 Antimicrobial coating
-----------------------

[uvex high-fit otoplastics](https://www.uvex-safety.com/en/products/individual-ppe/?smxfilter=1&f=1281) feature a nanocoating, which is diffused into the material. This means that silver ions are contained within the otoplastic matrix, ensuring that bacteria and germs do not multiply.
