Bullitt Group, the global licensee for Cat phones, recently announced the availability of the Cat S42 H + smartphone with advanced antimicrobial(抗菌的) product protection. For over a decade, Cat phones have led the way in making mobile phones stronger for the needs of heavy work and the hard knocks. Now, Cat is also setting a new standard in hygiene(卫生).
The Cat S42 H + (Hygiene Plus Innovation) is the first device of its kind with permanently enhanced antimicrobial product protection built into its body. Every outside component of its hardware has been mixed with an antimicrobial silver ion(离子) technology additive called Biomaster to help fight bacteria. Tested to the international ISO 22196 standard, the active antimicrobial agent is proven to prevent bacteria cells from reproducing by over 80% within 15 minutes and 99. 9% within 24 hours.
Like all Cat phones, the Cat S42 H+ can be fully put in warm soapy water and repeatedly washed. Additionally, it has been put under extreme clean testing. It has been wiped 3, 000 times, subjected to pressurized alcohol testing and used with real world chemical mixtures. Together, this combination sets a new standard in hygienic phone design.
Mobile phones are recognized by the WHO as a potential carrier of bacteria and virus. Studies have shown the mobile phone in your pocket is 10 times dirtier than a toilet seat.
“One of the reasons why our phones are so dirty is the heat they produce. Warm environments are pleasant for bacteria to live and reproduce, and we all take our mobile phones everywhere with us, to all the places we live and work, constantly picking up new pollutants. We are proud to introduce this antimicrobial phone to help reduce these risks," said Peter Cunningham, Vice President at Bullitt Group.
From nurses to bellmen, delivery drivers, ground crew, or anyone constantly exposed to other people, this combination of easy clean phone with antimicrobial treatment can make a difference.
