Summer School Refits – Where Integrated Antimicrobial Protection Adds Long-Term Value
Summer school refurbishments create opportunities for manufacturers to supply durable, low-maintenance products that meet the education sector's focus on long-term value. Integrating antimicrobial technology adds a lasting performance benefit by continuously minimising microbial growth on protected surfaces throughout the product's lifetime.
Smarter Kitchen Tools: How Built-In Antimicrobial Technology Adds Value to Measurement Equipment
Kitchen measurement equipment such as scales, thermometers and timers are essential tools in professional food preparation environments. By incorporating built-in antimicrobial technology, manufacturers can enhance product value with an integrated feature that helps keep product surfaces fresher for longer while supporting durability and long-term performance.
MEBSS : Managing Microorganisms In Veterinary Environments
BioCote® conducted targeted testing against the MEBSS panel, five bacteria relevant to veterinary environments, including MRSA, E. coli, Bordetella, Salmonella, and Streptococcus. Using ISO 22196 methodology, results demonstrated up to 99.98% reduction across all organisms tested, supporting improved surface performance alongside routine cleaning practices.
PEELS : Antimicrobial Performance Testing for Water Storage and Dispensing Systems
BioCote® antimicrobial technology was tested against the PEELS panel, five microorganisms commonly associated with water storage and dispensing systems using ISO 22196. Results showed reductions of up to 99.99% after 24 hours. For manufacturers of tanks, pipework, drainage components, coolers and dispensing units, built-in antimicrobial protection offers a tested and scalable way to help treated surfaces stay cleaner for longer between routine cleaning and maintenance cycles.
Cruise ships keeping microbes afloat
The modern cruise ship is larger than ever before, with more opportunities for microbes to thrive in swimming pools, dining areas, spas, auditoriums and casinos. Fortunately, the industry has become more hygiene-conscious over the years to compensate for the high risk of cross-contamination.
