AGC Flat Glass Europe, formerly Glaverbel, has introduced its new AntiBacterial Glass to the market. AntiBacterial Glass kills 99.9% of bacteria and stops the spread of fungi in the fi ght against hospital caught infections. The glass eliminates micro-organisms as soon as they come into contact with its surface. The glass’s antibacterial action is based on silver which involves diffusing silver ions into the upper layers of the glass: the ions interact with bacteria and destroy them by disabling their metabolism and disrupting their division mechanism. The glass can be used for all kinds of surfaces, from glazing to wall coverings and mirrors.
