Does the finish contain an anti bacterial additive such as triclosan?

This is a basic enameled pan, and is designed in the traditional Mexican style and doubtfully has any additives in the finish. I really love it, and plan to get another one in this size, and the smaller one. Definitely worth the price!!

I'm sure, but I don't think triclosan is thermoresistant, so there is no point to add it to the enamel

I don't know. I wouldn't think so. It is your typical enameled cookware. Like you would find in your grandmothers kitchen. No antibacterial additives then.

Antibacterial soap cause more harm than good , This is a natural soap w/ Geranium scent .. "Triclosan is one of the most reviewed and researched ingredients used in consumer and health care products," says Brian Sansoni, a spokesman for the group, whose members include Colgate-Palmolive and Henkel Consumer Goods Inc., maker of Dial soap. The Endocrine Society, a group of doctors and scientists who specialize in the hormone system, flagged triclosan four years ago as an ingredient that alters levels of thyroid hormones and reproductive hormones like testosterone and estrogen.

It did not have a coating, so we applied a finish to it. It is very sturdy, and we love it.Norleen B.

I don't think it should be labeled "natural" when it contains Triclosan. All I know is that this product caused me intensive itching!

Probably not. Triclosan is required to be listed on the label, per American FDA or EPA requirements. See the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm205999.htm

No it does not kill germs. Forgive my correction but neither does normal dish soap or hand soap. Soap/detergent with antimicrobial action will almost always have some kind of antimicrobial ingredient such as triclosan or chlorhexadine etc... Some "all natural" ingredients exist with antimicrobial actions. Be forewarned though that there is some good evidence that triclosan has endocrine-disrupting properties and in all actuality it is best to avoid it. In addition, the everyday use of "antibacterial" soaps has led to bacteria that are resistant TO these chemicals. Any healthcare pro, microbiologist etc...worth their salt would recommend using regular soap and warm water. REMOVAL of germs is the best strategy. For surfaces, there's no substitute for good ole bleach diluted to proper strength. All that written, I REALLY like Dr. Bronner's! Use these soaps almost exclusively. GREAT company; honest, doing right, natural products, good products etc... And they smell great too. Hope this helps.

it should as there is ureathane in the finish; you shouldn't have a problem with the finish resisting the products you mentioned so long as the Lysol or Windex don't sit on the surface for a long period of time.

As far as I can see...I cannot check the chemical composition... I use it to put a bit on the threads of my overhauled Antenna/coax connectors along the whole cable runs, even though I use rubber-sealed waterproof coax connectors everywhere. Keeps the water out and keeps them from sticking together. So far, it's been doing a real good job of it. I'm happy with the product.

My Pledge, Murphy's Oil Soap, Goo Gone, and Bar Keeper's Friend do not have ingredients listed either. I guess if we knew, we'd just buy the ingredient. The best cleaner for dirty old finishes I have found I learned from a man cleaning old wood pieces while he sat at a flea market. His work was gorgeous, so I asked. Short of stripping and refinishing - and I've done plenty - his method gives the best results I've seen. Here's the recipe: -One part mineral oil.-Four parts elbow grease.-Applied with 0000 steel wool.

Hi--The active ingredient is chlorine dioxide, which is supposed to help eliminate plaque-causing bacteria. This ingredient is found in more than one reputable product. I subscribe to Tufts University's cat newsletter and to Cat Fancy magazine. I haven't heard anything negative about this product. Plaque is a long-term health risk for sure, as is the anesthesia used for dental cleanings. Check with your vet, I'm just someone who loves his cat! I'd be more worried about the serious risks of too-frequent vaccinations and site sarcomas. If you learn of anything dangerous about this product, I'd really appreciate it if you'd reply to this post and let me know. Best of luck in your search for information.

The bottle I just received says it has propylene glycol as a coating... Wish I would have noticed this before ordering!

This item has a protective oil and polish finish. It is not considered "varnish" due to the harsh chemicals that will not pass the USA standards. Let us know if you have any further questions.
