06 Aug 2020 --- Specialty packaging manufacturer Parkside has launched a packaging solution incorporating an antibacterial coating that reportedly kills 99.9 percent of microorganisms, such as campylobacter in poultry. UK-based Parkside collaborated with high-tech surface protection suppliers Touchguard to develop an antimicrobial technology that inhibits the growth of pathogens through an innovative surface finish. Utilizing silver-based technology, the coating can be applied over lacquer as a water or solvent-based finish.
