Surface Guard 29

Surface Guard 29 Copper Antimicrobial Film is a translucent film that incorporates the properties of copper within the film to resist growth of micro-organisms on its surface for long lasting performance. Copper alloys are the only solid surfaces registered with the EPA as an antimicrobial public health product. Copper has been used for its antimicrobial properties for centuries, in a vast array of uses from plumbing to healthcare. The process involves the release of copper ions (electrically charged particles) when microbes are introduced to the surface from either airborne sources or direct contact. The copper ions prevent cell respiration and disrupt the cell membrane, thus inhibiting their growth.
