Extruflex STOP-BAC is treated with antimicrobial agents that inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. It provides continuous protection against microbial contamination.
STOP-BAC complies with the International ISO 22196 and Japanese JIS Z 2801 standards to guarantee the highest Antibacterial effect.
STOP-BAC is preventing the development of bacterial niche and their proliferation in sensitive areas.
It is recommended in slaughterhouses, food preparation and food processing workshops, restaurants, hospitals, pharmaceutical laboratories, health centers, schools, industrial and commercial shops, etc…
STOP-BAC PVC offers substantial advantages for workplaces necessitating pristine and bacteria-free environments.
This specialised PVC formulation possesses the capability to eradicate 99,9% of bacteria, viruses, and various microbial organisms upon contact, thereby effectively curbing the transmission of diseases and illnesses.
This attribute assumes particular significance within workplaces susceptible to disease transmission or any form of contamination that could compromise both human well-being and the company's reputation.
Approximately 13.6% of global deaths, are attributed to bacterial infections, ranking them as the second leading global cause of mortality.
Extruflex addresses infectious risk by integrating an antibacterial agent into its soft vinyl to create antibacterial PVC.
Our antibacterial flexible PVC products effectively curtail the transmission of bacteria and viruses, helping prevent outbreaks of Salmonella, E-Coli, and Campylobacter.
This ensures elevated hygiene standards and safeguards for both your staff and customers.
The adoption of antibacterial PVC is strongly encouraged to enhance workplace hygiene, benefiting both employees and customers alike.
Antibacterial flexible PVC is ideally suited for environments prioritising cleanliness and sterile workstations, including hospitals,restaurants, and healthcare facilities.
Extruflex takes a proactive approach to combat workplace disease and infections by integrating an antibacterial agent into its soft vinyl, effectively eliminating 99,9% of bacteria upon contact.
This innovative antibacterial technology is integrated into the vinyl matrix itself, allowing the surface to retain its antibacterial properties over an extended duration.
The vinyl matrix disrupts the bacteria's outer membrane, resulting in bacterial eradication upon contact with the PVC.
Importantly, this antibacterial agent is seamlessly incorporated during the manufacturing process, ensuring continuous effectiveness without the need for reapplication, providing long-lasting antibacterial protection that remains active for many years.
Even after multiple wash cycles, the antibacterial agent remains fully active, ensuring lasting protection against all forms of bacterial growth in your workplace.
STOP-BAC is compliant with the ISO 22196:2011 standard.
Its efficiency has been tested over a period of 2 years with 99.9% bacterial reduction.
Swabs from general day-to-day surfaces are gathered and then added to Petri dishes and exposed to temperatures of 37°C with relative humidity greater than 90%.
This allows the bacteria to multiply and grow. After 24 hours, the bacterial colonies are counted and recorded.
Then a second batch of swabs are taken from STOP-BAC PVC exposed to similar conditions and areas as the first test surfaces. These are then also exposed to temperatures of 37°C with relative humidity greater than 90% for 24hours.
The bacterial colonies are then counted and compared to test one to compare the STOP-BAC PVC's effectiveness.
In the STOP-BAC tests conducted in the past, 99.9 % of the bacteria had been eliminate.
This same test was conducted over a 2 year period in order to make sure that the effectiveness of the STOP-BAC PVC was still effective over this time period.
The results showed that STOP-BAC worked effectively, killing 99.9% of all bacteria, over this time period.
