It Was Just For Fun... But Seriously.
I saw this post in a Facebook group and fell for it myself… the question was “Why?” There are some products that are useful and some that are not. But does it not depend on the application?
Why did Anti-Microbial Film not take off?
There are so many products that I thought would take off in the last year, are useful or benficial. One in particualar is anti-bacterial vinyl… which is not actually correct.
I misinterpreted this product, it is not anti-bacterial but in fact Anti-microbial which reduces the amound of bacteria than can form on the vinyl. This in turn reduces the amount of viruses that can “grow” on the surface.
We have sold some of this but it has not taken off in the way I expected.

Anti-bacterial Activity
“MaticLUX” 350 ANTI-BACTERIAL FILM offers an antimicrobial durability for 3 years.
It resists to the cleaning procedure for 50 simulated intensive washing cycles for weekly cleaning, 50 weeks of ageing with disinfectant
recommended by OMS against “Corona virus” SARS.
Monomeric PVC Anti Microbial Overlaminate Film (Transparent gloss 80 μ) with antibacterial agents and ultra-clear acrylic solvent adhesive (permanent), laminated on an one-sided clay-coated silicone paper liner (90g/m²). Designed to protect any hygienic sensitive areas, it protects the surfaces for a long time. It easily resists to scratches even in case of application in areas with incessant scraping such as the covering of floors and walls:
- Wet and Hygienically sensitive areas
- Hospital patient and treatment rooms
- Education rooms,
- Healthcare (public & private)
- Pharmaceutical
- Industrial
- Airports
- Railway stations
- Retirement homes
- Food manufacturing
- Fast food
- Swimming pools
- Stadiu
- Laboratorie
- Kitchens
Active variety (ISO 22196): reduction more than 99,99% of microbes (excellent capacity to inhibit growth of a wide range of microbes) combined with good procedures of hygiene and cleaning.
Suitable substrate (Surfaces):
Any kind of furniture (table, chair, bed, walls, windows, doors, door knobs,…).
It resists to the cleaning procedure for 50 simulated intensive washing cycles for weekly cleaning, 50 weeks of ageing with disinfectant recommended by OMS against “Corona Virus” SARS. Very good transparency and flatness characteristics. Excellent Dimensional stability and enhanced image brightness without a disturbing “silvering effect”.
Shelf Life:
2 years when stored in the original packaging between 20°C and 25°C at 50% relative humidity.
The efficiency of TECLUX 350 ANTIBACTERIAL was tested in an ISO laboratory according to the international standard ISO 22196. ISO 22196: 2011 specifies the way of evaluating the antibacterial activity of plastic materials which were treated with antibacterial and other porous surfaces of products.
Our antibacterial pvc was studied in order to reduce for 99,99% the microbes, according to good procedures of hygiene and cleaning.
With these tests, we can confirm that MATICLUX 350 ANTIBACTERIAL resists to:
- Escherichia coli ATCC 8739
- Enterococcus faecalis –ATCC 29212
- Listeria monocytogenes – ATCC 13932
- Klebsiella pneumonia – ATCC 4352
- Staphylococcus aureus – ATCC 6538
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa – ATCC 27853
- Salmonella enteric – ATCC 14028
- Staphylococcus aureus Methicillin resistant – ATCC 33591
- Legionella pneumophila
