BactiBlock® will exhibit in Dubai at the UTECH MEFPU Expo 2023

After the first edition held in June 2022, this year UTECH – Middle East Foam & Polyurethane Expo returns from September 5th to 7th, and BactiBlock® will be there!
UTECH MEFPU Expo is the most important event in the Middle East region dedicated to the foam and polyurethane industries. This event offers visitors the opportunity to see the latest novelties, products and solutions from key suppliers, as well as to learn from leading experts during conferences.
In this region, we can find the use of polyurethane in a wide variety of sectors. From insulating products for construction, coatings, furniture padding, insulation for refrigerators, mattresses, shoe soles… the examples are almost endless. This is due to the excellent properties of this material: excellent strength-to-weight ratio, insulation capacity, high durability and extraordinary versatility, just to name a few.
However, polyurethane-based products are likely to be affected by the growth and reproduction of bacteria and fungi under certain conditions of temperature and humidity during use and storage. These kinds of situations will irremediably lead to colour changes, unpleasant odours and lastly the breaking of materials.
In this sense, the incorporation of the BactiBlock® additives to polyurethane products provides effective and long-lasting protection against the action of microorganisms and the related consequences in materials. The increase of materials lifespan and prevention of the reproduction and spread of pathogenic bacteria will also be ensured.
If you are interested in protecting your polyurethane products with BactiBlock® and you are going to attend UTECH MEFPU, do not hesitate to visit our stand S43 and meet with one of the members of our team.
