How Antimicrobial Technology Works
PureHandle® contain silver ions that prevent the growth of germs. The silver destroys the cell membrane of the germs and therefore blocks cell respiration and cell ingestion. Cell division stops; the germ dies. Due to the multiple mechanisms of action, development of resistance to the treatment used is virtually excluded. On the contrary, its effectiveness against multiresistant microorganisms.
Benefits
Our Antibacterial Technology is based on globally trusted Silver Ion Additives. Once manufactured into a surface, PureHandle® Antibacterial Technology will offer lasting protection from bacteria, including superbugs such as MRSA and E.coli. Our proven Anti-mould Technology will minimise the growth of all types of mould, and is safe for use in plastics, paints, coatings, fabrics and many other material types to reduce the risk of unsightly and potentially harmful growths. PureHandle® Antiviral Technology makes a product effective against viruses, such as the prevalent H1N1 influenza virus and coronaviruses. Like all of PureHandle’s Antimicrobial products, it is perfect for use in hygiene conscious environments such as hospitals, schools and care homes.

PureHandle® treatment is highly effective due to the fast action of its antimicrobial properties. Hardware with this surface is thus especially suitable for use in medical and nursing facilities, e.g. in hospitals, medical centres, pharmacies, care homes, nurseries, schools, institutes or public buildings.

Tested Efficacy.
PureHandle® products contain silver ions which are embedded in a carrier system of ceramic glass. They form an active part of this material and prevent the growth of germs such as virus, bacteria, algae and fungi. The silver ions destroy the cell membrane of the germ. This stops respiration and nutrition of the cells, so preventing cell division. The surface remains effective even when cleaned at regular intervals.
