Antimicrobial seals

Cambridge Security Seals (CSS) unveiled its A-MVB line of antimicrobial seals. The ionic silver-based A-MVB (antimicrobial viricide-material-infused) formula in these patent-pending seals specifically targets, repels and deactivates or eliminates the metabolic and reproductive capacity of virus-hosting bacteria, molds, fungi, algae or other infectious microorganisms that can exist on the surface of a standard plastic seal and be transmitted to users. The seals remove the need and labor required to clean the product with disinfectants. CSS serves healthcare, pharmaceutical, freight, logistics, government, distribution and other industries.
