Peerless plastics & Coatings Update
New plant As part of our on-going commitment to providing the very best product and service possible we have invested heavily in our facility over the last couple of years. At the beginning of September we completed another major investment project on our coating line. This has seen a new purpose built UV system installed, together with a separate new UV curing system for “taller” components. Our new UV system installed on the main coating line will enable us to coat and cure a wider range of products, improve efficiencies and lower energy usage, which is in line with our constant commitment to reduce our carbon footprint. Direct to Media Update -New Coatings We are proud to announce the launch of our new Anti-Microbial Coating. This is a UV cured hard coating which offers our usual abrasion and chemical resistance – with the addition to imperishably halt the development of, and kill over 99% of E-Coli, MRSA, Salmonella, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (Mould) and Campylobacter. There are many applications for this coating in all areas of industry, such as; Healthcare, Veterinary, Dentistry, Food Processing and Aerospace to name a few. With our large format coating capabilities we are able to apply this coating to sheets, moulding, components and surfaces of many sizes.
Practical examples of the application of this coating include:
Door handles and push plates. Toilet partitions Hospital bed headboards Food processing and food preparation areas
Effectively if there is a flat/low graduated plastic substrate surface which would benefit from Anti-Microbial properties we can apply it. As the coating is hard wearing due to its anti-abrasion properties it will not wear away under day to day conditions even in high traffic areas of any facility. Furthermore the coating offers excellent chemical resistance meaning that harsh cleaning chemicals will not damage the surface, which is a great benefit to printed/decorative surfaces.
