To meet the ever-increasing demand for antimicrobial surface protection, Formica Group has launched the Formica Laminate Antimicrobial Collection, a series of 20 well-loved laminate designs now available in the United States and Mexico with BioCote technology to guard against odor- and stain-causing microbes.
The collection uses BioCote, a silver-ion-based technology that has been used safely for more than 20 years. Embedded directly into the surface, BioCote offers protection throughout the entire product warranty for defense against odor- and stain-causing microbes and is approved by the FDA for use in food manufacturing, processing and handling environments.
In testing, the Formica Laminate Antimicrobial Collection inhibits the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria on the surface after 24 hours. The collection also significantly prevented odor-causing mold and mildew growth over the 28-day exposure period.
The Formica Laminate Antimicrobial Collection is available in 20 colors from solids to patterns and woodgrains, including the most in-demand Formica Laminate colors such as Dover white, neutral twill and pecan woodline.
