Antimicrobial Wall Cladding Myths – Busted! Part 6

Myth 6. Antimicrobial hygienic wall cladding damages human health and the environment 

The silver present in BioClad cannot leach or actively leave the material, therefore making it impossible to negatively effect human health or the environment.

If it was possible for the silver to escape, a human or animal would have to consume a huge quantity over an extended period for it to make them ill.

What’s more, the antimicrobial properties last the lifetime of the product so do not need replacing, It also helps to prolong the lifespan of the material and stop degradation. Therefore, BioClad has a positive effect on the environment by reducing the disposal of material to landfill.

Myth 7. Antimicrobial is not proven or tested.
