Thai Anti-Microbial Coating Technology Stack
5 chemistries licensed from Korean, Japanese, Western IP partners
The Thai medical-textile pivot rests on five anti-microbial coating chemistries: silver nanoparticle (Ag-NP), copper oxide (CuO), zinc pyrithione, chitosan, and quaternary ammonium. Silver-nanoparticle and copper-oxide are the dominant chemistries for surgical wrap and isolation gown; zinc pyrithione covers hospital linen and bedding; chitosan covers premium reusable anti-microbial bedding; quaternary ammonium covers mask and cap categories. IP is licensed predominantly from Korean (Kolon Industries, LG Chem), Japanese (Toyobo, Teijin Frontier), and Western (DuPont, Milliken, Microban) partners. Thai Textile Institute runs a Bangkok pilot lab funded at THB 380 million through 2027 to derisk local synthesis and reduce royalty load.
