Antibacterial Technology Paint Information

Many of our lockers have an anti-bacterial powder coated finish which provides protection against harmful bacteria. This anti-bacterial technology paint is used by most manufacturers, and is therefore often referred to with many names. Here, we have outlined the different names for this powder coating process and the benefits.

ActiveCoat

ACTIVECOAT is a hard wearing anti-bacterial powder coating developed to ensure the cleanest hygienic standard possible. Independent tests have found that there is a 99% reduction of E.Coli and MRSA. The anti-bacterial technology lasts the entire life of the locker. Although the coating is a strong germ killer, it is 100% safe to humans. Activecoat also tackles MRSA, Aspergillus Niger, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, and Streptococcus.

Thanks to the powerful Activecoat protection, Probe lockers are perfect for use in schools and other educational environments where a high volume of young people, who are susceptible to catching bugs, will be. Gyms and leisure centres are another ideal location for Probe Activecoat lockers as they self clean against bugs that can be passed around through sweat etc. Changing rooms are a popular place to house Probe Activecoat lockers, as they offer durability, cleanliness and practical storage space. These lockers are usually used to store clothing, bags and personal effects due to the sturdiness of them and the trusty active coat protection.

BioCote

BioCote antimicrobial technology is incorporated at the point of manufacture and offers a constant protection against a wide range of bacteria, moulds, fungi and others. It has been proven that storage lockers treated with BioCote powder coating have 94% reduced bacteria on their surface.

Once applied the antimicrobial protection provides continual protection for the lifetime of the locker. The coating will not affect the aesthetics of the product or have a negative effect on performance. It will however provide a cleaner and more hygienic storage area.

Elite Guard

Elite Guard is an anti-bacterial powder coating which provides an effective solution to fight against bacterial contamination for the life of the locker. Elite Guard has been independently tested and found to be 99.9% effective against MRSA and E.Coli. It has also shown to exhibit zero growth for other fungi and moulds.

Elite Guard anti-bacterial powder coating is ideal for the healthcare and food industries, as well as those users requiring stringent hygienic environments. Such a layer of protection for your lockers ensures an effective secondary support to existing cleaning practices and assists in the fight against bacterial contamination.

Germ Guard

Germ Guard active Technology paint is a synthetic coating that contains anti-bacterial chemicals which prevent bacteria from infecting and reproducing on the coated surfaces. Germ Guard lockers therefore reduce the risk of cross-contamination and avert the spread of diseases such as MRSA and E.Coli. Germ Guard also effectively fights against viruses, fungi and organic air pollutants.

Apart from eliminating 99% of germs, it also prevents germs transferring to skin that comes into contact with the locker. The germs that might already be present on your hand are attracted to the germ guard coating and are eventually destroyed. Germ Guard is, therefore, effective at reducing the risk of infection from highly touched surfaces.

Germ Guard coating is applied at the point of manufacture and will last the lifetime of the locker. With its superior anti-bacterial protection, lockers with Germ Guard are ideal for school environments, hospitals and the food industry.
