The importance of cleanliness and sanitization is paramount in every public washroom space; however, we believe this standard is not upheld all the time. Do you know what bathroom disposal is most likely to be unlined? Feminine hygiene disposals. Having these feminine hygiene disposals unlined not only creates an unsightly mess, but also health and safety risks for the individuals using it and the janitorial staff servicing it.

Frost is proud to announce our new code: 621-P disposable high-density polyethylene liner for use with our feminine hygiene receptacles. Frost made this change because the new 621-P is much better suited across our family of products for a variety of reasons.

The new 621-P fits in all feminine hygiene receptacles that Frost offers (codes: 620, 622, 625, 633-2, 640, 641), whereas the old wax paper bags do not fit in all receptacles. With a liner that is better suited for the receptacle this results in improved hygiene and safety for individuals opening the receptacle and janitorial staff accessing it. The transparent colour of the feminine hygiene disposal bags helps to protect janitorial staff as there is less risk of needle sticks when emptying the liner, and the more versatile liner will contain all waste which prevents disease transmission from bloodborne pathogens. The HDPE material is also much stronger than the wax paper bags and less prone to rip and break.

From a cost perspective, this change provides a lot of benefits as a better fitting liner will result in less waste being flushed down the toilet which eliminates unnecessary plumbing costs; and with the shipping weight being approximately 38% less, distributors will save on shipping costs. Moreover, the HDPE bags are far more of a sustainable solution to wax paper bags as well, as High Density material sends 50% less material weight to landfills than a wax paper bag. Frost is proud to offer this improved solution to our customers and it is now available in stock.

The COVID19 Pandemic has reminded us of the importance of cleanliness and sanitization in the workplace and public settings. Frost’s team of design engineers have been focusing on creating durable new products to support our customers’ growing sanitization needs.

In 2020, Frost has released several new manual and automatic bulk filled sanitizer dispensers, along with a high quality, professional, steel sanitizer dispenser stand. Frost has also created a hands-free bathroom door opener with our new code 1148.

In response to ongoing demand for hands-free waste receptacles, Frost is please to announce our new line of pedal operated waste cans. The new code 305 waste receptacle has flexible labeling to allow to the user to choose between regular waste, recycling, personal protective equipment, organics, or bio-hazard. The large toe pedal and hidden spring-loaded mechanisms eliminate pinch points. Dampers provide smooth and quiet opening and closing of the lid. Canadian made out of heavy 22 gauge steel provides long term durability and fire protection. It has a large capacity and includes both a bag holder ring and plastic liner, which means less frequent changing of bags.

Features:
• Large foot pedal with toe guard
• Spring loaded hidden operating mechanisms eliminate pinch points
• Dampers provide smooth and quiet opening and closing
• Flexible labeling included in two sizes (Waste, Recycling, PPE, Organics, and Biohazard)
• Comes with bag holder apparatus and plastic liner
• Plastic gliders protect floors
• Canadian made of all welded 22 gauge steel
• Complies with OSHA standards for containment of infectious waste

Capacity:
• The waste receptacle has a total capacity of 95.1 litres (25.1 US gal, 20.9 Imp. gal).
• Liner capacity of 58.2 litres (15.5 US gal, 12.8 Imp gal).

Stay safe and healthy,

Frost is happy to announce recent additions to our website which should enhance users ability to gather the information they need. We have now listed our MSRP (List Prices) for each product. So there is now no need to click through to the full price list. This will provide end users the ability to quickly get an idea of what they should expect to pay for a product from a distributor. Distributors also do have the right to sell for less than this advertised manufacturer’s suggested retail price.
Secondly, we have added a “Stock Check” to each product as well. This information will be updated every Monday morning and periodically throughout the week if we become out of stock on an item. If a product says “In Stock” it means that we have a substantial amount of units on hand and the product should ship from our warehouse within 48 hours of receiving an order. If a product says “Low Stock” it means there are less than 10 units available from stock. In this instance, you may want to call the head office to see exactly how many units are available to ship. Finally, if a product has a lead time, for instance, “Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery”, it means the product is currently out of stock, but will ship within the lead time assigned if an order is placed.
Frost is continuing to look to add functionality to our website in hopes of making it a valuable source for end users, distributors, and architects. If you have any other suggestions on how we can improve please contact us at info@frostproductsltd.com.

As always, we appreciate the feedback and your loyal support.
