Without effective cleaning, door furniture, handrails and other touched surfaces are susceptible to the development of harmful organisms and contaminants. Cleaning regimes depend on personal diligence and are therefore intrinsically unreliable.
MicroClean is a new nano-technology based, photocatalytic coating which counteracts contamination of hard surfaces. It needs no extended curing period at high temperature and destroys organic compounds such as those found in MRSA, C.Difficile, e.Coli, SARS, Listeria, and Salmonella.
When applied to hard surfaces, MicroClean prevents contaminants from growing and eradicates them very quickly. Ultra Violet (UV) light strikes the particles in the coating which, when activated emit electrons. Water molecules nearby are broken down in highly reactive hydroxyl radicals and super oxides, creating a powerful oxidising reaction and breaking down organic compounds such as bacteria into water and carbon dioxide.
The coating continues to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year as long as there is a light to 'power' it. Tests have shown that colonies of bacteria are destroyed within 24 hours of contact. MicroClean can be either factory applied to any of Laidlaw’s diverse range of ironmongery products or spray applied on site to bigger surfaces such as doors and walls.
