Abstract
An improved antimicrobial coated product and a method for coating substrates, the product of which is capable of withstanding high impact, is not subject to corrosion, is resistant to germ retention and transfer, and thus is extremely well suited for the containment of toxic, hazardous, corrosive, and bacteria-laden wastes as well as for products which are resistant to attack from fungus, positive and negative bacteria, yeast infections and contaminations, and viruses, as well as resistant to attack from corrosion, corrosive chemicals, caustic chemicals, and radiation. The substrate is coated with a thermoplastic material incorporating an antimicrobial agent by electrostatic, fluidized bed or flame spraying techniques. Alternatively, the substrate may be coated with a combination of a thermosetting resin and a thermoplastic material, either or both incorporating an antimicrobial agent, all of which can be cured in place.
