Antimicrobial Silicone Sheeting – 60° Shore A – MicraSil®
MicraSil® – The proactive Antimicrobial Silicone Rubber, safeguarding against contamination by bacteria, fungi, and algae.
ISSUE: The growth of bacteria, fungi, and algae in and around rubber seals, gaskets, and sheets poses a significant food safety risk. Furthermore, microbial growth on rubber surfaces can result in unpleasant odors, discoloration, and the development of mildew and slime, ultimately leading to surface deterioration that drastically shortens the lifespan of components.
SOLUTION: MicraSil® Silicone Rubber, offering microbial protection, is indispensable in the medical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage processing industries.
SO HOW DOES IT FUNCTION?
- Bacteria or microbes come into contact with the rubber component.
- Bacteria absorb the free silver ions on the rubber’s surface.
- Silver ions dismantle the bacteria/microbes by breaking down their cell walls.
- Silver ions hinder the growth of microorganisms and deter them from contaminating or colonizing the surface.
ADVANTAGES OF MICRASIL®:
- The free silver ions on the rubber’s exterior remain active even after numerous washes.
- Silver ions are released in areas difficult or impossible to reach with cleaning agents (e.g., hairline cracks in seals or gaskets), suppressing bacterial growth.
- Reduced downtime, minimized production loss, and lower maintenance expenses.
- FDA, EPA, and EFSA have approved the MicraSil® additive.
- No taste, no odor, non-toxic, non-leaching, and non-corrosive.
- Temperature Resistance: Up to 200°C.
- Independently tested and proven to instantly destroy MRSA, E-coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter, etc.
- The additive is mixed during manufacturing and remains effective for the product’s entire lifespan, unaffected by scratches, bumps, or general wear and tear.
- MicraSil® can be supplied as gaskets, sheets, seals, extruded sections – essentially any form that can be molded, extruded, or calendared.
