Mundex W
biocide-free & antimicrobial
Based on the Mundex W technology, we develop tailor-made product formulations which are optimally adapted to the respective applications and application procedures of our customers.
Water-based permanently self-disinfecting technology
Mundex W is based on a water-based formulation of specially modified polymer emulsions. After curing, Mundex W shows highly efficient antimicrobial properties, which are exclusively due to hydrophobic interactions of the cured polymer emulsion with the cell membrane of microorganisms. This antimicrobial effect is purely physical and not due to chemical or ionic interactions. The polymer coating has been modelled on the natural structure of microorganisms to the greatest possible extent. Mundex W is free of biocides and nanoparticles and therefore absolutely environmentally friendly and sustainable.
With Mundex W, especially soft surfaces such as nonwovens, textiles, wallpapers, paper and cardboard can be given an antimicrobial finish without the use of biocides. Conventional application methods such as spraying, dipping, doctoring, foaming or padding are used.
In addition, the Mundex W technology is suitable for antimicrobial finishing of paints and varnishes.

Mundex W
biocide-free & antimicrobial
Mundex WF technology was developed by MUNDITECH specifically for direct contact with food and consumer goods. Mundex WF has all the necessary approvals for direct food contact as well as for the antimicrobial equipment of consumer goods.
Water-based permanently self-disinfecting technology
Mundex WF is based on a water-containing formulation of specially modified polymer emulsions.
After curing, Mundex WF shows highly efficient antimicrobial properties, which are exclusively due to hydrophobic interactions of the cured polymer emulsion with the cell membrane of microorganisms. This antimicrobial effect is purely physical and not due to chemical or ionic interactions.
The polymer coating has been modelled on the natural structure of microorganisms to the greatest possible extent. Mundex WF is free of biocides and nanoparticles and therefore absolutely environmentally friendly and sustainable.
With Mundex WF, soft as well as hard surfaces such as paper, cardboard, plastics, wood, etc. can be given an antimicrobial finish without the use of biocides. Conventional application methods such as brushing, spraying, dipping, doctoring or padding are used.
Mundex WF technology is particularly suitable for packaging foodstuffs in a way that is safe to health and environmentally friendly.
In addition, Mundex WF has the effect of extending the shelf life of fresh, perishable foodstuffs and, depending on the design of the packaging, by several times the average shelf life compared to packaging without Mundex WF coating.
Consumer goods that come into close contact with foodstuffs or humans should nevertheless be equipped with Mundex WF in order to ensure a safe and sustainable antimicrobial application.

Mundex L
biocide-free & antimicrobial
Based on the Mundex L technology, we develop tailor-made product formulations which are optimally adapted to the respective applications and application procedures of our customers.
Solvent-based permanent self-disinfecting technology
Mundex L is a solvent-based technology based on specially modified copolymers. After curing, Mundex L shows highly efficient antimicrobial properties which are exclusively due to hydrophobic interactions of the cured polymer emulsion with the cell membrane of microorganisms. This antimicrobial effect is purely physical and not due to chemical or ionic interactions. The polymer coating has been modelled on the natural structure of microorganisms to the greatest possible extent. Mundex L is free of biocides and nanoparticles and therefore absolutely environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Mundex L is suitable for hard surfaces, especially those subject to higher stress (e.g. contact surfaces). Mundex L is scratch resistant and can be applied by conventional application methods such as spraying and dipping.

Mundex HS
biocide-free & antimicrobial
Mundex HS is a highly concentrated form of the base formulation and can be incorporated into plastics or lacquers (e.g. polyurethane lacquers) to provide them with a biocide-free and sustainable antimicrobial finish.
Mundex HS –
the High Solid System
Mundex HS is completely biodegradable and is based on more than 80% renewable raw materials. Mundex HS can be incorporated into polymers and solvent-based coatings so that they exhibit highly efficient antimicrobial properties after curing, which are exclusively due to hydrophobic interactions with the cell membrane of microorganisms.
This antimicrobial effect is purely physical and not due to chemical or ionic interactions. The properties of Mundex HS are largely modelled on the natural structure of microorganisms. Mundex HS is free of biocides and nanoparticles and is therefore absolutely environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Mundex B
biocide-free & antimicrobial
Based on the Mundex B technology, we develop tailor-made product formulations which are optimally adapted to the respective applications and application procedures of our customers.
Water-based permanently self-disinfecting polymer emulsion
Mundex B is based on a water-based formulation of specially modified polymer emulsions. After curing, Mundex B shows highly efficient antimicrobial properties which are exclusively due to hydrophobic interactions of the cured polymer emulsion with the cell membrane of microorganisms. This antimicrobial effect is purely physical and not due to chemical or ionic interactions. The polymer coating has been modelled on the natural structure of microorganisms to the greatest possible extent. Mundex B is free of biocides and nanoparticles and is therefore absolutely environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Mundex B technology differs from Mundex W technology in its very high scratch resistance, as it is a baked-on system.
Mundex B cures within minutes at temperatures of 120-180°C and is suitable for the antimicrobial finishing of e.g. laminates, ceramic materials and metals. Conventional application methods such as spraying, dipping and doctoring are used.
