BLANCO SILGRANIT® II features patented HYGIENIC+PLUS™ formula that shields against dirt and bacteria

LUMBERTON, NJ, January 2013 – BLANCO, the German manufacturer of finely crafted sinks and faucets, is proud to announce that its SILGRANIT II series of sinks includes HYGIENIC+PLUS™ a patented formula that acts as a shield against dirt and bacteria. Independent laboratory tests confirm that the unique built-in hygiene protection reduces bacterial growth by an average of 98%.

“Damp surfaces like sinks can be a breeding ground for bacteria,” states Tim Macher, Director of Marketing for BLANCO. “Only SILGRANIT II has a patented 100% smooth closed surface, which means water beads off, and the surface dries quickly, so germs and bacteria can’t get in.”

BLANCO’s HYGIENIC+PLUS not only shields against dirt and bacteria, the closed surface stays cleaner, keeping homeowners safe, without the need for heavy detergents, chemicals or bleach.

SILGRANIT II is 100% food safe, and the non-porous material even resists food acids. In fact, the rock-hard surface also resists scratches, stains and heat. Best of all, it never needs maintenance or special seals to keep its HYGIENIC+PLUS surface effective. Available in 23 shapes and a palette of eight on-trend colors designed to coordinate with a wide range of countertops, SILGRANIT II offers endless possibilities for kitchens.
