Bio Composites Plus - Antimicrobial Applications

Antimicrobial protection applications, utilising silver ion technology to reduce levels of bacteria, mould and fungi.

Bacteria, mould and fungi are found in every environment and are a natural part of everyday life. However, even in the cleanest of surroundings, microbes will begin to multiply on surfaces, sometimes to harmful levels.

When surfaces are touched by human contact, the transfer of microbes begins, resulting in cross-contamination. Some of the deadliest bacteria, such as MRSA, E.coli and Listeria can be caught via cross-contamination, leading to infection and illness.

There are some environments which experience large volumes of people on a daily basis, where there is a greater risk of cross-contamination occurring. Heading this list are:

Hospitals, Healthcare centres and surgeries

Daycare centres, convalescent and retirement homes
Offices, commercial centres and workplaces
Swimming baths, showers and changing rooms
Food processors, supermarkets and groceries
Restaurants, kitchens and fast-food outlets
Banks, post-offices, libraries and welfare centres.
Gymnasiums, saunas and solariums
Public transport systems: buses, trains, ferries and taxis
Commercial airlines, tourist buses and cruise liners
Schools, colleges and universities
Detention and correction centres
Hotels and boarding houses
Dormitories and military barracks

Cross-contamination of bacteria will often lead to serious illness – sometimes fatal – as many strains of MRSA bacteria are resistant to treatment by antibiotics.
