UTILISATION D'(HÉTÉRO)POLYOXOMÉTALATES PERMETTANT SIMULTANÉMENT DE CONFÉRER DES PROPRIÉTÉS ANTIMICROBIENNES ET DE RÉDUIRE LA CROISSANCE D'UN BIOFILM SUR UNE SURFACE D'UN SUBSTRAT DANS OU SUR UN APPAREIL DOMESTIQUE
The present invention relates to the use of at least one (hetero)polyoxometalate for simultaneously imparting antimicrobial properties to a surface of a substrate in or on a home appliance and reducing the growth of a biofilm on the surface of the substrate in or on a home appliance. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of a substrate in or on a home appliance comprising a (hetero)polyoxometalate or a mixture of (hetero)polyoxometalates, wherein the substrate is selected from a polymer body, paint, varnish and coating.
