Make commercial paints and coatings antimicrobial
Israeli company Bio-Fence claims the intensive field trial on its innovative antimicrobial technology, Pentagon, has been successful.
Held in Milouoff, one of the largest ready-to-eat poultry production sites in Israel, the trial demonstrated superior results for Bio-Fence technology compared to alternatives. Milouoff found the technology to have clear benefits over existing antimicrobial solutions and to be safe, potent and rechargeable.
The trial involved monitoring the performance of an epoxy floor coated with Bio-Fence antimicrobial technology compared to a commercial silver ion coating and a designated control area. Samples were collected by Milouoff QA teams and sent for analysis by the independent Israeli Institute for Food Microbiology.
The results showed a significant 3–4 log reduction of Total Count and Enterobacteriaceae presences on the area coated with Bio-Fence, compared with the area coated with silver ion and the control coatings.
Bio-Fence technology converts commercial coatings and paints to potent antimicrobial surfaces that are highly active, safe, low cost and regenerable.
Applying Bio-Fence technology reduces the presence of hazardous pathogens in production environments and minimises the danger of food contamination.
