specialized or medical purposes that sterilization serves.
It refers to resistance to microorganisms including bacteria and fungi, and inhibiting their growth.
isinfection refers to killing of bacteria by methods such as heat, ultraviolet rays, or radiation. In general, it means the incomplete inhibition of bacteria rather than sterilization.
Sterilization refers to the state in which all microorganisms are completely killed and microbial activity is completely disrupted.
LG Antimicrobial is an inorganic antimicrobial agent made of powdered glass material designed and engineered for specialized purposes. Safer and tougher than conventional organic antimicrobials, LG Antimicrobial has reached surfaces in various industries and products including healthcare, construction, cars, food and beverages, and more.
Powerful Antimicrobial Protection
Long-lasting Performance
Stability for Discoloration
Microorganisms multiply easily in the presence of humidity and nutrients, contaminating the product surface and reducing its lifecycle. Surfaces applied with LG Antimicrobial stay clean for longer even in environments vulnerable to microbial growth, helping ease surface maintenance and increasing the lifecycle.
