03 These germs and bacteria are transferred in the simplest of ways, by our hands. Every door handle we operate, every surface we touch, every time we shake hands, harbours the risk of germs and bacteria being transferred, with potentially disastrous consequences. How can we reduce this risk? First and foremost, thorough and consistent washing of hands. But – hand on heart – the potential for improvement in hygiene is still not yet exhausted. If only there were a surface that had an effective and sustainable antimicrobial effect, coun- teracting the growth of germs with no ifs or buts, and which even killed off the germs, significantly reduced the risks of bacterial contamination and the distribution of such. Equip suitable surfaces for upgrading, such as door handles, handles and other points of contact, with CEOSIL the antimicrobial silicone from BIW, and you obtain the desired effect to combat bacterial risk. What is CEOSIL? CEOSIL is a mixture developed by the BIW-Technologie- zentrum on the basis of a high temperature vulcanisation silicone (HTV). The silicone, with its very good flexible material properties, is enhanced by the addition of quali- fied additives to make an antimicrobial silicone. These additives are, unlike in the past, not based on silver ion and thus lead to an extremely effective and sustainable effect. The Institut Hohenstein has, among other things, provided proof that CEOSIL reduces both the Staphy- lococcus Aureus (MRSA) strain of bacteria as well as Pseudomonas within 24 hours from CFU > 400 to CFU < 3 (CFU = colony forming unit). Where can CEOSIL and its bacteria reducing/killing properties be sensibly used? ƒƒ Door handles can be given a cover made from CEOSIL hose ƒƒ Door, window and ventilation seals can be made from CEOSIL ƒƒ Pipelines for water transportation (sanitary) ƒƒ Moulded seals (currently in development) in water mixing taps are made in CEOSILL quality ƒƒ Seals and pipes in the waste water systems are equipped with CEOSIL antimicrobial properties ƒƒ Levers, handles, brackets and other points of contact are sprayed with CEOSIL (currently under development) ƒƒ And much more Now it’s your turn.

Whether in hospitals, care homes or doctor’s practices, in the food industry or in our public and private lives. The specific problems caused by bacterial contamination are taking on increased significance with regard to our health. — MICHAEL HAAS INNOVATION AT A GLANCE Tel: +49 (0) 15162443668
