Naturally Hygienic Surfaces for your Kitchen
Despite the fact that wood is proven to be more hygienic than plastic, the
opposite is often still an accepted belief. Scientific studies carried out by
numerous institutes confirm that Wilms® Hygienic Wood is far more hygienic
than its synthetic counterparts.
Pine heartwood taken straight from nature is found to have powerful
bacteria-reducing contents. When compared in studies to other materials, pine
heartwood performs best.
The Institute for Environmental Medicine and Hospital Hygiene determined
through an extensive study that Wilms® Hygienic Wood kills germs substantially
better than plastic-coated plates and polyethylene. Further studies performed
by other institutes then verified these findings.
Based on the results, the DIN10528 (Food Industry Hygiene) has been amended:
Wood has been re-authorized for use in the food industry.

Use the Strength of Pine in the Kitchen
To bring the positive effects of pine heartwood to the kitchen, Wilms® has
created a series of cutting boards.
The product line includes boards in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
The wood has been through the Wilms® patented treatment procedure so the
natural antibacterial and germ-killing effect is intensified.
To ensure the strongest antibacterial power of the wood, the boards have
not been coated in any way.
Advantages:
Antibacterial and Germ-Killing [more...]
A scientific study by the Federal Biological Institute in
Brunswick tested the germination ability of various materials. Wilms® Hygienic
Wood produced an impressive result. One hour after numerous germs were applied
to the Hygienic Wood, no viable bacteria were detectable. In contrast, when
the plastic (polyethylene) surface was tested, bacteria were still detectable
after nine days.
Inside the Deeper Cracks [more...]
Through the antibacterial effect of the wood, germs that are
not cleaned off and remain in the deeper cracks are effectively killed. In the
same situation using a plastic board, the germs multiply.
Natural Ambience in Your Kitchen [more...]
Wood is a warm material which creates a natural,
pleasant atmosphere.
