Reputable international testing methods

Working with an impartial testing partner, we commission antimicrobial testing to measure the level of performance an antimicrobial product exhibits. The testing quantifies the ability of a product to reduce odor causing, staining and material degrading microbes, which guides marketing claims about a product’s performance and backs up existing claims for treated articles.

Proven Antimicrobial Product Protection

At BioCote® our partners and clients have come to rely on the quality and efficacy of the antimicrobial additives we supply to deliver the proven antimicrobial product protection. To ensure the additives meet those high expectations at all times, we apply stringent quality control parameters and test protocols prior to shipping.

Stringent quality control checks of the additive’s particle size, moisture content, visual appearance and active substance concentration are carried out to ensure that only additives that pass all criteria will be sent to customers to integrate into their products, delivering optimum antimicrobial protection.
