Technical Name: Speco Flagship Antimicrobial Coating for Food-Contact Surfaces
Key Technology: Nano-Encapsulated Organo-Silane Coating

Primary Function

Trakalla’s antimicrobial cutting boards are enhanced with Speco’s flagship food-contact safe antimicrobial coating, engineered for surface-bound, long-lasting pathogen control.

This is formulated to:

• Protect against common foodborne pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, and Listeria monocytogenes.
  
• Continuous antimicrobial efficacy for up to 2 years under normal use and cleaning cycles.
  
• Invisible, non-leaching protection without affecting the board’s texture, color, or cutting performance.

The formula is non-toxic, odorless, heavy-metal free, and compliant with international FDA and EU food contact safety standards.

Mechanism of Action
Surface-Immobilized Antimicrobial Layer Utilizes advanced organo-silane chemistry to establish covalent bonds between the active antimicrobial agents and the cutting board substrate, creating a densely packed, uniform barrier that is permanently anchored at the molecular level, thereby enhancing resistance to mechanical abrasion, chemical detergents, and high-temperature sanitation processes

Contact-Kill Technology
The immobilized antimicrobial moieties exert their biocidal effect through direct disruption of microbial cell membranes upon contact, leading to irreversible cytoplasmic leakage and cell lysis, in a non-leaching mechanism that ensures localized activity without migration of actives into food

Nano-Scale Surface Interaction
Nano-encapsulation optimizes the spatial distribution of active sites across the substrate, enabling uniform antimicrobial efficacy even within micro-abrasions and knife-induced surface irregularities, while preserving structural integrity and biocidal activity over repeated cleaning and operational cycles.
