What is Germ Guard Active Paint?

Since the COVID-19 Pandemic the world is being extra careful when it comes to contact points, especially in high traffic environments such as public buildings, hospitals and schools, etc. During the Pandemic we were advised to wash our hands frequently, not to touch your face, use hand sanitizer and wear masks where needed – so why should our products be any different?

The majority of our products are used numerous times daily, take our Lockers and Workbenches for example – both of these ranges have a high touch surface rate.

 

So what is ‘Germ Guard Active Paint’?

In simple terms, the paint is a synthetic coating that contains chemical properties which prevent bacteria from infecting and reproducing on the surface of our products. This special coating is reduces the risk of cross-contamination and the spread of diseases such as MRSA and E Coli and has shown to effectively fight against viruses, fungi and organic air pollutants.

Stop the spread of COVID and other harmful bacteria within your space.

 

‘How does it work?’

As well as eliminating 99% of germs, the coating also prevents germs from transferring to people when they come into contact with the surface. Any germs that might already be present on your hands are attracted to the germ guard coating and are eventually destroyed. Germ Guard is therefore, effective at reducing the risk of infection from frequently touched surfaces.

 

How is it applied to our products?

The major benefit of Germ Guard Active Paint, is that it can last the lifetime of the product and offers superior anti-bacterial protection for decades.
