What is Antibacterial Surface Protection Film?

Our antibacterial surface protection film is a state-of-the-art protective layer composed of transparent cast polymeric PVC of 60 microns. It’s infused with antimicrobial agents and coated with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. This film is specifically designed for surfaces that demand a high degree of hygiene. Whether it’s public areas, agri-food sectors, wet rooms, or hospitals, this film ensures maximum protection against harmful microbes.

a

The Power of Silver Ions

Silver ions play a pivotal role in the antimicrobial properties of the film. When pressure is applied to the film, such as through touch or contact with the skin, these silver ions are activated and released. Unlike some other antimicrobial agents that merely inhibit or block the growth of bacteria, microbes, and viruses, silver ions actively target and neutralize these harmful pathogens.

The mechanism of silver ions is twofold: firstly, they disrupt the essential processes of the bacteria, rendering them inactive; secondly, they prevent these microbes from reproducing, thereby halting any potential spread. This dual action ensures that the treated surfaces not only become free of germs upon contact but remain consistently protected against microbial contamination around the clock.
