Miami —

CMI Enterprises, a supplier of treated upholstery fabrics and fabrication solutions, has created a new product under its environmentally friendly Nanocide Antimicrobial line of goods.

Called Dimensions, this new product line encompasses coated vinyl fabrics for upholstery and bedding that are 99.9% resistant to Staphylococcus germs, tests have shown. Such germs that come in contact with a new Dimensions product are killed within minutes.

"Nanocide Antimicrobial for the health care, transportation, institutional and hospitality settings is the beginning of an environment that offers a greatly reduced risk of MRSA contamination, from seating and bedding upholstery material," explained Michael Novick, CMI ceo.

Novick said his company's antimicrobial product is more earth-friendly than many other biocides frequently used in seating and bedding products because the latter often are arsenic- and cyanide-based.

Dimensions is available in at least 20 different colors.
