Arjowiggins Germ-Free Creative Papers

The Arjowiggins anti-microbial surface treatment prevents the transmission and propagation of bacteria and viruses on the surface of the paper

Developed in response to the global pandemic, this new antimicrobial solution from Arjowiggins incorporates Biomaster ™ a silver-based antimicrobial technology, to proactively inhibit the growth of harmful microbes for the intended lifetime of the product or up to 10 years!

Arjowiggins says the surface treatment is particularly beneficial where papers are handled by multiple people or where there is a risk of microbial propagation, in hygiene critical environments such as in hospitals, classrooms and hospitality venues. It also offers added value for numerous applications, including packaging, delivery notes, medical prescriptions, restaurant menus, business cards and security papers for passports, ballot papers or cheques.
