BioGuard

Benefits:

The drip tray is the most unsanitary part of a water cooler. Water is constantly collecting in the drip tray and most people do not empty or clean the drip tray unless it is full. This can lead to unwanted bacteria and viruses building up in the drip tray. The dispensing area and spout can also be areas of unwanted bacteria growth. These bacteria or viruses can easily spread to drinking cups or other parts of the cooler. The press buttons are touched by so many people and can lead to bacteria growth as well. With our anti-microbial coating, you can be assured that the drip tray, dispensing area, spout, and press buttons all remain bacteria free all the time.

• Certain parts of the water cooler, such as the drip tray, dispensing area, spout, press buttons or press paddles have been treated with a unique anti-microbial coating using the BioGuard technology.
• This BioGuard technology is injected into the ABS material through a complex technique during the injection molding process creating an anti-microbial coating which has been tested to prevent bacteria such as Escherichia coli from forming on its surface.
• Unlike many other anti-bacterial coatings, BioGuard will not be affected by heat. It will not affect the strength of the given plastic. It will also not cause the plastic material to become discolored over time.
  • This technology has been tested to be safe and non-toxic according to EPA standards.
  • This technology will prevent viruses from remaining on the treated surfaces.

How It Works:

BioGuard is a soluble glass containing anti-microbial metal ions.

Glass is generally considered to be a material with high chemical inertness due to its strong network structure. It is possible though, to lower this chemical inertness by continuously altering its structure.

Glass also has another interesting property which retains metal as ions. We have combined this property along with our unique anti-microbial technology enabling the glass to have a low chemical inertness by retaining anti-microbial metal ions. With the presence of water or moisture, the glass with BioGuard will release metal ions gradually to function as anti-microbial material. This happens as Ag ions with positive charges are drawn toward microbes with negative charge and disturb their electrical balance causing their cell wall to burst and extinguish. It also can cause the Ag ions to bond to microbes inhibiting the enzyme activity and multiplication of microbes causing them to be destroyed.
