If you’ve never heard of antimicrobial copper, then get ready. An effective touch surface material that kills greater than 99% of bacteria within two hours of exposure, antimicrobial copper beats other materials such as stainless steel, because it continuously kills bacteria, never wears out, and is safe to use. The KME Plus® range offers colored alloys “backed by scientific evidence,” including red, yellow, and grey tones that give unsurpassed antimicrobial protection “without compromising on the creativity of design.”

Avoid Touch Contamination with Antimicrobial Colored Alloys

For healthcare environments, the KME Plus® range means that hospitals and other healthcare facilities can improve their safety: “More recent research, simulating touch contamination, shows that bacteria are rapidly inactivated in less than 10 minutes.” Replacing fixtures, fittings, and other touch surfaces with antimicrobial copper decreases the spread of infections. Available in strips, sheets, plates, discs, rods, tubes, and ingots, KME Plus has the solution for virtually any healthcare application.
