The miracles of science™

More than ever before, the public is concerned about the cleanliness of the surfaces we come in contact with, especially those in high-touch areas such as door handles. That’s why ASSA ABLOY Group companies (leading global manufacturers and suppliers of locking solutions) went in search of a coating to help them offer added safety and security to their marketplace.

Designed for areas where clean is critical, Alesta® AM powder coatings with AgionTM antimicrobial is a safe, effective technology to combat the growth of bacteria. Agion is dedicated to providing safe, natural antimicrobial solutions based on silver, nature’s antimicrobial. Powder coatings made with this silver antimicrobial compound will protect surfaces from microbes such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, mold and mildew. The silver ions are slowly released from the treated surface inhibiting the growth and spread of microbes.

As part of its promise to provide innovative solutions to their customers, ASSA ABLOY Group companies offer their MicroShieldTM technology, which attacks organisms in three ways – by attacking the cell wall, interrupting metabolism and preventing reproduction. MicroShield technology is used to service the healthcare and education (K-12 and universities) markets.
