Integran has recently developed a line of antiviral/microbial (AVM) polymer coatings for diverse applications
- The AVM coatings rapidly and continuously kill pathogens on contact.
- Reducing the spread of viruses, bacteria, and fungi by fomite transmission.
- Reducing the time and effort needed to clean, sanitize and disinfect surfaces.
- Reducing the amount of cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting products that are needed.
- Utilize EPA Registered antimicrobial additives.
- Have antibacterial efficacy verified by independent laboratory testing against MRSA based on ISO 22196. Additional antimicrobial and antiviral testing is ongoing.
- Fluorocarbon-free and low-VOC.
- Utilize Integran’s patented and proprietary hydrophobic/easy-clean polymer technologies.
- Patented: US 20210017395 (allowed); US 20210017399 (allowed)

Integran Technologies has also developed a thin film technology for use in PCB manufacturing stencils. Integran’s best-in-class Nanovate™ Stencil Foils combine the speed and cost savings of modern laser cutting technology with the durability and performance of electroformed nickel stencils.
Mechanical Properties
Nanovate™ is known across industries for its outstanding mechanical properties. Its high hardness and low coefficient of friction make for the longest lasting material on the market. Both your squeegee and stencils will last longer. The high yield strength allows usage of thin gauge sections. We offer down to 0.001” thick as custom orders.
