Decontaminating adhesive

Interest of self-decontaminating surface adhesives

Self-decontaminating surface materials appear today as relevant solutions in the perimeter of the clean room.
The NF S90-700 published in 2019 thus provides reference texts in the field.
Several trials have been carried out recently in French clinics.
The old available repository (ISO 22196) left room for inappropriate claims such as
"Bacteriostatic", "bacteria resistant", "bacteriorepellent", etc. which covered disparate realities unsuited to a better quality of hygiene.
AFNOR published in April 2019 a new standard putting this quality back at the center of the debate:
This standard to which MetalSkin® technologies has contributed along with other players in microbiology, regulation, hygiene, bio-statistics and industry, is intended to become a new quality management tool. increased hygiene.
It is intended to be combined with the cleaning / disinfection of hands and objects, as a reinforcement and complement, just as the anti-locking of the wheels reinforces and complements the action of air bags and seat belts on a vehicle.

Metalskin a leap in surface hygiene

Created from solid recycled copper, MetalSkin medical® is a coating that can be applied to a very large number of substrates. This adaptability to the material multiplies the possibilities.
Copper is a powerful antibacterial harmless to humans and particularly suitable for the eradication of bacteria, microbes and other germs and viruses.
