Product Specification
Gator Skin is an FDA-compliant food safe non-stick nano-ceramic coating suitable for use on cutting instruments and blades. Gator Skin reduces drag, keeps edges sharper longer and prevents corrosion without the need for oil. Treated blades work better for longer with less need for maintenance. Gator Skin is easy to apply and extremely durable. Surfaces may be easily re-coated when required.
Sold in a 2oz bottle - 300 square inches of blade coverage per bottle.
------------------------------
Key Performance Properties:
• Non-stick.
• Reduces drag.
• Keeps edges sharper for longer.
• Prevent corrosion without the need for oil.
• Easy clean.
• FDA-compliant for food contact.
• Inert (benign) material once cured.
• Easy application by wipe or spray.
• May be re-coated as needed for long term performance.
• Cures under ambient conditions.
• Excellent adhesion. Creates a covalent bond to the
substrate for long-term durability.
• Applies thin (2-3 micron dry film thickness).
• RoHS and REACH compliant.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE NANO-CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY:
Gator Skin utilizes proprietary aerospace nano-ceramics to create a range of high-performance coatings. The nano-ceramic coatings covalently bond to almost any surface for long-term adhesion and extreme durability.
Gator Skin nano-ceramic coatings are low-VOC, easy to apply, and air cure under ambient conditions. Treated surfaces are hydrophobic and oleophobic. The ceramic matrix protects against abrasion, chemicals, and UV-radiation for the life of the coating.
Gator Skin ANTIMICROBIAL ADDITIVE:
Gator Skin uses a powerful organosilicon-based antimicrobial additive that is an effective surface disinfectant and adds exceptional continuous bacteriostatic, fungistatic, and algistatic properties to coated surfaces. The antimicrobial is blended throughout the entire thickness of the coating for long-term antimicrobial durability.
The antimicrobial additive creates a network of electrically charged molecules on the exposed surface that ruptures the cell membrane of microorganisms that come into contact with the coating. The antimicrobial’s physical kill mechanism is highly effective and does not promote the development of drug-resistant superbugs.
OTHER KEY PROPERTIES OF Gator Skin's ANTIMICROBIAL ADDITIVE:
• EPA Registered Approved and FDA-compliant for Food Contact Surfaces.
• Protects plastics, textiles, and other coated surfaces from colonization by a wide variety of pathogens, viruses, bacteria, mold, algae, and other microorganisms.
• Proven effective to protect treated surfaces against colonization by Influenza and Human Coronavirus (untested against COVID-19).
• Does not contain any heavy metals and does not leach chemicals or metals out of the coating.
• Non-toxic and non-hazardous to humans and pets when used as directed.
• No transdermal absorption.
