The effectiveness of any anti-microbial in prohibiting the growth of microorganisms is dependent on the type of additive selected as well as its presence in sufficient amounts on the surface of the product. To demonstrate the bacteria fighting effectiveness of the EHOB® PVC and PVC/PU blend materials, they were subjected to an Agar Plate Test inoculated with ten (10) microorganisms commonly found in healthcare facilities.  Unlike topical treatments, which may lose their effectiveness after cleaning, the antibacterial properties of EHOB’s formulas remain active throughout the useful life of the product.
