The KME Plus® range of antimicrobial copper alloys

Different colours, the same antimicrobial properties

KME Plus® is a range of coloured alloys with antimicrobial efficacy backed by scientific evidence.  

Five families of alloys have been created and classified according to their colours: from red to yellow, to a selection of grey tones, this exclusive range offers architects and designers the opportunity to benefit from the antimicrobial action of KME Plus® alloys without compromising on the creativity of design.

KME Plus® main characteristics:

• a broad spectrum of coloured alloys
• antimicrobial activity backed by science
• relevant physical properties that are typical of copper such as durability, resistance to wear and to harsh environments
• good retention of detail and finish over time
• good workability.

Different formats, the same antimicrobial properties

KME Plus® alloys can be supplied in practically all the KME standard shapes^* for semi-finished products in the following sizes.

* KME Plus® available product sizes and specifications are subject to manufacturing feasibility. Widths and diameters of flat products may vary depending on the KME Plus® family of alloy. For any specific requirements, please contact our technical department.

Different machining or forming processes, always good workability

Standard manufacturing processes such as:

• cold forming
• hot forming
• machining
• welding
• soldering
• brushing, glass bead blasting, polishing, vibratory finishing,… (for surface finishes)

normally applied to metals can also be applied to the KME Plus® alloys with no impact on their antimicrobial properties.
