Antimicrobial MIFARE Classic® EV1 1K Blank White PVC Cards

As one of the latest additions to our product range these MIFARE Classic® EV1 1K cards offer the added benefit of an antimicrobial overlay that provides peace of mind for your card users by reducing bacterial activity on the cards surface by over 99%.

How have our cards been developed to provide antimicrobial protection? 

These cards have been specially designed to stop the replication and growth of bacteria on their surface. They are manufactured to the same high specifications as all our smart cards, with an extra additive introduced to the overlay on the surface of the card. It's this additive that gives the cards surface its antimicrobial properties. The additive, uses silver-based nano-technology that stops bacteria growth in three ways; it ruptures the bacterial cell membrane, immobilises the bacteria by depleting oxygen levels and destroys the reproductive receptor. 

Silver, used widely in the medical industry for many years, is naturally antimicrobial and offer an array of benefits when compared with non-silver-based antimicrobials. This includes it's sustainability, superior durability, low MIC (minimum inhibition concentration – the level at which a material is effective against microbes) and bacteria doesn't develop resistance, unlike some of the non-silver antimicrobials.

Ideal for a wide range of applications…

Antimicrobial cards are a great addition to any organisation that uses for smart cards, as cards are touched many times a day by users, however, they are particularly useful where multiple users touch the same card. An example of this is hotels, where a room key is programmed used by a guest and then returned to the hotel for use by the next guest. Another example of this would be a library or loyalty card that the user would hand to a clerk who scans the card to add points or let you check out a book.
