We can now offer a range of hardware that has been specifically treated to facilitate the prevention and control of bacterial infection. This process is ideal for anything that is powder coated, as well as most moulded items such as grab rails and handles. Standard finish is black but most other colours are possible with anti-bacterial additive in the powder coat.
In terms of industrial hardware, typical situations for products requiring anti-bacterial solutions are bacteria rich environments with human contact; the most obvious being medical, veterinary, food processing, schools and public transport.
These processes are in common use by manufacturers of medical equipment, bathroom equipment, gym equipment, kitchen equipment, TV remote controls and architectural hardware.
The basic properties of using silver and its derivatives to protect and treat infection has been experimented with and recognised for many years – while urban myths have been around for a long time, such as cowboys putting a silver dollar in their drinks canteen for water purification! Today the technology works at a molecular level and can be fused or embedded onto a surface. It can also be supplied as an additive that’s used in powder coating and plastic granules prior to moulding.

Our recently announced 7-081 IP67 stainless steel quarter-turn lock has a wealth of features that ensure its suitability for food processing and electronic clean room assembly areas.
The easy to clean polished and rounded shape eliminates crevices that could trap debris, thus preventing accumulation of dirt and bacterial contamination in conjunction with conventional cleaning methods, including high pressure cleaning. There is a reduced risk of injuries and guaranteed germ free environment within the enclosure. The 7-081 complies with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requirements and features special red silicone gasketing for easy identification.
Additional features include electrical continuity by use of a grounding nut to protect users against static discharge. The wide variety of cams available ensures that there is high application flexibility and optimal fit to frame width.
Locks can be delivered pre-assembled under our Rocfast brand package.
