The invention describes a waste safeguard for forming processes, which is using locally applied vibrations to avoid a slug pulling. Implementing this technology increases the operating speed and improves the quality of the machined part. The technology is flexible in use and can be integrated in different forming processes and tools.

A special process to coat SiO2 nanoparticles around with biocidal quaternary ammonium silanes has been achieved, so that the biocidal moiety points always outwards. Subsequently, the nanoparticles can be deposited on one surface from a dispersion of a simple solvent (for example alcohol). The forming surface coating acts purely contact active antimicrobial. That means, when touching, no toxic substances go over the contacting body. The new SiO2 nanoparticles are suitable for the antimicrobial coating especially in sanitary and wet areas, for example, of silicone joints. However, all surfaces in principle can be coated with them.
