JASPER, IN (July, 2010) – National Office Furniture recently introduced the Antimicrobial Silver Ion Protection on its finished wood products including tables, casegoods and seating. Beginning July 1, 2010, antimicrobial silver ion technology comes standard at no upcharge on National’s wood finishes.
Inhibiting the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria, such as E.coli and Staph, as well as other microbes, silver ion technology provides a continuous protective antimicrobial surface. Tests have shown that on unprotected surfaces, bacteria have the capability to double in number every 20 minutes. Mitigating the effects of this rapid escalation, the antimicrobial silver ion technology embedded into our wood finish inhibits bacterial growth by 99.94%, keeping surfaces cleaner, longer.
Ideal for any space and organization, this extra level of product protection is especially suited for the high traffic, public areas in healthcare and education environments.
“From sustainability to quality and price point to reliability, at National, we constantly strive to add value for our customers any way we can. Infusing antimicrobial silver ion technology into our wood finish is one more way to ensure they receive exceptional product performance from National. We are pleased to offer this extra level of product protection to the marketplace as standard and at no additional cost,” says Angie Schuch, Director of Product Line Management, National Office Furniture.
