Summary

Bioadherence initiates all surface contamination phenomena. It draws on a certain number of physical and chemical characteristics of the surfaces themselves. Playing on these parameters, in particular thanks to specific materials (hydrophobic, ultrahydrophobic, non-bioadherent hydrophilic surfaces) making it possible to prevent a process that may generate severe damage, in clean rooms and in less contained premises.
