Disinfection vs Antimicrobial Coating (AMC)?
Traditional disinfectants represent a reactive approach to cleaning—“this surface is contaminated, so we need to clean it.” They last only seconds because a disinfected surface only stays that way until contact with another infectious agent.
They are often incorrectly applied, as well. Sometimes the disinfectant isn’t used for a long enough time to properly disinfect a surface, or the person doing the work may miss part of the area that is supposed to be cleaned.
Antimicrobial coatings, on the other hand, continuously destroy microorganisms. They last between 3-12 months, depending on the surface treated. They represent a proactive strategy—“we want to protect this surface from becoming infected.”
And when professionally applied by trained technicians with the kind of high-tech equipment System4 IPS uses exclusively, application errors are eliminated. AMC particles completely and thoroughly coat exposed surfaces and remain there.
For 24/7 protection, there’s only one choice—an antimicrobial coating.
