EPA registered antimicrobial copper surfaces substantially reduce bacteria loads no matter where they are deployed – clinics, schools, health clubs, public restrooms, home kitchens, bathrooms, and even on pens and cell phone cases. Antimicrobial copper is a class of copper-based alloys that continuously kill harmful bacteria 24 hours a day. These attractive, durable and easy to maintain surfaces represent the only class of EPA-registered solid surface materials that actively kill bacteria.
