ANTIMICROBIAL POLYMERS

General Polymers floor and wall systems can be manufactured with an antimicrobial additive. The additive protects the floor/wall system by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew and algae. The antimicrobial additive is effective in both epoxy and urethane products. When incorporated throughout the entire system, the biostatic effects last for the life of the floor or wall system, and will not wash out or become inactivated over time.

Agion® Technology, the company the products at Goldwell we use, offers a broad selection of floor and wall systems which are available with antimicrobial additive. These include systems for decorative and industrial applications.

Antimicrobial polymers fight microbes in three ways:
1. Effectively disrupt their breathing process.
2. Prevent the multiplication of microbes.
3. Disrupt their metabolism.

Areas of application:  pharmaceutical, healthcare, food and beverage, packaging and manufacturing, commercial kitchens, health clubs, assisted living facilities, dormitories, research, veterinary hospitals, animal care and boarding facilities, retirement housing, locker rooms and showers, Detention Facilities, university laboratories, clean rooms.
