Hygienic Floor and Wall Coatings

SEAMLESS DURABLE RESIN COATINGS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT BACTERIAL OR FUNGAL GROWTH

There are many situations where hygienic, easy-to-clean, durable floor and wall coatings are a necessity not simply a nice-to-have. In healthcare, pharmaceuticals, prisons & custodial, food & beverage production and many other sectors, hygiene is of paramount importance. It is imperative that the floor and wall finishes in specialist facilities support the rigorous operational standards required within these sectors. Selecting floor and wall finishes that simplify cleaning procedures and maintenance requirements can reduce costs and enable funds to be spent on other key priorities. Joints, seals and cracks can collect dirt and harbour microbes even when best efforts are made to thoroughly clean surfaces. It is the nature of the materials that creates the problem.

Choosing seamless, non-porous, durable finishes is key. Vinyl sheeting and tiles, PVC cladding sheets / panelling (such as whiterock), ceramic tiles and other commonly used floor and wall finishes all create a high number of joints. Furthermore, if the joints fail and dirt or liquid gets behind the sheet, tile or panel it is very difficult to clean without stripping up the materials. An indication that his has happened is often smell, especially in areas such as public toilets where liquids such as urine can seep underneath floor sheets and tiles. An excellent alternative is a resin system. To choose the right hygienic resin system for you, the following points need to be considered:

What chemicals will be used in any processing in the area and/or for cleaning/sanitizing? - types and concentrations
What kinds and amount of impact and/or abrasion will the wall of floor surface experience? - frequency, equipment, wheel types of trolleys, susceptibility to deliberate damage or vandalism etc.
What sot of temperatures will the surface be exposed to? - normal air temperature, refrigeration / climate cooled, exposure to steam, temperature of any spillages etc.
