Flowfresh Antimicrobial PU floor coating

Flowfresh Antimicrobial PU has been designed to provide the food and beverage industry with an ultrahygienic floor finish that actively eliminates harmful contaminants. The cementitious polyurethane flooring system utilises natural silver ion technology to target microorganisms on the floor’s surface.

The antimicrobial agent Polygiene is incorporated within the system and it continuously emits powerful silver ions that destroy any gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria they come into contact with. The additive consists of a thermosetting amino compound locked within the product’s resin matrix, meaning that it lasts the lifetime of the floor. Its effectiveness means the product can reduce the bacterial population on the floor’s surface by 99.9%.

The one-stop solution will help the food and beverage industry to meet the demands of health and safety regulations. These rules typically state that floors need to be seamless, non-porous and impervious. By meeting these criteria, the product ensures an easy-to-clean finish that prevents bacteria, yeast and mould spores surviving in cracks or gaps.

The high crosslinked density and hard-wearing nature of the product means that it can withstand the impacts and corrosives found in food and beverage processing facilities for a long period of time. The system’s versatility means that it can be installed in a variety of thicknesses, colours and formulations, which makes it suitable for a wide range of locations, from intensive manufacturing and processing areas to kitchens, corridors and storage rooms.
