AQS BioClean Antimicrobial Film

AQS BioClean offers antimicrobial film as a coating which can be placed over any substrate. The material is resistant to the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mildew, which makes it a popular choice for industrial applications where cleanliness is a priority. By design, antimicrobial film fights the propagation of harmful bacteria and other biological contaminants. These films provide a barrier that limits the transmission of harmful microbial agents between humans and equipment.

What Are Antimicrobial Films?

Antimicrobial film is a top-coat layer that can be added to the surface of any number of materials, including adhesive materials such as labels and tape. The film contains a powerful and safe bacteria-blocking agent called Agion, which is produced by the combination of silver ions and zeolite.

Agion is a natural solution that prevents the growth of unwanted bacteria by preventing bacterial cell multiplication. The solution is safe to touch, non-toxic, and non-irritating. When the silver ions are paired with zeolite, Agion is able to stop cell metabolism and growth, which helps to stop the transmission of biological contaminants.

Antimicrobial Films Features

The use of antimicrobial film offers valuable benefits to a wide range of situations. The film can be easily placed onto almost any surface and remains resistant to both bacteria and wear over time. There are many benefits to using antimicrobial film, including:

Ability to fight and reduce the spread of bacteria and other biological contaminants
Added safety for workers, customers, and products
Compatible with a wide range of surfaces
Resistance to water and wash
Effective for use across a range of temperatures
Non-toxic and safe for the environment
Long-lasting performance
Durable and tear-resistant

Antimicrobial Films Industry Applications

The spread of bacteria, mildew, and mold can be dangerous to both people and products and the transfer of microorganisms can often occur very quickly, making it essential to take any possible precautions that may reduce or remove microorganisms from shared surfaces. One of the simplest and most effective way to prevent the spread of pathogens is the use of antimicrobial film. As such, these films see use in industries such as medical, food and beverage, HVAC, technology, appliances, and more. Some of the most common applications for antimicrobial films include:

Covering frequently used and shared surfaces, such as countertops and desks
Additional coating on protective tapes and labels
Protecting communal building materials, tools, or other shared equipment
Enhancing insulation solutions with antimicrobial properties
Preventing biological contaminant transmission in HVAC systems
Lining cleanroom equipment such as touch screens, surgical trays, surfaces, and supplies/equipment
Packaging lining for medical equipment and pharmaceuticals
Covering shared keypads, switches, and touchscreens on appliances and equipment
