Hospitals and Care Homes

With hospital acquired infections on the increase, including highly resistant superbugs like MRSA, cleanliness in hospitals and care homes is a continuing cause for concern. Recent Government initiatives aim to get on top of this problem but there is one area where a solution has already been found.

Up to now there has been nothing to provide long term protection of furniture and surfaces from antibiotic resistant bacteria. Now, a new biocidal wood lacquer, Hygienilac, could provide a breakthrough in helping prevent bacteria from proliferating on furniture and surfaces.

Developed by Kettering based Premier Finishes, a specialist coatings company, It is the only product of its kind that can provide long term protection against antibiotic resistant bacteria, including MRSA, for the lifetime of the lacquer - which could be as long as 10 years.

Hygienilac is believed to be the first biocidially proactive lacquer to be produced in the UK and it has been independently certified by one of the most respected microbiological labs in the UK, Bodycote Lawlabs in Birmingham.

So when you are next planning a refurbishment in your hospital or care home, specify Hygienilac wood lacquer for all your furniture and fittings.
