Hoffmaster Launches Bio-Shield, First Antimicrobial-Protected Product Line

0275df26 1639 4438 aea4d9fddf6ad8f6
December 4, 2020

In response to the evolving needs for cleanliness in the foodservice industry, HoffmasterGroup, Inc®, a leader in foodservice disposables, launches its new Bio-Shield™ antimicrobial product line: an applied technology that stops the growth of bacteria and fungi on contact.

Bio-Shield utilizes silver ion technology to create permeant product protection. If bacteria were to land on a Bio-Shield product, antimicrobial technology binds to the bacteria, stopping it from growing or replicating. 

This process is applied to some of Hoffmaster’s best-selling disposable products ranging from tissue and linen-alternative napkins to disposable hand towels and placemats and traymats. 

Though antimicrobial napkins and placemats are ideal in restaurant settings, Bio-Shield’s usage extends beyond the restaurant sector. Disposable hand towels are great replacements for dispenser towels or hand dryers in restrooms, while traymats can be used in healthcare, hospitality room service, and the school classroom.  

The new products will be available for purchase through traditional distribution channels or on www.hoffmaster.com. 

See the full Bio-Shield line and learn more about the process here.
