THE DECORATIVE PANELS GROUP CLEANS UP WITH BIOMASTER ANTIMICROBIAL FINISHES

Decorative Panels have offered antimicrobial products within their portfolio for over 8 years- but now , as can be imagined , the interest for these has accelerated .
To cater for this demand , a much wider offering than before will be rolled out across all of the dp-group companies using sheet materials and edgebanding which will offer the highest possible product protection independently tested to ISO 22196 .
Partnering with Addmaster ( UK ) Ltd , who with their Biomaster product range , pioneered the use of antimicrobial additives , Decorative Panels are able to offer products with surfaces that are able to inhibit the growth of bacteria by up to 99.99 %.
As a trade laminator of sheet materials for the furniture and allied industries , Decorative Panels Lamination can offer an extensive range of surface designs incorporating this technology laminated to many different substrates . These substrates can then be converted either in house at sister companies dp-furniture and dp-components or externally to fellow manufacturers in many different market areas .
Based on silver ion technology , recognised for centuries to have no harmful effects , Biomaster is already extensively used in medical , food and water applications .
One of the most important questions customers should always ask of suppliers of antimicrobial products is “… how long does the protection last ?”- the answer for Decorative Panels using Biomaster additive is 24 / 7 for the lifetime of the product . It contains inbuilt antimicrobial product protection that does not wear off or leach out .
The potential areas of application for such products are as can be imagined vast and are not limited to the healthcare environment . With all areas of everyday life now demanding increased levels of hygiene , Decorative Panels utilising Biomaster Antimicrobial finishes provide the ultimate in protection that never degrades .
