Adapt has reached an agreement with G-Tec Paper & Film to distribute the latter’s Touchshield range of anti-microbial protective films in the UK.

Touchshield, which was recently shown to provide up to 93.41% protection against viruses in accordance with international standard ISO 21702, is said to be proven to fight ‘thousands of bacteria strains including MRSA, Salmonella, E-Coli, Legionella and Influenza A.’

‘With a product as versatile as this, we have been seeking selected UK partners with the breadth of experience required to deliver Touchshield to every person, in every sector,’ said G-Tec managing director Will Duggins. ‘Dominic Bowen and his team at Adapt are one of those key partners who tick every box and we are very happy to have them on board.

‘One of the key features of Touchshield is that its optimum balance of cost and benefit to end-users makes it a particularly attractive product to print professionals. It provides the perfect balance of longevity and protection levels at the right price, meaning it can be delivered within competitive project budgets. By allowing very high levels of protection over months rather than years, print professionals can re-visit projects more frequently, maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty and increasing long-term revenue potential.’

Adapt general manager Dominic Bowen added, ‘Adapt has been in discussions for some time with G-Tec about Touchshield and we are very happy to be finally working in partnership with them on this amazing product. We see this as a key partnership moving forward on what could be one of our bestselling new products this year. From our national distribution and training centre in Nottingham we will be supplying Touchshield by the roll and by the metre.’
