Have you ever considered how
many germs accumulate on
armrests and tray tables between
cleaning processes? These
surfaces are among the least
hygienic parts of an aircraft
seat, and can often be
contaminated with pathogens.
Ebco has therefore implemented
measures to protect the surfaces of
its armrests and tray tables against
infection. Thanks to the completely closed
surfaces without pores, its range of
armrests and tray tables can enable quick
and easy cleaning and disinfection.
The biologically active compounds
embedded in the varnish on the surfaces
attack the shell of viruses. As a result,
the virus shell becomes porous and the
compounds kill the virus. Coronaviruses
can stay on surfaces for up to nine days,
but the application of this special varnish
can reduce the risk of infection by a
claimed 99%. The surface treatment can
kill any viruses present within two hours,
according to Ebco.
“With this highly beneficial feature,
Ebco provides a considerable level of
added safety for passengers, and an
enhanced level of health-oriented
comfort on flights”, states Michael
Graf, Ebco’s sales manager.
