Inbuilt protection


against germs The new Sanaliving premium range of plastic dining products from Adamo has been launched featuring built-in protection from germs and bacteria. The selection of salad bowls, plates, canisters, food containers and salad servers is manufactured with 3G silver antibacterial product protection from Microban. On untreated products, bacteria can potentially double in number in 20 minutes but Microban technology disrupts its functioning, usually causing them to die within 24 hours. Microban 3G silver technology is fully approved for food contact use - which makes this type of antibacterial protection ideal for incorporation
