Bathing should feel safe, comfortable and hassle-free for every user 🛁

Access Walk-in Baths, part of Gainsborough Healthcare Group, designs walk-in baths for people with limited mobility and for the carers who support them.

Features include low-level entry, wide doors and powered seats.

In bathrooms and care settings, bath surfaces are in regular contact with water, warmth and repeated use, which can contribute to staining, odours and material wear over time.

That’s why Access builds BioCote® antimicrobial technology into its baths during manufacture. Because the protection is integrated into the material, it can’t be washed off or worn away, and it continues working throughout the product’s lifetime.

Antimicrobial technology complements routine cleaning, providing an additional layer of surface protection that helps keep baths looking and performing at their best.

Every hygienic space starts with the right surface.

This Manufacturing Tuesday, we’re spotlighting Lamitech, a leading manufacturer of decorative high-pressure laminates (HPL) based in Cartagena, Colombia.

High-pressure laminates are used across demanding, high-use environments such as hospitals, washrooms, restaurants, gyms and offices. These surfaces are touched, cleaned and re-exposed throughout the day, which can leave them vulnerable to microbial staining, odours and early deterioration.

That’s where integration matters. Lamitech incorporates BioCote® antimicrobial technology into its antimicrobial HPL range during manufacture, so the protection becomes part of the laminate itself.

In independent laboratory testing using ISO 22196, BioCote®-protected Lamitech laminates demonstrated up to a 99.7% reduction in microbes on the treated surface under controlled conditions.

Antimicrobial technology complements routine cleaning, providing an additional layer of surface protection that works continuously throughout the product’s lifetime.

Where are microbes hiding in your washing machine? 🧺

Warmth, moisture and detergent residue make washing machines a welcoming environment for microbes. Some components are more exposed than others:

🔹 Detergent drawer: damp residue can collect in the corners between washes
🔹 Door seal: folds in the flexible seal can trap moisture and lint
🔹 Drain hose and pump housing: standing water can sit in hard-to-reach areas
🔹 Control panel and handle: touched with every load

Over time, microbial growth in these areas can contribute to unpleasant odours, staining and material deterioration.

BioCote® Antimicrobial Technology can be integrated into suitable plastic, polymer and rubber components during manufacture, working continuously as part of the material throughout the product’s lifetime, whilst complementing routine cleaning and maintenance, providing an additional layer of surface protection.

Every week we meet a microbe. This one might be the toughest contestant yet 🦠

Meet Acinetobacter baumannii: an ESKAPE artist that can survive for months on dry surfaces.

It's part of the ESKAPE group – six types of bacteria known for their ability to evade antimicrobial treatments. Their resistance and persistence make them particularly challenging to manage in hospital environments, where frequently touched surfaces and demanding cleaning routines add to the challenge.

But even the toughest survivors can meet their match.

In independent laboratory testing using ISO 22196, BioCote®-treated surfaces achieved a 99.98% reduction in A. baumannii after 24 hours under controlled conditions.

Antimicrobial technology complements routine cleaning, providing an additional layer of surface protection against tested bacteria.

It’s Global Handwashing Day, so let’s talk about one of the most frequently touched surfaces in the building.

Every use of a soap dispenser involves a shared touchpoint. Hand after hand reaches for the same surface, often before washing.

BioCote® has worked with soap dispenser manufacturers to integrate antimicrobial technology directly into their products. Built in during manufacture, our technology works continuously for the lifetime of the product, reducing microbes on treated surfaces by up to 99.99%.

Antimicrobial technology is never a substitute for good hand hygiene. Instead, it provides an additional layer of product protection between routine cleans.

Same sample. One difference.

In this 72-hour antifungal time-lapse, an untreated sample and a BioCote® treated sample are exposed to mould side by side. Watch the square in each dish: mould spreads across the untreated sample, while the treated sample stays clear.

BioCote® antifungal additives are built into materials during manufacture, helping to reduce fungal growth on treated surfaces and keep products cleaner and more durable for longer.

How long can microbes survive on everyday surfaces?

Our Microbial A–Z looks at six common microbes and how long they can persist on surfaces:

MRSA – up to 7 months
Candida albicans – up to 120 days
Aspergillus niger – up to 2 months
E. coli – up to 3 weeks
Salmonella – up to 2 weeks
Campylobacter – up to 6 days

Surfaces can act as reservoirs for microbes long after cleaning. BioCote® antimicrobial technology is built into products at the point of manufacture to help reduce microbes on treated surfaces, around the clock.

🦠 Freaky Bacteria Friday: Klebsiella pneumoniae

Commonly known as K. pneumoniae, this Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium is a member of the ESKAPE group and is particularly associated with hospital and healthcare environments.

One of its most notable characteristics is its prominent polysaccharide capsule, which aids cellular adherence and forms a protective physical barrier. This feature supports biofilm formation on materials such as medical devices and high-touch equipment, helping the bacterium persist in clinical settings despite rigorous cleaning regimens.

This distinction demonstrates why antimicrobial performance must always be interpreted within the scope of the specific organism, microbial structure, test method and conditions assessed. Claims should always be supported by relevant data.

At BioCote®, we take an evidence-led approach to antimicrobial testing, with product claims supported by relevant data generated through independent, third-party laboratory testing against priority pathogens using recognised standards such as ISO 22196.

Good product design solves more than one challenge.

Posturite’s Penguin 3-in-1 Ambidextrous Vertical Mouse is a good example of that thinking in practice.

Its distinctive vertical format, ambidextrous operation and multiple connectivity options give users greater flexibility at the desk. But the design goes further: BioCote® antimicrobial technology is built into the product, providing lasting protection for treated surfaces against bacteria and mould.

For Posturite, incorporating BioCote® adds another layer of performance to an already differentiated workplace product, without changing how it looks, feels or is used.

It’s this combination of thoughtful design and material technology that makes the Penguin stand out.
