Matter is an antimicrobial coating that taps into the power of silver ion technology to offer protection from harmful microbes and bacteria. The coating with antimicrobial properties works as a protective barrier and it can be applied to the packaging of products so that the spread of harmful organisms can be reduced.
According to Designsake founder and CCO Danielle McWaters, "It's like an ink you would use in the print production process, and it acts as a top coat on the packaging." As such, the versatile material has the potential to be applied to many different surfaces, including paper, glass or aluminum—and it's important to note that adding matter to the surface of a material does so without compromising that material’s recyclability.
