Sharklet is the world’s first technology to inhibit bacterial growth through pattern alone. The Sharklet surface is comprised of millions of microscopic features arranged in a distinct diamond pattern. The structure of the pattern alone inhibits bacteria from attaching, colonizing and forming biofilms. Sharklet contains no toxic additives or chemicals.
Sharklet draws inspiration from the shape and pattern of the dermal denticles of sharkskin. Sharks are resistant to fouling organisms in the water including algae and barnacles.

For Hospitality
Hotels need a chemical-free solution to reduce transmission of bacteria and viruses. A recent study found elevator buttons, door handles, remote controls, chairs, desk, curtains, and ice bucket to be contaminated with various bacteria including E-coli, MRSA, and staph.
For Education
Schools need a chemical-free solution to reduce transmission of bacteria and viruses. According to a One PLOS study 80 stair handles were tested and nearly 9% came back positive for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The Journal of School Nursing ran a study in an average school setting which showed that close to 20% of desktops swabbed tested positive for Influenza A.
For Transportation
Metro Magazine published an article in 2019 indicating that 1 in 4 Americans do not wash their hands after using public transit. They also highlighted that 2 in 5 Americans travel while sick and 60% of those individuals do not wipe down the surfaces they’ve touched.
