The microbes that cause the common cold, impetigo and more serious infections in adults and children live latent on inanimate objects for far longer than people think and grow at alarming rates.

Safe to Touch is a unique coatings system designed to protect any paper based product from contamination of unwanted micro organisms 

Safe-to-Touch (StT) is  added to print finishes including sealants, varnishes and coatings at the time of manufacture.

Its antimicrobial properties are clinically verified* and guaranteed to last for the lifetime of the print treated product. StT has been press room tested under all print conditions and paper stocks.

During intensive live scenario testing, StT presented no negative impact on print finishes, colours, packaging hygiene, paper durability or the machinery used in the production processes.

These tests by the print industry highlight StT as being the only commercially viable way for manufacturers and brand owners to prevent the spread of viruses, moulds and bacteria via their products and without passing significant costs to the supply chain. This includes life threatening  MRSA, Salmonella, E coli and Campylobacter

It is guaranteed to provide antimicrobial protection for the lifetime of the product which are  sold into health services, care homes, nurseries and schools and to all environments providing products and services to the general public including the most vulnerable members of our communities.
