Antimicrobial Agion Coated Cabinets Reduce Bacteria and Germs on Stainless Steel Casework Cabinets
Antimicrobial Agion Coated Cabinets use a silver impregnated compound in paint to prevent the spread of bacteria and germs. Very few companies use silver in their powder coat finish, which makes the Agion coating unique. Before the antibiotics were developed, silver was used in sulfa drugs to keep wounds from getting infected. Today, since so many strains of bacteria (like MRSA) are resistant to antibiotics, we’re using silver again to help prevent bacterial growth. Contact with Agion coated surfaces is safe for humans but deadly for bacteria and mold. Stainless Steel Casework cabinets treated with Agion germ fighting finishes keep battling microbes year after year. Agion coating isn’t a substitute for decontaminating commonly touched casework cabinets and work surfaces, but it’s a good backup system.
Agion Coated Stainless Steel Casework Improves Indoor Air Quality
Agion coating is accomplished by spraying electro-statically charged particles of resin onto steel cabinet components. Then the cabinet is assembled using a unique rivet construction. Rivet construction provides flexibility to change cabinet components and ensures all edges of every panel are coated with paint. Each individual cabinet is baked at a high temperature so the Agion powder coating bonds directly to the cabinet’s metal. Electro-static Antimicrobial Agion Stainless Steel Casework limits off gassing of VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) keeping your building’s indoor air quality high. Particularly nasty VOCs like formaldehyde are commonly used in a variety of casework and millwork furniture finishes. These substances are considered carcinogenic and can also cause acute symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and breathing difficulty in sensitive individuals. That’s especially important in a hospital or long-term health care facility where patients with breathing problems like chronic bronchitis or emphysema need the cleanest air possible.
