Certified antibacterial gaskets: new formulations by Europoliuretani

At Europoliuretani, we believe that innovation comes from observing the real needs of those who use our polyurethane systems and machines every day.
From this philosophy comes our latest development: new polyurethane gasket formulations with antibacterial properties, designed to enhance safety and protection in environments where hygiene is essential.

Certified safety

Our antibacterial gaskets have successfully passed two important laboratory tests:

• ISO 846 – evaluates resistance to fungal growth and the effectiveness of fungistatic and fungicidal additives present in the material;

• ISO 22196:2011 – measures the material’s ability to reduce bacterial proliferation on its surface.

These certifications ensure that the product maintains its hygienic properties over time, even under humid conditions or continuous contact with contaminated surfaces.

Thanks to their special composition, Europoliuretani antibacterial gaskets are ideal for applications where cleanliness and safety are critical requirements, such as air treatment and ventilation (HVAC).

A distinctive detail: the blue color

To make antibacterial gaskets immediately recognizable and easier to manage on production lines, we chose an intense blue color — a symbol of purity, technology, and reliability.
This choice is both aesthetic and functional: the color makes it easy to distinguish antibacterial versions from standard ones, reducing the risk of errors during production.
