Ericson® Perma-Kleen™ anti-microbial wiring devices provide a new and innovative approach to controlling microbial growth by incorporating anti-microbial additives that remain stored in the polymer providing continual, long lasting protection. Inhibiting the growth of harmful and potentially deadly microbial contamination can finally be achieved 24/7 utilizing Ericson® revolutionary embedded anti-microbial protection. Embedded anti-microbial additives are resistant to high pressure hose down and continue to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi, even when nicked or scraped, as additional anti-microbial additives bloom to the surface. This is not a surface treatment. Micro-organism growth is inhibited and after a short period of time, they can no longer be measured by standard laboratory equipment. Perma-Kleen™ anti-microbial wiring devices deliver exceptional protection against microbial growth even on hidden, hard to clean surfaces. Independent testing reveals the ability of these devices to inhibit the growth of escherichia coli, gram (-) and staphylococcus aureus, gram (+) delivering long lasting benefits to manufacturers beyond traditional cleaning methods.
