Bacteria Face the Final Curtain

PVC strip curtains help to reduce hygiene risk by keeping high-risk areas separate. Teknomek has now added variants with anti-microbial silver ions embedded during the manufacturing process. These properties make the new curtains ideal for the protection for cleanrooms: they block circulation between differently graded zones and prevent the growth of bacteria to further reduce risks of cross-contamination. The tough PVC also acts as a sound barrier, reducing noise transfer between areas.

Sue Springett, Commercial Manager at Teknomek, said: “In providing an additional level of microbial security, our new anti-microbial strip curtains demonstrate you take risk management seriously to MHRA auditors by closing another potential chink in the armour.”

The PVC strips are available in widths of 200mm and 300mm and with thickness options of 2mm/3mm to suit particular use case scenarios. They can be delivered as 50mm rolls or as pre-cut strips, which come with or without stainless steel plates ready to fit to existing hanging systems.
