What is crucial in Mila’s GRIP™ CleanTouch is that the handle is manufactured from a polycomposite ABS, which means the BioCote additive permeates the whole product rather than being applied as a lacquer afterwards. This makes the technology much more effective.

Is your supplier letting you down ?
At a primary school in Hertfordshire which had been extended and refurbished, they equipped one of the new classrooms with a range of products which were protected with BioCote antimicrobial technology. As well as the new Mila GRIP CleanTouch handles, this included everything from desks, chairs, carpets and bookcases right through to light switches, water dispensers, radiator covers and even the paint on the walls. Alongside this, they equipped another classroom with standard, unprotected alternatives and then they took swabs from all of the items over a period of time so that they could compare the levels of bacteria which were present in both.

Mila chose BioCote, which is the world’s leading antimicrobial technology supplier, as its partner on GRIP™ CleanTouch, and we have worked closely with them not just in the development of the product but also in a major research project designed to demonstrate just how effectively BioCote treated products actually work.

antimicrobial, products which contain the ions are protected against surface growth of bacteria, mould and fungi – even the likes of MRSA, Salmonella, E-coli and H1N1 flu. When the micro-organisms come into contact with the silver, their ability to reproduce is inhibited and they die.
To demonstrate just how effective, Mila took part in a fairly remarkable study before the launch in what BioCote have called ‘the world’s first antimicrobial classroom’.

We’ve all read the scary stories about how our laptops and TV remotes contain more bugs than a toilet seat, so it’s hardly surprising perhaps that a whole industry has built up in recent years to provide protection from all those invisible germs – particularly in public spaces used by vulnerable groups.

At the recent Build Show, Mila launched GRIP™ CleanTouch – the UK’s first BioCote treated anti-microbial espag handle. This is a truly innovative handle which actively inhibits the growth of potentially harmful microbes on its surface. It is therefore ideal for use in environments such as hospitals, schools and care homes where there is lots of potential for germs to spread by repeated touching of contaminated areas.
