Antimicrobial

Today’s focus on sanitation standards and cleanliness means that the importance of hygiene is often considered when selecting a new floor finish.

Flowcrete’s Flowfresh range contains an antimicrobial agent that is homogenously distributed throughout the system to enhance on-site hygiene levels by actively targeting bacteria in contact with the floor.

Developed in partnership with Polygiene^®, Flowfresh represents a new generation of antimicrobial flooring. Flowcrete's Flowfresh floor coating systems complement cleaning regimes by inhibiting bacterial growth by up to 99.9%.

Natural silver is renowned for its ability to protect against bacteria, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to chemically manufactured antimicrobials. Flowcrete incorporates it into the floor in such a way that the bactericidal technology remains active for the lifetime of the coating – even when damaged or worn – unlike traditional surface treatments.

Flowfresh has also been proven to meet the ISO 22196 standard, which measures a surface’s antibacterial effectiveness on plastics and other non-porous surfaces. The polyurethane system underwent rigorous testing to show that it complied with this internationally recognised benchmark.
