The market for hygienically safe products is growing quickly due to social awareness of the risk of microorganisms. Consumers are quite interested in new products with antibacterial features; they raise the bar for the quality and hygiene features of all of these types of products.
The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has also increased awareness of safety and sanitation in the kitchen. As items that are used multiple times each day, kitchen products are often exposed to moisture and/or humid environments. This exposure creates the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and can generate cross-contamination by moving from surface to surface.
We handle pots and pans daily in our homes when we touch fresh food for cooking and others kitchen utensils. The cookware handle is the only part of the pot that the user interacts with during cooking. For this reason, it must remain clean and sanitized. It is on the wave of this new need that F.B.M. has decided to innovate offering the market a unique product with antibacterial properties.
What is F.B.M. Active Shield?
F.B.M. Active Shield is the first line of cookware accessories with a compounded antibacterial agent that inhibits the growth and proliferation of bacteria.
It is a new material developed by F.B.M., which makes it effective against microbial growth and kills bacteria on the product treated . Thanks to its special formulation, F.B.M. Active Shield can stop microorganisms from attaching to and growing on cookware handles (ISO 22196).
F.B.M. Active Shield keeps the handle clean and sanitary, improving the quality of life of consumers, and the impact on the environment by minimizing the diffusion of bacteria.
With F.B.M. Active Shield you have a new weapon in the ongoing battle against harmful microorganisms.
What really makes F.B.M. Active Shield different?
It contains an additive that is inserted during manufacturing. The new compound is called Active Shield since it offers a protective barier to the handle and it contains a special antibacterial agent: an integrated active ingredient which makes it effective against microbial growth.
F.B.M. Active Shield, thanks to its special formulation can kill more than 99.999% of bacteria on handle’s surface and consequently ensure antibacterial safety for handling. Its antibacterial effectiveness is tested according to International Regulation ISO 22196:2011.
