The Hastings-based firm says its Bio Trunking Solutions are 99.9% effective against MRSA, Klebsiella Pneumonia, E-Coli and Salmonella, and a host of other bugs.
Silver ion technology is integrated into the cable management system during manufacture. The active antimicrobial agent is mixed throughout the PVC-U before the trunking profile is extruded, giving an even and thorough distribution. Because the antimicrobial is integral to the PVC-U it will not rub off. The system continues to work if the trunking is scratched or knocked, delivering 24-hour protection for the lifetime of the installation.
Bio Trunking Solutions have already been installed in hospital wards and ancillary facilities from Devon to Aberdeen. Most recently a system was installed at The University Hospital of North Tees, in Stockton-on-Tees, which chose Marshall-Tufflex’s Odyssey all-curved trunking. Its curves help repel dirt and aid cleaning.
