Anti Microbial protection Hydroline and Kristall Topp with Steritouch

Anti Microbial protection Hydroline and Kristall Topp with Steritouch

Teknos’ range of interior wood finishes are now available with added anti microbial protection, providing additional reassurance in applications such as healthcare, education, nursery, childcare, kitchens and washrooms.

Applied to internal doors, mouldings and fittings, Hydroline clear lacquer with SteriTouch® and Kristall Topp white and opaque finishes with SteriTouch® help combat bacterial growth, mould and fungi on sensitive surfaces where hygiene is important.

SteriTouch® Technology

SteriTouch® contains silver, which has a long established use in sterilising and infection control. When bacteria are present on the coating surface, the silver ions in the paint disrupt the bacteria’s cell structure, preventing cell replication and killing the bacteria itself.

The silver additive is dispersed throughout the coating film and efficacy is not affected by scratches or abrasion. Also, the anti bacterial properties are unaffected by cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, or common detergents, so surfaces can be wiped clean without any reduction in performance. 

Independently Tested

Hydroline clear lacquer with SteriTouch® and Kristall Topp with SteriTouch® are independently tested to ISO 22196/JIS Z 2801:2000 international Standards. 

In the test, coated surfaces are inoculated with common bacteria then incubated at 35oC for 24 hours. A sterilised polyethylene film is used as a control surface.  The bacteria population is evaluated at the start and end of the test.
