Hygienic Antimicrobial Signage for High-Risk Environments
NOVADURA antimicrobial signage systems are manufactured for healthcare, food production, laboratory, agricultural and public-facing environments where hygiene and surface protection are critical.
Produced within the primaDURA aluminium range, systems incorporate BioCote® antimicrobial technology using integrated silver-ion technology designed to continuously reduce microbial contamination across the signage surface.
Unlike surface-applied antimicrobial treatments, BioCote® protection is embedded within the material itself, providing continuous antimicrobial performance throughout the operational lifespan of the signage system.
Continuous Hygiene Performance
The antimicrobial protection works continuously to help inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould and fungi whilst also reducing odour and staining caused by microbial contamination.
BioCote® technology is independently tested against a wide range of clinically significant microorganisms including:
- MRSA and MSSA
- E. coli
- Legionella pneumophila
- Salmonella
- H1N1 virus
Laboratory testing demonstrates significant reductions in microbial contamination within short exposure periods, with reductions of up to 99.5% recorded within two hours.
Antimicrobial signage systems are commonly specified for healthcare facilities, laboratories, food production environments and public-facing hygiene-critical applications requiring durable easy-clean surface performance.
Suitable Applications
Antimicrobial signage systems are commonly specified across:
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Food manufacturing environments
- Laboratories and clean rooms
- Wet rooms and hygiene-sensitive areas
- Agricultural environments
- Public-facing high-contact spaces
These systems are designed to complement standard cleaning and hygiene procedures rather than replace them.
Antimicrobial signage systems can also be manufactured as wall mounted panels, public information signage and wayfinding systems for healthcare and hygiene-sensitive environments.

Antimicrobial signage incorporates BioCote® silver-ion technology designed to continuously reduce microbial contamination across the material surface.
Unlike antibacterial treatments that target bacteria only, antimicrobial protection provides broader surface protection against:
- Bacteria
- Fungi
- Mould
- Certain viruses
The integrated protection is embedded within the material rather than applied as a surface coating, helping maintain cleaner surfaces throughout the operational lifespan of the signage.
Products are tested in accordance with ISO 22196:2011, the recognised international standard for measuring antibacterial activity on non-porous surfaces.
Testing measures the reduction of viable bacteria following controlled incubation periods using recognised bacterial samples including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
This provides verifiable antimicrobial performance in accordance with recognised international testing standards.
