Get a handle on hygeine
17th November 2015

MILA has launched its new GRIP (Green Reliable Intelligent Polymer) espag handle manufactured from a high strength ABS material for use with PVC-U, timber and aluminium window systems.

Certified by The Carbon Trust with a carbon footprint 60% lower than Mila’s standard zinc espag handle, the GRIP handle.

Most significantly, it is available in an anti-microbial version for use in schools, healthcare environments, offices and public buildings. Branded GRIP CleanTouch, it is claimed to be the only window handle on the market which is protected with hygienic, anti-microbial silver ion technology from BioCote.

BioCote’s anti-microbial additive permeates the ABS material to provide continuous lifetime protection against the spread of surface-borne microbes, even the H1N1 influenza virus.To illustrate the technology, Mila had a display of standard GRIP and GRIP CleanTouch handles on its stand at the Build Show which visitors were encouraged to touch as much as possible. Now, BioCote is carrying out a swab analysis of all of the handles to analyse the bacterial reduction on the CleanTouch versions.

The GRIP CleanTouch looks identical to the standard GRIP handle but has the Biocote logo and traceable batch number under the lever for easy identification.
