Q: Is antimicrobial protection really necessary?

A: The spread of serious illnesses and diseases is causing increasing concern everywhere. Good hygiene practices are the best way to help prevent such spreading, but are not entirely reliable – not even at places where awareness is very high. Therefore, antimicrobial protection such as Polygiene can play an extremely important role as a complement to regular cleaning and hygiene practices.


Q: How long does the Polygiene effect last?

A: The type and amount of Polygiene additive is carefully selected for each specific product to ensure that the Polygiene effect will remain active throughout the normal lifespan of the product.

Q: How can we verify that Polygiene’s antimicrobial effect really works with our products?

A: All products manufactured with Polygiene undergo testing at independent test institutes to verify the effectiveness of the antimicrobial solution.

Q: What about environmental issues?

A: Only extremely small amounts of silver are used, which makes Polygiene an environmentally friendly technology. Furthermore, Polygiene is an inorganic additive and therefore environmental issues relating to the use of organic antimicrobial additives do not apply to Polygiene.
