DESCRIPTION
ImagePerfect™ 2830-211 Defense is a functional laminate with an antimicrobial additive that has
been specifically designed for protecting surfaces in a wide variety of environments
ImagePerfect™ 2830-211 Defense is a functional laminate containing a highly-effective additive that
offers protection from micro-organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Whilst
antimicrobial products typically incorporate silver agents, this product utilizes zinc pyrithione as its active
ingredient and it is encapsulated within the film rather than manifesting as a simple coating on top of the
film. As such, the antimicrobial effect is stable and long-lasting. Indeed, when tested independently, the
antimicrobial properties were found to be completely unaffected when IP Defense was fully immersed for
1 minute in 3 different solutions of 70.0% ethanol, 0.1% IPA and 5.0% benzalkonium chloride, before
being cleaned and dried and then re-immersed for a further minute, with this cycle being repeated 50
times. In accordance with ISO 22196, the antimicrobial properties of IP Defense demonstrate
antibacterial activity of >99.99% after a contact time of 24 hours. This has been substantiated with
testing against specific bacteria that include Escherichia Coli (E. Coli), Staphylococcus Aureus (Golden
Staph), Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), Salmonella, Listeria, Klebsiella
Pneumoniae (K. Pneumoniae), Enterococcus Faecalis (E. Faecalis), Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and
Legionella Pneumophila. In accordance with ISO 21702, the antimicrobial properties of IP Defense
demonstrate antiviral activity of 74.30% (1.3 log10 TCID50) on human coronavirus HCoV-229E after a
contact time of 24 hours (measured at 77°F with a relative humidity of 90%). IP Defense can be used on
many different kinds of flat surface, including doors, desks, tables, counters, cupboards, shelves,
windows and panels, and it can be used in a wide variety of environments, such as RETAIL SPACES
(shopping centers, supermarkets, barber shops, etc), HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS (hospitals,
clinics, doctors’ surgeries, etc), EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES (nurseries, schools, universities, etc),
PUBLIC TRANSPORT (taxis, busses, trains, etc), LIFESTYLE ENVIRONMENTS (hotels, restaurants,
cafes, bars, gyms, etc) and EVENT BUSINESS LOCATIONS (exhibition centers, conference facilities,
meeting rooms, etc). However, we would not recommend this product for use in environments in which it
could be subject to direct food contact (such as kitchens, food preparation areas, food processing plants,
etc). When used as a protective laminate on printed output, it supports compatibility with different grades
of calendered PVC. In such cases, the printed media must be left to “dry” for at least 48 hours before
being laminated with IP Defense, otherwise the antimicrobial properties could be negatively impacted. In
application, IP Defense has a high level of transparency, thereby retaining the aesthetic of the surface to
which it is applied and, when applied to an appropriate substrate, it will support removability with easy
clean properties in the event of any adhesive transfer. Surface preparation: Before IP Defense is applied,
the surface should be completely cleaned.
