Biocote Anti-Bacterial Protection

Believe it or not, the chemical element silver has natural antimicrobial properties that inhibit the growth and spread of various types of harmful bacteria, including E. Coli and MRSA. For many years prior to the development of antibiotics silver was used in areas where the control of bacteria was of utmost importance; in hospitals for example. In fact even today some medical equipment is still made from or contains silver for this very reason.

Recent advances in technology have enabled silver ion containing additives to be added to other products such as paint, which then benefit from these bacteria inhibiting qualities. As well as providing a durable and smooth finish all paint used on our range of lockers contains just such an additive as provided by Biocote©, a company paving the way in antimicrobial technology.
