BactiBlock® will be in FOAM EXPO NORTH AMERICA !

Foam Expo North America, the world’s largest dedicated foam technology exhibition and conference, will once again be held in Novi, Michigan. And BactiBlock antimicrobial additives will be there!
The Show will be held from June 20 to 22 in Michigan. A region that has historically been key in the industrial development of the US. It was also the birthplace of the assembly line and still preserves an important legacy of companies in the automotive, medical components and advanced manufacturing sectors.
Foam Expo will showcase all types of raw materials and equipment used in the manufacture of foam and related products, connecting buyers and manufacturers with different players throughout the foam supply chain. Polymeric foams are key materials in several applications at the industrial level. This is due to its multiple properties, such as its versatility, its high resistance to bending, its insulating capacity, as well as its afordable cost.
In more of these applications it is highly interesting to also add antimicrobial properties to them. The most obvious are the applications in the healthcare sector, where a high degree of cleanliness and hygiene is required. Some examples are hospital furniture or beddings.
But there is also a growing demand for the use of polymeric foams with antimicrobial properties in domestic use. In this way, mattresses, kitchen utensils or upholstery foam, are some examples of products in which the attribution of antimicrobial properties acquires great added value. Furthermore, the adition of Bactiblock will increase material’s lifespan while avoiding the spread of germs.
If you are interested in adding antimicrobial properties to your products, BactiBlock may be the ideal solution for you. Visit our booth at Foam Expo and Adhesives & Bonding Expo North America and speak to our team face-to-face.
