PaperGard technology provides an integrated solution that gives protection to the paper surface for the life of the product, of particular importance for products used in sensitive environments or that are subject to cross-contamination from multiple handling. The use of anti-microbial paper technology is highly effective against pathogens such as MRSA and E-coli, reducing the risk of build-up of harmful organisms 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Recent testing by an independent laboratory has also shown its viral efficacy against Feline Coronavirus, showing a reduction in viability of 95% within two hours.

Feline Coronavirus and COVID-19 are members of the Coronaviridae family of viruses which cause a broad spectrum of animal and human disease. This group of viruses are enveloped and rely on a protective lipid coating and are amongst the easiest types of virus to deactivate. Biomaster® has yet to be tested against COVID-19 on product surfaces and currently there is not yet a suitable method validated for COVID-19, however the result clearly demonstrates the antiviral efficacy of silver ion technology against a member of the Coronaviridae family.

Gearing seems high but, a post covid surge would possily see this back to 1200 ish, watching in the wings.

Has not been a post here for almost a year.

New build well on the way. Old warehouse down, new warehouse going up and roadworks to new factory going well. Great to see everything going to plan and on schedule. Can imagine 5th machine soon to be given the ok before the 4th machine is in. Just hope they can keep up with the growth of their customers. ( So much potential at tfp )
