Antimicrobal product company SteriTouch, who are based in Blaenau Gwent, are to launch two new products aimed at adding new properties to plastics.

Insider Media reports SCOPIC gives metal detection and X-ray visibility to rubbers and plastics, while Konduct gives plastics conductive and heat dissipative properties. Both have been developed since the company moved into a larger site in Ebbw Vale, which includes tensile, impact and environmental testing, along with metal detection equipment. The company carries out research and development work in-house.

Chris Vince, research and development manager at SteriTouch, said “The Konduct and SCOPIC brands create new possibilities and will allow us to access exciting new markets. With the equipment we have now, we have the capability to fully support customers on a technical level, which puts us in a unique position in this industry.”
