SHERISHIELD(TM)

Proven effectiveness under simulated 'real life' test conditions

Sterishield is the result of an intensive and rigorous research and testing programme and tests show it is proven to enhance the reduction of bacterial populations within 12 hours of contamination. A Patent has been applied for: GB 0512194.

The following graphs demonstrate the dramatic rate of decline of the bacteria population on Sterishield compared with standard paint under the same test conditions.

MRSA Chart

MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
A portion of the population carries this bacterium without any issues, however the infection can be spread to vulnerable patients. MRSA has proven to be resistant to Penicillin and Methicillin and strains have created major problems in hospitals where it can be a threat to patients' lives.

E. coli Chart

E. coli
Most strains of E.coli are harmless with the exception of strains such as E.coli 0157 which can cause health problems if ingested in small amounts.

Pseudomonas Chart

Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Highly resistant to antibiotics, Pseudomonas aeruginosa thrives in many different environments and cause disease in susceptible individuals.

Independently tested under simulated 'real life' conditions

All tests were carried out by an independent laboratory using a novel procedure based on the Japanese Industrial Standard 'Test for Anti-microbial Activity & Efficacy' (JIS Z 2801: 2000).

The novelty lies in the development of a 'real life' test procedure created to assess how long bacteria can survive on a paint film surface under ambient temperature and humidity conditions (20°C and 65% RH) for 24 hours.
