Hygiene and safety for sensitive hospital areas
In sensitive hospital areas such as operating theatres, intensive care units and imaging diagnostics, strict hygiene regulations are not the only one prevailing. Floors must also comply with important safety requirements. Most important of all is the necessity to avoid electrostatic discharges, as they can cause unpredictable malfunction or even failures of sensitive medical equipment and devices. Nevertheless, along with safety requirements, high priority must also be given to rigorous hygiene regulations and the prevention of hospital-acquired infections.
Colorex SD/EC can satisfy both requirement profiles. The negative effects of an accumulation of static electricity can be avoided by the permanent conductive properties. On the other hand, the compact and pore-free surface, hostile to bacteria and moulds, is meeting the highest hygiene standards. Moreover, thanks to its excellent chemical stability, optical appearance and functionalities, Colorex SD/EC will not be affected in any way by the repeated cleaning and disinfecting cycles which are typical to hospital environments.
