Available in Vetobac® VBA99 antimicrobial metal

VBA99 antimicrobial metal kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses and is set to be the new standard for hygienic metal surfaces.

Independent lab testing by the University of Southampton has proven VBA99 to kill 95% of Covid-19 within 10 minutes of contamination. In addition, superbugs such as MRSA, E-Coli and Norovirus are also effectively and rapidly killed by contact with VBA99.

Lifetime protection - no coating
Unlike plated or coated finishes, VBA99 is a copper-based metal material. There’s no surface coating to wear-off, so even vigorous cleaning doesn’t compromise effectiveness.

Tarnish-free copper blend
VBA99 maintains its pristine finish and does not oxidise or discolour like copper or brass does. The lightly brushed finish co-ordinates well with stainless steel on non-touch surfaces.
