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

Easier to keep hygienically clean
BioCote® works hand in hand with thorough cleaning practices to give the product around-the-clock protection against unseen microbes, permanently

Safe to use in a variety of environments
The supply of the right antimicrobial additive means your BioCote® protected product can be used as it always has been without risk or concern
How antimicrobial technology works
How antimicrobial technology works
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.
