Antimicrobial flooring employs new bactericidal technique

摘要

Bolidt Synthetic Products & Systems, a Dutch developer of thermosetting synthetics such as flooring systems, has carried out tests with independent Dutch research organisation TNO on antimicrobial flooring systems employing a new bactericidal technique that kills bacteria by electrocution. Using a patented mechanical AM-Inside technology, the bacterium is killed as soon as it comes into contact with the floor surface due to the inherent difference in electrical charge between the floor and the organism.
