New film combines anti-microbial & anti-graffiti properties

MacDermid Autotype has launched an innovative new version of its proven and widely used SIGMAGraF inkjet printable film, for use in graphics displays, point of sale and floor graphics.

Called SIGMAGraF UVjet AM, the new film offers a unique combination of properties, with a tough anti-graffiti surface and stable ink primer layer giving excellent colour rendition and image resolution.  Just as importantly, SIGMAGraF UVjet AM incorporates Microban® anti-microbial technology, which inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew, making the new film ideal for use in applications including walls, doors and other surfaces in hospitals and medical centres, leisure clubs, restaurants, cruise ships and even caravans.

SIGMAGraF UVjet AM is constructed from a high quality, dimensionally stable, textured polyester base layer, onto which a specially formulated, UV-cured hardcoat surface is chemically bonded.  The Microban technology is embedded evenly within the hardcoat structure, so that its anti-microbial properties last for the working life of the film, and enable the material to be used in areas where protection is required from bacteria that include Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aurous (MRSA), E-coli 0157, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp.
