Sources of bacterial transmission


Since the outbreak in 2020, people have begun to pay more attention to "travel hygiene and safety".


Elevators are the most common source of bacterial transmission, and whether going out or home, most people choose to take the elevator. A small elevator carries all the people in and out of the entire building every day. However, during special periods, if not taken seriously, elevators are highly likely to become a source of disease and bacterial transmission.


Our daily traffic has actually exposed us to a large number of bacteria.


A study has found that one of the most densely populated places for bacteria in public places is the button on the first floor of the elevator.


Elevator bacteria are 40 times more common than toilet seats


According to a report by the British media 'The Times'


The bacterial count on the elevator button is 40 times higher than that on the toilet seat cushion.


Dr. Nicholas Munn, from the European branch of Global Antibacterial Technologies, said, "In a building with frequent pedestrian traffic, elevator buttons come into contact with dozens of bacteria every hour." Even though cleaning personnel are constantly cleaning, there are still many bacteria.


How to avoid contact with so many bacteria in daily life?


Nowadays, elevator buttons can achieve antibacterial functions, which can be achieved by adding a spreading antibacterial and mold resistant masterbatch to the coating of elevator buttons, solving the problem of bacteria from the root. It can directly react with viruses or bacterial structures, ensuring safe antibacterial activity.
