病毒活躍期 - 更提醒我們從環境開始守護健康

近日 TVB 新聞報道指出，本港新冠病毒及流感持續活躍，過去數周更錄得新冠相關死亡個案。醫生亦提醒，即使症狀較輕，亦不應掉以輕心，尤其長者、幼童及免疫力較弱人士更需提高警覺。

TVB 新聞報道：
https://youtu.be/I8addJpx2aY?si=P6tD4MfUlJZ2U6zh

面對病毒，我們未必能完全避免接觸，但可以透過良好的個人衛生習慣，以及營造更潔淨的生活和工作環境，為自己和身邊的人多添一份保障。

每天，我們都會接觸門柄、扶手、電梯按鈕、桌面等各種高接觸表面。除了定期清潔及消毒外，愈來愈多人開始關注材料本身是否具備長效衛生防護功能，希望從源頭提升日常環境的潔淨水平。

這亦是 IML 一直致力研發 IMU+ 長效抗菌材料技術 的初心。我們希望透過將抗菌功能融入材料本身，為消費產品、公共設施、醫療環境及其他高接觸應用提供更潔淨、更安心的材料方案，作為日常環境衛生管理的重要一環。

💙 良好的衛生習慣，是守護健康的第一步；創新材料科技，則為健康生活增添更多可能。

Creating Healthier Environments Starts with Everyday Awareness

A recent TVB News report highlighted that COVID-19 and seasonal influenza remain active in Hong Kong. Health experts also reminded the public not to underestimate respiratory illnesses, even when symptoms appear mild, particularly for older adults, young children, and those with weakened immune systems.

Watch the TVB News report:

While we may not be able to eliminate every risk, maintaining good personal hygiene and creating cleaner everyday environments can help reduce the spread of germs.

From door handles and lift buttons to desks and handrails, high-touch surfaces are part of our daily lives. Alongside regular cleaning, there is growing awareness of materials designed to support cleaner and more hygienic environments.

This is the vision behind IMU+, IML's long-lasting antimicrobial material technology. By integrating antimicrobial functionality directly into the material, IMU+ is designed for a wide range of high-touch applications, supporting cleaner environments as part of a comprehensive hygiene strategy.

💙 Good hygiene is the foundation of a healthier future. Innovation helps us go one step further.

近期傳染病個案提醒我們：良好的衛生習慣，從日常做起

香港特區政府近日公布多宗傳染病個案，再次提醒大家，保持良好的個人及環境衛生，是守護自己和家人健康的重要一環。
無論是在家中、辦公室、學校，還是公共場所，都可以從日常小習慣開始：

✔️ 勤洗手，保持個人衛生。
✔️ 定期清潔及消毒經常接觸的表面。
✔️ 保持室內空氣流通。
✔️ 如身體不適，應遵從衞生防護建議。

隨著大眾越來越重視日常環境衛生，具備長效抗菌功能的材料亦逐漸受到關注。這類材料並不能取代良好的衛生習慣，但在高接觸環境中，可作為提升環境衛生的輔助方案之一。

這正是 IML 一直致力研發 IMU+ 長效抗菌材料技術 的理念。透過將抗菌功能融入材料本身，IMU+ 可應用於消費產品、公共設施、醫療環境及其他高接觸應用，協助打造更潔淨、更安心的生活及工作空間。

良好的衛生習慣，是健康生活的基礎；創新材料科技，則讓我們向更健康的環境邁進一步。

Recent Infectious Disease Cases Remind Us: Good Hygiene Starts with Everyday Habits

The Hong Kong SAR Government recently reported several infectious disease cases, reminding us that maintaining good personal and environmental hygiene remains essential in our daily lives.

Whether at home, in the workplace, at school, or in public spaces, simple habits can make a meaningful difference:

✔️ Wash your hands regularly with soap.
✔️ Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
✔️ Maintain good ventilation where possible.
✔️ Follow the latest public health advice when feeling unwell.

As people become more aware of hygiene in everyday environments, there is also growing interest in materials that help keep frequently touched surfaces cleaner. While these materials are not a substitute for good hygiene practices, they can serve as an additional layer of support in environments where cleanliness matters.

At IML, this is the vision behind IMU+—our long-lasting antimicrobial material technology. By integrating antimicrobial functionality directly into the material, IMU+ is designed for a wide range of applications, including consumer products, public facilities, healthcare environments, and other high-touch surfaces, helping create cleaner and more hygienic spaces.

Good hygiene starts with daily habits. Innovation helps us take one step further.
