Antibacterial cover is a nice touch on iPhone
LONDON (September 27, 2010) -- Addmaster UK, the additive masterbatch developer, says its Biomaster antibacterial additive is used in a new iPhone 4 cover.
Product design company Anokimobi has launched “ecoskin”, which is injection molded in the UK from recycled plastics and contains the Biomaster silver ion additive to reduce bacteria levels on mobile phones.
Addamster said Anokimobi’s decision to use the same Biomaster antibacterial protection technology already used in hospitals came after a recent Which Magazine report highlighted the potential for mobile phones to carry high levels of bugs.
Tom Tranter, director of Anokimobi, said: “Our existing e-pouch range of pouches and cases already addresses issues that our customers feel strongly about, being made from recycled plastic, organic cotton and bamboo.
"But we were surprised by what Which Magazine discovered about bacteria on phones and we have worked with the producers of Biomaster to get this advanced hygiene technology into our products."
The ecoskin packaging is also made from recycled materials and can in turn be recycled. Because the product is made entirely in the UK its carbon footprint is also reduced.
