At the request of the Dutch healthcare sector, Recoat® started the AM project (Anti Microbial) in February 2019.
Recoat® started looking for a solution against various bacteria that occur in hospitals and nursing homes, among others.
Recoat® has developed a clear water-based coating against, among others, MRSA, E. Coli and Legionella, based on silver ion technology with a permanent AM effect.
After the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we worked 24/7 on a solution to combat this virus with the above-mentioned coating. We succeeded in this objective!
Since last week, all AM products have been tested and approved by an independent laboratory against international test standards, the ISO 21702: 2019.
This AM Protector® technology meets all requirements and guidelines and can be found in various products from the Recoat® product portfolio.
The first products on the market are the AM Protector® & AM Cleaner®:
- Easy to apply by cleaners and maintenance workers
- Apply with a spray bottle and aerosol
