Furthermore, since it is bonded to the fibers of the fabrics, this type of finish is durable and resistant to repeated washing.<\/p>\n<h3>Can be applied to various surfaces<\/h3>\n<p>This finish can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, including seats, walls, floors, and even doors. The addition of antibacterial finishes on trains helps create a hygienic and safe environment for passengers, reducing the risk of contagion and improving their travel experience.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, antibacterial finishes are another example of how technologies are improving the transportation sector, offering a safer and more comfortable travel experience for passengers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_33030\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33030\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33030\" src=\"https:\/\/gesaindustry.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/finitura-antibatterica-300x251.jpg\" alt=\"antibacterial treatment\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gesaindustry.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/finitura-antibatterica-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gesaindustry.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/finitura-antibatterica-768x644.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gesaindustry.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/finitura-antibatterica.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-33030\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Antibacterial finishes<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_stain-resistant_finish\"><\/span><strong>The stain-resistant finish<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It gives fabrics hydrophobic properties and low moisture absorption, making it more difficult for microorganisms to attach to its surface. The surface becomes easier to clean and improves its hygienic properties.<\/p>\n<p>The process involves interpenetrating the molecular structure of the surface, thereby preventing the penetration and deposition of water or other liquids, as well as organic and synthetic oils and lubricating fats, while maintaining complete breathability of the substrate, if applicable.<\/p>\n<h3>How are hydrophobic properties obtained?<\/h3>\n<p>The principle of operation is based on the use of anatase phase titanium dioxide, which, when irradiated with UV or sunlight, will develop photoinduced photocatalytic and superhydrophobic properties, and thus, the change in the angle of cohesion occurs due to light absorption.<\/p>\n<p>This principle is related to the concept of self-cleaning of the material: water droplets remaining intact on the surface will roll downwards, picking up all the dirt deposited on the surface during their descent and carrying it away with them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gesa Industry<\/strong> is also committed to the fight against Covid-19, taking every possible measure to ensure the health of its employees and maintaining close contact with customers to provide the right support and efficient assistance on every occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are train finishes The train finishes serve to improve the aesthetic appearance, functionality, and durability of the interiors and exteriors of the trains.
