Quinn Plastics Introduces Quinn CAST Beauté and Anti-Bacterial Product to CAST Range
Quinn Plastics has introduced two new products to its well-known CAST range. Quinn CAST Beauté is designed to better withstand chemicals than standard PMMA cast material, while Quinn CAST Anti-Bac has special additives to ensure it is resistant to bacteria.
Quinn CAST Beauté has a special formulation that makes it more resistant to chemical attack, while also ensuring that it is as easy to thermoform as standard PMMA material. Quinn CAST Beaute also maintains its resistance even under conditions causing stress to the sheets such as when they have been laser cut or drilled.
According to Judith Sanz, Quinn Plastics manager, Barcelona, Quinn CAST Beauté’s unique formulation makes it the perfect material for use in cosmetic display units, as well as in screen printing (when under stress).
Quinn CAST Beauté can be produced upon request in any colour reference from transparent to opaque and with smooth or matt surfaces including the possibilities of final product design. Produced at Quinn Plastics’ Barcelona plant, Quinn CAST Beauté is available Europe-wide.
Quinn CAST Anti-Bac is endowed with anti-microbial and fungicide protection, which makes it ideal for use in places where extreme hygienic conditions are required such as medical and laboratory facilities, as well as in gyms, spas, hotels, sanitary applications and public rest rooms.
Quinn CAST Anti-Bac’s special additive, which blocks the development of micro-organisms, means that the material can increase the level of hygiene in specific areas, eliminates the development of odours and dark stains on material, and is long lasting even after prolonged washing.
The additive is also colourless, which means it can be used in all colour references as well as in clear material without modifying the final aspect of the sheet. In addition, Quinn CAST Anti-Bac has better chemical resistance and it easier to thermoform than standard Quinn CAST material.
“Plastics additives and components can provide the perfect environment for growing microbial and this development of micro-organisms results in unpleasant odours and dark stains on the surface of the sheet. As such, Quinn CAST Anti-Bac’s formulation is ideal for surfaces where good hygiene protection is vital,” commented Judith Sanz.
Quinn CAST Anti-Bac has been evaluated in a biological laboratory using the standard ISO 846:1997 standard.
Quinn CAST Anti-Bac is not suitable for application in direct contact with food stuff.
