Anti-microbial paint
AFC now offers the added protection
of anti-microbial powder-
coat finishes on its products
to provide protection against a broad
spectrum of micro-organisms. When
applied to mobile carts, wall mounts,
and work stations the risk of spreading
harmful bacteria and viruses between
patients and health care workers is
greatly reduced, according to doctors
that use the anti-microbial powder coating
in their hospitals and laboratories.
High-density polyethylene
(HDPE) top now available
with anti-microbial protection
upgrade now available in many of
AFC’s polymer sheets, slabs and massive
shapes. HDPE helps products stay
cleaner between cleanings and inhibits
the growth of product-damaging microorganisms,
including bacteria, algae and
fungi on the surface. Microbe cell walls
that come into contact with HDPE are
destroyed on contact, without creating
opportunities for adaptive or resistant
strains to form. Because the antimicrobial
agent is bonded at the atomic
level throughout the sheet, it will not
leach out of the product. This means the
agent retains its effectiveness throughout
the life of the product and does not
harm the environment.
It is safe, non-toxic and non-hazardous
to ship and handle. The product is
EPA-registered and listed with the FDA
as a modifier to medical devices.
Products made using AFC’s polymers
with HDPE are easy to clean, disinfect
and keep hygienic using standard
cleaning procedures. Constant use of
cleaning solutions will not affect any
polymer.
