There’s more to clean surfaces than meet the eye. Virtually any public area represents a potential breeding ground for microorganisms. Good hygiene and cleaning practices are well recognized as important elements for preventing the spread of these microorganisms.
Safer to touch
Microbes know no boundaries. Good hygiene practices help prevent them from spreading but are not always reliable. Polygiene antimicrobial technology provides additional protection against a broad range of microbes, bacteria, fungi, mold and mildew. By making all types of products and surfaces fresher and safer to touch, Polygiene helps keep various products and surfaces clean and hygienic in environments such as:
· Hospitals and healthcare facilities
· Hotels and restaurants
· Airports, trains and train stations, subways
· Public restrooms and waiting rooms
· Other highly trafficked areas
Non-stop antimicrobial protection
Polygiene antimicrobial treatment offers 24/7 protection and works around the clock without adversely affecting other product characteristics. Polygiene antimicrobial technology is based on the natural ability of silver to inhibit the growth of microbes. The Polygiene silver compound is added during the manufacturing process and Polygiene silver ions are released at the surface, which inactivates the microbes upon contact.
Polygiene is designed to support regular cleaning practices for a wide variety of industrial, commercial, public and residential surfaces including:
· Floors
· Walls and countertops
· Furniture
· Sanitary fixtures
· Electrical fixtures
· Other types of public fixtures
· Hospital and healthcare equipment
Floors
All types of industrial, commercial and residential flooring, including carpeting, can benefit from our antimicrobial technology. Flooring materials made with built-in, Polygiene protection makes it possible to stop microbes, bacteria and fungi in their tracks before ever getting a foothold on floor surfaces.
Walls and countertops
Wallpaper, laminates and paints intended for walls and countertops can be manufactured with Polygiene to keep these surfaces free from microbes. By doing so, Polygiene helps to make entire rooms a much safer environment for those who enter them.
Furniture
All types of components and materials used in the manufacture of furniture for hospitals, restaurants, hotels and other public rooms can be made with Polygiene to achieve finished products that will remain safer to touch. Steel frames, plastic parts, laminates, coatings and upholstery are typical applications with the furniture industry.
Sanitary fixtures
Bacteria, viruses and fungi flourish in areas that usually combine warmth and moisture, such as bathrooms and public restrooms. Unpleasant odors, mildew stains and the spread of bacteria and fungi are therefore common in rooms like these. Polygiene is a proven antimicrobial solution ideal for all types sanitary fixtures, from toilet seats, faucets, fittings, soap and paper towel dispensers and door handles. Polygiene makes visits to these rooms more pleasant while preventing the spread of microbes.
Electrical fixtures
Light switches, switch plates and pushbuttons are all examples of electrical components where microbes make stopovers on their way from one person to another. In addition to components like these, today’s large dependence on electronic products including keyboards, telephones and other handheld devices is one more reason to consider the unique antimicrobial protection offered by Polygiene.
Other public fixtures
Escalator rails, elevator panels, subway handles, door handles, handrails and computer keyboards are examples of products in public environments that can be treated with Polygiene technology.
Hospital and healthcare equipment
In hospitals, infections caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other resistant bacteria have become extremely costly. To help reduce costs to the healthcare sector, many types of electric and electronic medical equipment, including the lighting used in operating rooms, can be made with Polygiene for improved protection against MRSA and similar infections.
