September 1, 2008—Component Hardware Group (CHG), a manufacturer of premium plumbing and hardware products for commercial, foodservice, institutional and healthcare applications, has announced the addition of Great Grabz to the roster of manufacturers who have joined the SANIGUARD Alliance.

The SANIGUARD Alliance is a partnership of independent companies that are committed to the use of SANIGUARD, an inorganic, silver-based antimicrobial treatment, which is built into plumbing and hardware products for the healthcare market.

SANIGUARD actively inhibits the growth of a broad spectrum of common bacteria, molds and fungi that cause odors, staining and product deterioration. With normal care and cleaning, this antimicrobial product protection can be expected to last for the useful life of the product.

Great Grabz, a company based in Naples, FL that manufactures elegant, decorative bathroom accessories, will use SANIGUARD on its ADA-compliant grab bars, towel bars and toilet paper holders.

The SANIGUARD Alliance supplies products with built-in antimicrobial product protection, such as flush valves, P-traps, drains, door hardware, bedpan washers and flushers, hand showers and shower valves, water fountains and bubblers, faucets and pre-rinse units for use in patient rooms, public restrooms and commercial kitchens.
