POLYCASA® CAST Anti-Bacteria

Anti-bacteria is the brand name of the Polycasa PMMA CAST sheet, endowed with anti-microbial and fungicide protection.

The additive used is almost colourless, meaning it can be used in all colour references, as well as in clear material.

Polycasa Anti-bacteria is easier to thermoform than standard material, making it ideal for sawing, drilling, printing, milling, mechanical polishing and hot bending.

• Water insoluble, therefore unaffected by prolonged washing.

• Better chemical resistance and easier to thermoform than standard Polycasa material.

• Low migration with temperature — can be thermoformed without modifying its anti-microbial properties.

• Uses colourless additive.

• Mechanical properties are not modified compared to sanitary material.

• Not suitable for application in direct contact with food stuff.

• Evaluated in a biological laboratory using the standard ISO 846:1997.
