Naturally
anti-microbial film

Our Safe4Touch antimicrobial film is the perfect solution to protecting many different types of surfaces from micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.  It harnesses zinc pyrithione as its active ingredient which is encapsulated within the film, rather than just applied to the surface. 

The result is —

In short, this ingenious film can be used on any surface – think door handles, public transport seats, classroom tables, canteens, lift buttons, cashpoint machines and shopping trolleys – essentially a multitude of high-traffic touchpoints that are breeding grounds for infection transmission.

The coronavirus pandemic has impacted everyone, everywhere and we’re all adapting to what we call the ‘new normal’ with new rules and processes – even our language is evolving with lockdown, social distancing, self-isolation and the R-rate becoming the all new, ubiquitous parlance.

The science bit…

Whilst antimicrobial products typically incorporate silver agents, this product utilises zinc pyrithione as its
active ingredient and it is encapsulated within the film rather than manifesting as a simple coating on top of the film. As such, the antimicrobial effect is stable and long-lasting. Indeed, when tested independently, the antimicrobial properties were found to be completely unaffected when IP SafeTouch was fully immersed for 1 minute in 3 different solutions of 70.0% ethanol, 0.1% IPA and 5.0% benzalkonium chloride, before being cleaned and dried and then re-immersed for a further minute, with this cycle being repeated 50 times
