04 TROVEX ACTIV:ION

Wherever food is being prepared,

excellent hygiene is essential.

Activ:ion’s unique silver ion properties inhibit microbial growth on walls and ceilings. Its power lasts for the life of the product - even with just standard cleaning methods.

Activ:ion also offers unbeatable resistance to impact, spills and stains. This virtually seamless system prevents cross-contamination and leaves microbes nowhere to hide.

Changing rooms, locker rooms and

shower rooms offer a warm,

welcoming environment for bacteria

-unless the walls are clad with Activ:ion.

Activ:ion has been proven to outperform other wall finishes many times over - with standard cleaning methods (see page 12 for test results).

What’s more, its sleek finish and wide range of colours open up a host of visual possibilities.

When the health of patients is at stake,

there’s no excuse for compromise.

Activ:ion is one of the most powerful antimicrobial PVC claddings available. It’s ideally suited for walls and doors in healthcare environments, where bacteria breed quickly and circulate freely.

Activ:ion has been proven in the most demanding health environments, such as operating theatres and other infection-controlled areas. It comprehensively outperforms other wall finishes including stainless steel, reducing viable microbes by up to 99.9%, including dangerous bacteria like Streptococcus faecalis, Salmonella typhimurium and MRSA.

>Efficiency Results

Results showed that Activ:ion reduced the incidence of CFUs (‘colony-forming units’ or ‘viable cells’) by at least 87%, with some microbes reduced by as much as 99.9%.

>Timeline

Activ:ion’s proactive formulation reduces viable bacteria by 80% in just 15 minutes, and over 99.9% after two hours. The continuous activity means that you always have full protection.
