Battling Bacteria with Superior Timber Coatings The Ilva Technofinish Acrylic Urethane Antibacterial System
The coatings industry is constantly advancing and Superior Timber Coatings consistently pioneers the path forward with its motto, “Coat with Confidence”. It’s not just about enhancing the aesthetic appeal or safeguarding the wood; it’s also about introducing revolutionary features that cater to modern needs. Enter the Ilva Technofinish Acrylic Urethane Antibacterial System.

The New Benchmark in Antibacterial Coatings
When it comes to combating bacteria on surfaces, few products can claim the exceptional efficiency of the Ilva Technofinish Acrylic Urethane Antibacterial System. It has demonstrated a staggering reduction in the growth of two common, yet formidable bacteria: S. aureus and E.Coli. Within 24 hours of contact, the system has showcased a reduction rate of 99.99% or greater. These aren’t just figures pulled from thin air; the system has met the stringent JISZ 2801-2010 method requirements and stands in compliance with the internationally recognised standard ISO 22196-2011. All these claims have been meticulously verified by Meriuex Nutrisciences in 2022.

S. aureus and E.Coli: An overview
S. aureus, or Staphylococcus aureus, is a common bacterium that can lead to a variety of infections, some of which can be severe. On the other hand, E.Coli, or Escherichia coli, is a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines. While many strains are harmless, some can cause serious food poisoning. The presence of these bacteria in areas that need to maintain a high standard of hygiene is a major concern. By achieving such a substantial reduction rate, the Ilva Technofinish System addresses a significant challenge.

A Solution Tailored for Critical Environments
Where does this system fit into the bigger picture? Think about health industries with hospitals and clinics, where sterile environments are paramount. Consider commercial kitchens, where food safety is non-negotiable. The ability to coat surfaces that are frequently exposed to these bacteria presents a game-changing proposition for these industries.
This isn’t a standalone product. The Ilva Anti Bacterial System can be seamlessly integrated into any of the Ilva Acrylic Urethane 2 Pack and Water Based range. This adaptability ensures that the antibacterial system can be sprayed onto diverse surfaces like timber, MDF and timber veneer, providing flexibility without compromising on the antibacterial effect.
