Lockers boast bacteria-fighting finish
Antimicrobial Lockers feature a powder-coated finish that inhibits buildup of bacteria, mold and odors on locker surfaces. Locker handles and doors also block spread of microbes to individuals touching surface. Works through powerful silver ions, released when any moisture contacts surface. The ions provide antimicrobial protection from a range of health hazards, including antibiotic-resistant MRSA, which can cause staph infections. Antimicrobial compound is said to be less toxic than ordinary table salt, less irritating than talcum powder and completely inorganic. The compound has been approved for medical devices and food contact applications. Maintains protective coating for the estimated 20-year life cycle of the lockers.
