THE POWER OF PROTECTION Introducing BioCote ® Technology

Time , money , heart and soul – any type of construction project requires various types of investment . All the project details are curated to achieve a specified brief and once it ’ s done – we want to reap the rewards of what we ’ ve put together for as long as possible ; we want to build it to last !
For over 25 years , BioCote ® antimicrobial technology has been integrated into a broad range of construction products . Such as wall coverings , floors & carpets , paints , adhesives , door handles , wiring accessories , radiators , worktops , and ceiling systems These products are enhanced with extra advantages , making them resistant to the adverse effects of microbes such as bacteria and mould , which prolongs their overall functional lifespan .
Exploring the effects of microbes on everyday products and surfaces
Microbes , such as bacteria and mould , can be found almost anywhere and when left untreated can multiply , doubling every 4 to 20 minutes . Neglecting proper cleaning procedures and recirculated air can contribute to the spread of microbes from one surface to another . Untreated products can result in discolouration , unpleasant odours , and decreased product quality .
When products have been integrated with BioCote ® they have the power to disrupt the growth and reproduction of these microbes . This means that when bacteria lands on a BioCote ® treated surface , the technology interferes with the enzyme production stopping the microbes from reproducing and replicating .
Built to last !
BioCote ® technology compliments cleaning practices and will work 24 / 7 for the lifetime of the product . Scientific research has shown that materials containing BioCote ® are particularly effective against a wide variety of microbes and can control bacteria and mould .
Products treated with BioCote ® offer many benefits :
• Decrease microbes by up to 99.99 %
• Reduce the potential for crosscontamination
• Prevent mould growth
• Preserve freshness
Scientific research has shown that materials containing BioCote ® are particularly effective against a wide variety of microbes and can control bacteria and mould .
• Extend the product ’ s lifespan by guarding against microbial colonisation and minimising material degradation
Products packed with BioCote ® Antimicrobial Protection
From construction , decorating , and through to fitting – innovative brands are using BioCote ® antimicrobial protection to fulfil project goals by providing products that are not compromised by microbes . These include pipes from Polypipe , wall claddings from BioClad , sealants from Hodgson Sealants , laminate from Abet Laminati , shower products from Mira Showers , paints from HMG Paints Limited , specialist flooring from John Lord and many more products to outfit your home from furniture to kitchen supplies .
* BioCote ® antimicrobial properties do not protect users or others against bacteria , viruses , germs , or other disease organisms . This technology is not a substitute for good cleaning practices .
