Antimicrobial Trunking, how does it work?
Antimicrobial PVCu cable management systems have been available for some years but the need to provide a healthy and safe environment particularly in nurseries, care homes and hospitals has not gone away as neither have the harmful organisms.
The basis of the additive is the use of silver which has been used for centuries as a biostatic agent. When contacted by moisture, an electrochemical reaction releases silver ions. These ions penetrate microbes rendering them unable to function, grow, or reproduce.
Third Party Testing
To ensure our additives are effective and compliant with ISO 22196:2011 ‘Measurement of antibacterial activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces’, periodic testing is undertaken by specialists in the industry. Untreated control samples are submitted with treated items and recent results show that a 99.9% reduction is achieved against E coli and Staphylococcus aureus being two of the most prominent bacterial infections.
Through widespread specification, Centaur has pioneered the use of antimicrobial additives in its grades of PVCu and continues to help control the spread of harmful bacteria in the public sector.
Antimicrobial Tracer
Centaur produce anti-microbial material on site at Redditch.
A tracer is added at the compounding stage. This remains, and can be tested, for the life of the product. The use of a tracer ensures the correct product is fitted to meet customer requirements.
