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.
