Stop Bac: Antimicrobial Protection in Action
Cleanliness is more than a priority — it’s a legal and operational requirement across South Africa’s food and agriculture sectors. For meat markets, abattoirs, food production facilities, and restaurants, microbial control isn’t just about appearances — it’s essential for safety, compliance, and brand trust.
That’s why Maxiflex, in collaboration with Extruflex, introduces Stop Bac PVC Strip Curtains — a proven antimicrobial barrier that starts working the moment it’s installed. Designed for the toughest environments, Stop Bac provides continuous protection, helping operators meet hygiene standards without disrupting workflow.
The Science Behind Stop Bac
Unlike topical coatings or sprays that lose effectiveness with cleaning or wear, Stop Bac PVC is infused with antimicrobial agents during manufacturing. This means every part of the strip — from its smooth surface to its internal core — actively resists bacteria, mould, and fungi.
The technology doesn’t fade over time. Whether in high-traffic cold rooms or high-humidity waste zones, Stop Bac continues to fight microbial growth without requiring extra steps from staff. This makes it a long-term, cost-effective hygiene solution that integrates seamlessly into daily operations.
Where It Matters Most
Stop Bac is purpose-built for sectors where hygiene is mission-critical. Common installations include: • Cold rooms and walk-ins in restaurants and butcheries to prevent cross-contamination • Food handling stations to protect ready-to-eat goods during preparation and transit • Chiller zones in fruit farms where condensation can encourage microbial growth • Bin rooms and waste areas prone to bacterial buildup and unpleasant odours
These curtains are not just barriers — they’re active tools in maintaining cleaner, safer workspaces.
