An innovative antimicrobial coating agent has succeeded in wiping out almost all bacteria that are usually present in classrooms, according to the results of a recent trial.

Contour Casings, a leading manufacturer of LST radiators and radiator guards, and a long standing BioCote® partner, was a lead participant in the study. All Contour LST radiator guards - a product of choice for many education sector specifiers - incorporate the BioCote coating in their 'final finish' as standard. This coating remains effective for the lifetime of the guards.

Lower incidence of microbes exposes children to fewer avoidable illnesses, helping to reduce school absenteeism.
