Using a formula based around silver ion technology, Boss Bloc eliminates 99% of bacteria and is the perfect product for stopping the growth of bacteria on print.
Within the Boss Bloc range, there is OPP film, available in matte and gloss, as well as wide format pressure-sensitive film available in matte. Another benefit is its durability. It is built to last the lifetime of the product it is added to. Therefore, users do not need to frequently replace the film for continued anti-bacterial protection, all they need to do is clean it as they usually would.
Martin Evans, Vivid’s Managing Director said, ‘It’s something we’ve been putting research and development into for a while, with an extended effort over the last few months. We’re aware that many of our customers serve sectors such as leisure, hospitality, health and education, which will benefit greatly from an anti-bacterial laminating film. Now more than ever, we need to be conscious of hygiene and protecting ourselves as well as everyone around us. Boss Bloc can be a great contributor to that.’
Manufactured in Europe as well as tested and verified by ISO, it has been proven to be effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Therefore, the scientific consensus is that it will work against other bacteria in the same way.
