Colorbond Permagard antibacterial steel for cool room panels

Colorbond Permagard steel combines strong Colorbond steel with Microban antibacterial technology to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Permagard steel is suitable for cool room panel construction.

Colorbond Permagard steel is either approved by, or in compliance with, the regulations of the European Union Scientific Committee for Food, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the United States Food and Drug Administration and the Australian and New Zealand Food Authorities. The steel is certified by HACCP Australia as a FoodSafe product for ceiling and wall linings of food storage and processing facilities.

Colorbond says the steel works continuously and will not wash off, making it suitable for areas that are difficult to clean. The company claims the steel remained effective and resistant to corrosion after tests involving simulated cleaning using typical cold room detergents over a period of 10 years.

The product can be used in a range of applications such as cool rooms and facilities that store and process food items where food hygiene and safety is a primary concern, including supermarket cold storage areas, food processing plants, abattoirs and wineries.

The product is available in a range of panel thicknesses from 50 to 200 mm.
