We investigate the antibacterial activity of Titania anatase in reducing bacterial colonies. Titania powder was deposited on polypropylene by spray method. The formed film was then the heated on the hotplate at 70°C. Antibacterial test was performed using the plate counting method. Principally, the Plate Count Method calculates the number of colonies formed on each plate. Plate Count Method is carried out by dissolving test samples containing bacteria with physiological salt water. Before dissolving, one piece of each sample that has been irradiated under the light for 24 hours was taken. This experiment shows good result of bacteria degradation. Technical grade Titania from Bratachem showed the performance almost the same as nano or pure titania did. The Technical grade titania has potential for large scale application.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Anti-bacterial activity,Antibacterial tests,Bacterial colonies,Large-scale applications,Light irradiations,Oxidizing agents,Physiological salt,Polypropylene sheets[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1204/1/012051[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
