Used as a biocidal silane in antimicrobial coatings, this chemical is effective in imparting long-lasting microbial resistance to surfaces. It is commonly incorporated into coatings, paints, and polymers to prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and algae. Its reactive silane group allows it to bond covalently to substrates like glass, metals, and ceramics, creating a durable antimicrobial surface. Frequently applied in healthcare environments, it helps reduce the risk of infection by inhibiting microbial colonization on medical devices, touch surfaces, and sanitary fixtures. Also used in textiles and air filtration systems for microbial control.
