Poole Waite - Antimicrobial Protective Coatings

2 Poole Waite & Co Ltd is one of the UK’s leading Architectural Ironmongers. Established since 1935, situated in Central London and Bexley, Kent, we specialise in the manufacture, supply, colour coating and finishing processes of quality door furniture, hardware and bathroom fittings. Recent events have highlighted the ever increasing need for hygienic living. As a result we have formulated a range of protective coatings, incorporating the BioCote antimicrobial additives which we can now apply to customers own Ironmongery products as well as hand railing, ventilator grills, steel doors and frames, splashbacks, washroom hardware, lift panels and much more. The protective coating is available as a durable hard-wearing clear coat lacquer, Matt black, Gloss black and Matt white. Other RAL colours are available to order. It can be applied to most metals and is suitable for both interior and harsh exterior use (Performance datasheets available upon request). What are microbes? Microbes are small living organisms only visible with a microscope. They are the oldest form of life on earth and include viruses, bacteria, fungi and mould and are the cause of many human diseases. As an authorised partner of BioCote our antimicrobial protective coatings offer an effective defence against a wide range of microbes (refer to full list on pages 4 & 5). Antimicrobial describes something that can resist the growth of microbes on many types of surfaces including stainless steel, aluminium, brass etc. Whatdo microbes do?
