Kalamazoo Security Print, which has the majority of UK NHS trusts as its customers, can offer a solution to help limit potential incidents of cross contamination by using a brand new technology which kills microbes on contact.
Kalamazoo Security Print’s Product & Development Manager, Maureen Bott says “We are now able to integrate an additive into our products used within the health care industry which helps break the transmission paths of the disease, killing microbes on contact.
“After being independently tested and verified by the Medical Institute for Microbiology at the University of Milan, the Virology Institute at the University of Catania, the SIK Institute in Gothenburg and LawLabs in Birmingham, clinical research showed that 99.9 per cent of bacteria are killed within 24 hours. The additive has also been approved and listed with the EPA, FDA and the EU biocide Directive.”
This additive has great potential and gives numerous materials such as moulding compounds, thermoplastics, laminates and paints an immediate antibacterial effect.
