Benefits of Antimicrobial Technology

Antimicrobial additives are extremely diverse and control microbes via many different means. When used in the manufacture of products they create surfaces and materials inhospitable to microbes such as bacteria and mould. Find out more about how BioCote® additives work.

Benefits of BioCote® Antimicrobial Technology

Microbes can compromise the quality, performance and cleanliness of your product. By integrating BioCote® antimicrobial technology into your material, your products will be protected 24/7 from microbes such as E. coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella or the superbug MRSA. Simply and cost-effectively introduced during manufacturing, BioCote® antimicrobial additives are guaranteed to provide high levels of antimicrobial protection.

Our proven antimould technology can minimise the growth of all types of unsightly mould and is safe for use in plastics, paints, coatings, fabrics and many other material types.

Protected vs Unprotected Surface: 2h Time Lapse

UNPRPOTECTED SURFACE

On an untreated surface, the bacteria thrive and reproduce considerably.

PROTECTED SURFACE

On a BioCote® treated surface, the bacteria cannot survive and reduce by up to 99.5%.

Reduce

microbes by up to 99.99%

BioCote® works continuously to reduce the amount of microbes on a treated surface

Proven

against mould growth

BioCote® creates products upon which unsightly and unpleasant mould such as Aspergillus niger cannot survive

Reduce

cross-contamination

A cleaner product means less microbes to transfer, ultimately reducing the potential for cross-contamination from one surface to another

Stay

fresh for longer

Less microbes means reduced potential for staining and unpleasant odours, making your product stay fresher for longer periods

Extend

a product’s lifetime

Lasting BioCote® surface protection against microbial colonisation also minimises material degradation, ultimately extending the lifetime of the product
