Peerless Plastics & Coatings has won Plastics Industry Award for their MicroGuard™ Anti-microbial range of protective, hard coatings, winning the Materials Innovation Award 2021.
Improve Plastic's Antimicrobial Properties and Chemical Resistance
In announcing the Materials Innovation Award, Judges stated the MicroGuard™ Anti-Microbial project “as an exceptional piece of development for a demanding application”.
In addition to Anti-Microbial properties, these coatings make plastics more sustainable by improving surface hardness and
chemical resistance, allowing plastic products to stand up against day to day wear & tear and cleaning regimes, extending their useful life.
“
We are very pleased to have won this national award and gain industry recognition. This award belongs to everyone at Peerless Plastics & Coatings and I am very proud of our team who have worked extremely hard over the last couple of years, servicing our customers across many areas of industry.” said Peter Llewellyn-Stamp, managing director.
“
Within this MicroGuard™ Anti-microbial range we now have an Optically Clear hard coating, together with a Matt hard coating and a specialist Anti-Fog/Anti-Microbial coating. Having formulated this range of coatings and proven their performance against a variety of bacteria and viruses we have developed new applications and worked with customers in the UK and Europe on a wide range of projects where superior surface performance is required.”
