POLYCASA® CAST Anti-Bacteria

Generic Family: Acrylic, Polymethyl Methacrylate • Supplied by: Polycasa
Anti-bacteria is the brand name of the Polycasa PMMA CAST sheet, endowed with anti-microbial and fungicide protection.

The additive used is almost colourless, meaning it can be used in all colour references, as well as in clear material.

Polycasa Anti-bacteria is easier to thermoform than standard material, making it ideal for sawing, drilling, printing, milling, mechanical polishing and hot bending.

  • Better chemical resistance and easier to thermoform than standard Polycasa material.
  • Low migration with temperature — can be thermoformed without modifying its anti-microbial properties.
  • Uses colourless additive.
  • Mechanical properties are not modified compared to sanitary material.
  • Not suitable for application in direct contact with food stuff.
  • Evaluated in a biological laboratory using the standard ISO 846:1997.
