The U.S. government’s Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Challenge is an effort for governments, private companies and non-governmental organizations worldwide to make formal commitments that further the progress against antimicrobial resistance. The challenge encourages One Health — an approach recognizing that “the health of people is connected to the health of animals and the environment” — emphasizing need for change.

PSS is proud to be a member of this initiative and has a direct line of R&D committed to creating antimicrobial powder coating technologies that have achieved superior stamina compared to traditional bacteria/germ-eliminators. PSS health line coating formulations target the source with a different mind-set toward antimicrobial elimination, which yields estimated 99.99999% clean coatings surfaces. Average antimicrobial coatings can claim only 99.9% clean. These tenths of decimal powers may seem small, except when looking at bacteria growth. The strength of bacteria to multiply and migrate over a surface is exponential. An extra 7X power-strength can mean a different health life for society.
