Symphony Environmental Technologies developed a range of anti-bacterial and anti-fungal formulations called 'd2p' which can be put into plastic products during manufacturing and which could help prevent the spread of infection in healthcare settings.
d2p (AB) is an anti-bacterial formulation successfully tested
against over 50 common organisms including dangerous bacteria such as
MRSA, E.Coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Pseudomonas and Aspergillus Niger. d2p (AF)additionally inhibits the growth of fungi, bacteria, mildew and algae that
can cause discolouration, staining and odours, and which are a danger to
human health. It can also increase the shelf-life of bread and other
foods, and reduce the need for preservatives, whilst maintaining the
aesthetic and functional properties of plastic products.
For further information see d2p.
