August 25, 2005 Technology Provides Plastics Products Disease Fighting Protection Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx News)--Polygiene technology incorporates silver
ions into contact surfaces of plastics and other products where they attack
all bacteria and viruses.
As part of its ongoing pursuit to provide clientele with a safe as well
as comfortable environment, the Hilton Milan has outfitted the bathrooms
of its 319 suites and executive rooms with toilet seats made using Polygiene®
technology. Developed by Perstorp AB, a world leader in niche specialty
chemicals and materials markets, Polygiene is an antibacterial and antiviral
technology that breaks the transmission path of disease by killing bacteria,
yeasts and viruses on contact. Its effectiveness has been proven against
a range of pathogens including Escheria Coli and the pervasive MRSA superbug.
Moreover, products incorporating Polygiene are the first known to kill
the SARS virus on contact.
With already vast and growing numbers of people engaged in continental
and intercontinental travel, the potential for the rapid spread of infections
is constantly increasing and the bathroom and toilet facilities of hotels
and hospitality venues are frontline transmission points. Even after thorough
cleaning, bacteria and viruses can survive for long periods in the humid
environment of a hotel bathroom, where these harmful micro-organisms can
be transmitted from guest to guest and among staff. Transmission can result
simply from touching fittings such as toilet seats, dispensers, sanitary
bins, light switches, door handles and handrails.
Polygiene technology is based on the incorporation of silver ions into
products. Silver is a natural element well known for its ability to purify
and to protect against disease and infection. The technology provides
for a continuous migration of silver ions to a product’s contact surface
from where they attack all bacteria and viruses. The process is invisible
and remains active throughout the lifetime of the product, even when damaged
or worn, unlike coatings or surface treatments. However, Polygiene is
not a substitute for good cleaning and hygiene, it reinforces these practices.
