FAQs
Because the coatings are seamless and resistant to cleaning/disinfection, they simplify maintenance by eliminating seams and crevices. However, choosing appropriate cleaning agents, maintaining the coating surface and consulting manufacturer guidelines ensure the hygiene performance remains intact over time.
Typical systems include WallCoat AS-12 (single-component, waterborne, low-emitting acrylic), WallCoat AL-12 (single-component, low-emitting, reinforced waterborne acrylic with higher impact resistance) and WallCoat AL-11 (single-component, low-emitting waterborne acrylic).
They are suitable for high-hygiene requirement zones such as operating theatres, emergency rooms, food production lines, and for medium-hygiene zones like labs, kitchens or laundries. They also serve sectors including pharmaceuticals, leisure, electronics and agricultural facilities.
These coatings are easy to clean (reducing maintenance time and cost), carry hygiene certifications, emit very low VOCs/AMCs for healthier indoor air, resist cleaning/disinfection without performance loss, come in almost any colour and are free from hiding places for bacteria.
Hygienic coatings are seamless wall and ceiling finishes designed for high-cleanliness environments such as healthcare, pharmaceutical or food & beverage production facilities. They help meet strict hygiene standards by offering smooth surfaces with minimal joints or seams where bacteria or dirt might hide.
