SwanbioTM offers a range of hygiene products that use BiomasterTM technology to inhibit bacterial growth on surfaces. The products include a laundry wash, fabric spray, clear lacquer, and hand moisturizer. They are intended for use in places like hospitals, nursing homes, hotels and food establishments to help reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses. The BiomasterTM technology uses silver ions that disrupt bacterial cell structures and functions to prevent growth. Testing has shown the products can reduce common harmful bacteria by up to 99.99%.

Simple and effective solutions assisting
in hygiene control for home, industry
and personal care

2. hygiene solutions for home, industry and personal care
Swanbio™ is a range of products for use both in industry and the home where the control of
hygiene and reduction of cross-infection potential is required.
Ideally suited to a wide range of applications were hygiene is important, including hospitals, care
homes, hotels, hospitality venues and catering establishments, the proven Biomaster™ technology
is safe and easy to use.
The product is NOT a disinfectant or cleaner. It is designed to offer surface protection. Once in
place it inhibits bacterial growth and therefore reduces the risk of cross contamination. It is
designed to be used in conjunction with existing cleaning regimes.
Biomaster™ technology is used across a wide
range of applications and materials including paint,
handrail coatings, pens and paper.

Stopping the spread of infection
Hospital acquired infections
Over recent years there has been an increasing concern over Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs).
These infections are caused by a wide range of bacteria. There is a particular concern about the
number of cases of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). This is a strain of
Staphylococcus Aureus that has built up resistance to Methicillin – the strongest type of Penicillin
available. It has also been shown that bacteria such as MRSA can survive up to 38 weeks or even
longer on contaminated surfaces.
Food and hygiene
Bacteria are very easily spread from surface to surface by hand-contact and other methods. This is
particularly relevant to food-preparation areas where a large number of potentially lethal bacteria can
be present such as E.coli.
Across the healthcare, food and hygiene sectors,
antimicrobials are used to combat the growth of
fungi, yeasts and molds.

Biomaster™ technology
The active ingredient in Biomaster™ is silver, which has been used in its purest form for
many centuries to prevent the growth of bacteria.
We have incorporated this technology into the Swanneck pen.
The silver ions have three different modes of action that stop bacteria growing. They:
• Bind to the cell surface, disrupting the cell wall and preventing cell growth
• Prevent the bacteria from producing energy
• Interrupt cell DNA, preventing cell replication and new cell formation
The active silver is slowly released which means it
has maximum long, term effectiveness. Biomaster™
can also be processed at temperatures up to 600oC
without losing its antimicrobial properties.

Biomaster™ Swanneck Pen
The Biomaster™ antimicrobial Swanneck Pen is ideal for educational and healthcare
environments.
Used extensively in the healthcare, medical and food hygiene sectors, Biomaster™ antimicrobial
technology is proven to reduce the growth of bacteria by up to 99.99%. It is a safe, effective and
permanent solution for reducing the risk of cross infection – it lasts for the whole of the lifetime of the
pen.
Regulatory Biomaster™ registrations include:
• BgVV (BfR) – Federal Institute for Health Protection of Consumers
and Veterinary Medicine
• BPD – Biocidal Products Directive
• EPA – Environmental Protection Agency
• FDA – Food and Drug Administration
• Class 1 Medical Devices

Laundry wash
In conjunction with the normal laundry process use
the fabric wash alongside normal detergents,
imparting antimicrobial efficacy into the fabric fibers.
Proven to inhibit the growth of major harmful bacteria
including MRSA, Salmonella, E Coli, VRE, Campylobacter
and the Virus for winter vomiting, Noro Virus.
Simply dose in with the main detergent during washing, the
antimicrobial action is washed into the fabric of the laundry,
and remains there in between washes. Dose at 10ml/kg of
laundry. 5L drum will wash 500kg of laundry.

7. hygiene solutions for home, industry and personal care
Fabric spray
Applies a bacteria inhibiting additive into the fibres of soft furnishings
such as seating, carpets, to inhibit the growth of major harmful bacteria
including MRSA, Salmonella, E coli, VRE, Campylobacter and the virus
that causes winter vomiting, Noro Virus.
Ideal for chairs and furnishings in care homes, waiting rooms, wherever the
opportunity exists for cross contamination.
Sprayed evenly over soft furnishings, textiles, the liquid will dry within 15-20
minutes, leaving an antimicrobial residue in the fibres. One 1000ml trigger
spray will cover 10m2, equivalent of 34 average chairs.
Repeat use every three months for high traffic areas.

Clear lacquer
Bacteria inhibiting, fast drying hard lacquer.
Applied direct to hard surfaces, metal, plastic, wood, the lacquer inhibits all
major harmful bacteria including MRSA, Salmonella, E Coli, VRE and
Campylobacter.
Ideal for high traffic areas that are frequently touched, it reduces the opportunity
for cross infection.
Sprayed evenly over hard surfaces, the lacquer will dry within 20 minutes to
form a clear hard antimicrobial barrier. 1 can will cover 1.5m2, equivalent of 15
door handles and surrounding areas/push panels, or 21 touch screens.
Repeat use every three months in high traffic areas.

Ideal cleaning regime
Laundry Wash
Simply add to the detergent at a rate of 10ml per kg of laundry when washing laundry. The
antibacterial agents will set to work immediately and most importantly will remain within the fabric of
the textiles between washes continually providing bacterial inhibition.
Clear Lacquer
Degrease and disinfect hard surface. Allow to dry. Then apply the lacquer with an even spray, from a
distance of around 20-30cm, as if applying a thin layer of paint. The lacquer will take approximately
20 minutes to dry. Once dry it forms an antibacterial coating that will remain in place between 3-6
months depending on amount of abrasive activity on the surface. Surface can be wiped using a
standard surface cleaner if required. Note the spray contains a propellant so ensure good ventilation
during application.
Fabric spray
Ensure surface is clean and dry before application. Spray evenly over the surface so the material
feels very slightly damp. Allow to dry, which will take approximately 15 minutes. The antibacterial
agent will then fix itself into the fabric and continually provide bacterial inhibition. Reapply every 3
months in medium to high traffic areas such as seating in waiting rooms etc. 3-6 months for low
traffic areas such as curtains. Not suitable for leather and vinyl surfaces.
