Steriall® antimicrobial architecture components

Thanks to in vitro and in vivo studies conducted by LBA and its scientific partners, Steriall® is the copper alloy solution with the most effective and long-lasting antimicrobial power in real conditions.

The Steriall® antimicrobial alloy is part of the Steriall solution developed by Lebronze alloys. It is a wrought single-phase copper alloy, which mechanical characteristics and strength well above common copper, and with superior swaging characteristics. It is non-magnetic and resists mechanical wear and galling. It can be forged, swaged and machined easily into complex components whilst being environmentally friendly, being both lead and beryllium free.

A unique solution to fight infection risks with a pending patent

Among the "antimicrobial copper" offers available on the market, Steriall® is the one that has been the subject of the most peer-reviewed scientific publications. It is the only solution whose results have been optimized and scientifically proven in real-life situations, for example: a 60% reduction in bacterial contamination of surfaces (time-average over several months), and a 4-fold reduction in the number of people infected during certain viral outbreaks.

The development of Steriall® is based on 10+ years of research in laboratory and real conditions resulting in a pending patent. Steriall® outperforms the NFS 90-700 norm on antimicrobial power.

Key antimicrobial applications

Steriall® material exhibits mechanical performances well above that of pure copper, allowing to design light and reliable components. For example, it can be a substitute to widely used stainless steel grades in equipment for public buildings and public transportation contexts.
