Where hygiene is a priority, we can now offer a range of cable management systems with antimicrobial properties.
By treating PVC-U with a silver-based material the Bio range of perimeter trunking delivers ongoing antimicrobial properties that prevent 99.9% of harmful bacteria growth.
And, because the Marshall-Tufflex Bio trunking solution is integral to the PVC-U material, there is no reduction in effectiveness of the trunking throughout its life - even if scratched or damaged.
Microbial organisms can also cause product deterioration, discoloration and bad odours and antimicrobial treatments help to prevent these effects and provide an extra level of protection when combined with normal cleaning procedures.
Two tests, one for MSRA and one for Klebsiella Pneumoniae, were carried out in accordance with ISO 22196:2007 which is a quantitative test – i.e a Bio sample and a non-Bio sample were exposed to a known quantity of bacteria under laboratory conditions. After 24 hours, the quantity of bacteria still present was measured. In both cases the survival rate of the bacteria on the Bio sample was less than 0.1% or, to put it the opposite way, it showed a greater than 99.9% kill rate.
