Hsinchu, Taiwan, September 9, 2021 - General Silicones (GS), an expert manufacturer of silicone products, shares how its silicone rubber film with antiviral and antibacterial properties is a simple solution for adding protection to exposed surfaces. As a supplier of medical grade silicone parts with over 50 years in experience, GS took on the challenge to support the healthcare industry with new means to easily add protection against viruses, bacteria, and fungi on high touch surfaces.
The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has shown how viruses and bacteria must be prevented from spreading through healthcare facilities as early as possible. Surfaces with active ingredients are a tool of growing importance to help suppress the spread of increasingly resistant and dangerous microbes, as even the most frequent cleaning regimen cannot prevent contamination. Hospitals and healthcare facilities can now apply protective antimicrobial silicone rubber film from General Silicones to high-touch surfaces frequently used by patients and visitors.
Hsinchu, Taiwan, August 19, 2021 - Experienced silicone product manufacturer General Silicones (GS) is proud to share that its antiviral silicone rubber sheets passed the strict ISO 21702:2019 test performed by BOKEN (SGS) laboratories. The examination is one of the most demanding tests to verify the antiviral properties of non-porous surfaces. The confirmation of the antiviral properties neatly adds to the recently announces verification of the antifungal properties of the silicone rubber and the antibacterial properties of the silicone. Using its 50 years of experience in silicone manufacturing, the antiviral silicone formulated by GS prevents the growth of microbes and viruses and reduces their survival time on the silicone rubber surface significantly.
Hsinchu, Taiwan, August 6, 2021 - Experienced silicone product manufacturer General Silicones (GS) shares that its antifungal silicone rubber sheet product line was certified by SGS Hardline Laboratory in Taiwan to pass the ASTM G21 test. With this certification and the previous certification for the antibacterial properties of its silicone rubber, General Silicones offers customers a unique patented solution to use its Compo-SiL® rubber sheets for situations that benefit from the added protection against dangerous microbes.
