HOW THE ANTIBACTERIAL VARNISH WORKS

• The antibacterial varnish used to coat packaging and labels is designed for basic hygiene and it creates a sense of security. This varnish is provides an opportunity to give yourself and your employees, partners and end users long-term protection against the chain of transmitted infections that occur when viruses persist on the surfaces of products.
• According to available data, the COVID-19 virus can survive on paper packaging for up to 48 hours. Antibacterial varnish destroys the viruses that reach the packaging or labels.
• In order for the varnish’s antibacterial properties to take effect, it is sufficient to place it in an environment that is illuminated and contains oxygen. Thus, the varnish is practically always active, and it is “idle” only in total darkness. When it is exposed to light, it will perform its antibacterial job again.
