Materials Technical Information & Infection Control

Meditelle anti-microbial vinyl�s and framework incorporate an infection proof additive which is effective at reducing the spread of bacteria such as E coli and MRSA.

Vinyl

All Meditelle vinyl is suitable for use in high risk Infection Control areas. It contains an antimicrobial additive to provide long-lasting effectiveness even after regular cleaning. Independent laboratory tests show that it is effective against the spread of MRSA, E coli and other bacteria on its surface. Clostridium Difficile can not multiply on the vinyl surface under normal aerobic conditions.

Stain Resistance

All Meditelle Vinyl coated fabrics are hydrophobic and do not absorb water or retain dampness and can be completely dried after washing. Resistant to urine, mild acids/alkalis, drinks and beverages which can be easily wiped off.

Quality
Conforms to BS5790 part 1 : Type 2: Grade X : 1996 and ISO7617-1 : 1994E

Flame Retardancy
Inherently flame retardant. Conform to DOE FTS No 3 Source 5 BS5852 : 2006 Section 4 : Ignition Sources 0 and 1 ; Clause 11: Ignition Source 5 BS7176 : 2007 Medium Hazard BS. EN1021-1 Part 1;EN1021-2 Part 2 : 2006 (ISO8191-1 : 1987 and ISO 8191-2: 1988) BS5852 1990 : Section 4 IMO Res A 652 (16) EASA.CS925.853(a) App F, Part 1 (A) (i and ii ) � as C.A.A.8

Framework

Meditelle�s framework is finished using a powder coating that incorporates an ingredient to prevent the growth of bacteria, mould and fungi. This powder coating effectively inhibits growth of bacteria such as MRSA and E coli. Microbial efficiency is ensured as the ingredient is uniformly distributed throughout the coated film to ensure long term performance for the life of the powder coating.

Framework Technical Information

Powder coatings have undergone microbiological laboratory testing for antibacterial performance using the JIS Z 2801:2000 Industrial Standard method against the two most widely encountered and problematic organisms:- Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA strain) and Escherichia (E) coli. With both Micro-organisms, at least a 3-log (i.e. 99.9%) reduction in population was seen compared to an unmodified control.
