Epoxy coatings protect from washdown
Burke Industrial Coatings reckons its new Steel Plus range of epoxies provide packaging and processing machinery with excellent resistance to harsh CIP sanitation and other corrosive chemicals.
By inhibiting the growth of a broad spectrum of bacteria, this epoxy paint/coating system protects and preserves various types of surfaces.
Highly durable and corrosion-resistant, Silver Bullet's active ingredient is its namesake: silver, a safe and natural antimicrobial with proven success in many applications.
Rigorous laboratory studies subjecting Silver Bullet-coated equipment through intense test conditions prove that the coating's antimicrobial properties can withstand a wide array of chemical and temperature extremes.
Silver inhibits reproduction, interrupts metabolism and disrupts cell wall functions of many moulds, yeasts and bacteria.
Harnessing the power of silver in its ionic form, Silver Bullet's antimicrobial compound has been proven to provide microbial efficacy within hours, and able to maintain optimal performance for years.
