Need Flooring in the Pharmaceutical Industry?
At Sika, we understand the importance of issues such as ease of maintenance, chemical resistance, protection against bacteria and clean room standards required for sterile and clean process environments in the pharmaceutical and life science industries. As part of our #SikaClean offer we have a range of products that give you a seamless connection between walls and floors, giving you peace of mind when specifying solutions that need to be durable and sustainable for these sensitive areas of production, thus helping you maintain quality assurances.
In recent years Sika has developed a new generation of advanced flooring, wall coating and joint sealant solutions for cleanroom environments.
Manufacturing under cleanroom conditions is becoming increasingly more widespread and demanding, with particular regard to VOC /AMC emissions (Volatile Organic Compounds / Airborne Molecular Contaminants), particle emissions and biological contamination.
One label contains all the information for clients or specifiers working in the cleanroom industries!
The number of products which have to be produced and processed under cleanroom conditions is constantly growing, from electronics and automotive components to food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. In many of these industries, cleanroom manufacturing plus a high degree of component cleanliness are now essential to achieve their desired product quality.
Many Sikafloor®, Sikagard® and Sikaflex® systems are the ‘State of the Art’ in cleanroom solutions, specifically developed and certified for cleanroom environments ranging from those in the Semi-conductor and Electronics industries to those in the Life Science industries. Therefore we are the ideal partner to help you select the best solutions for your individual processes and cleanroom requirements and with the unique CSM product qualification.
Certification
Most of the Sikafloor®, Sikagard® and Sikaflex® systems are tested and certified for their use in a cleanroom environment.
Furthermore, in depth test reports and proof statements are available for each certified product or system, which contain all of the relevant information regarding the testing parameters and standards. You can also refer to the public database of the Fraunhofer IPA Institute where all of the tested and certified Sika solutions are listed:

FAQs
Sikafloor pharmaceutical floors feature low VOC emissions, minimal particle shedding, and long-term durability. They support cleanroom and laboratory air quality, reduce maintenance frequency, and lower environmental impact over the lifecycle. These features ensure compliance with hygiene standards while contributing to sustainable, safe, and healthy pharmaceutical and research facility operations.
Sikafloor pharmaceutical systems are formulated to withstand harsh cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, acids, and alkalis. They resist thermal shock from cleaning processes, provide non-porous, impermeable surfaces, and maintain mechanical integrity under repeated use. This ensures long-lasting performance, easier maintenance, and reliable protection of production areas in demanding pharmaceutical and life-science facilities.
Seamless floors prevent dirt, bacteria, and contaminants from collecting in joints or cracks. They ensure smooth transitions to walls, reduce cleaning difficulty, and maintain compliance with cleanroom hygiene standards. Sikafloor seamless systems enhance operational efficiency, lower contamination risks, and create safe, durable surfaces suitable for high-standard pharmaceutical production and laboratory areas.
Sikafloor provides epoxy, polyurethane, mortar, and conductive/ESD systems for pharmaceutical environments. Epoxy systems suit standard zones, PU systems offer comfort and low VOCs, mortar-based floors handle heavy loads, and conductive options protect sensitive electronics. These tailored systems meet GMP and ISO cleanroom standards while providing chemical resistance, seamless surfaces, and hygienic performance.
Pharmaceutical floors must be seamless, chemically resistant, low in VOCs, and easy to clean. They need to withstand disinfectants, acids, and heavy traffic, while maintaining hygienic standards. Sikafloor systems offer joint-free surfaces, support cleanroom compliance, and resist bacterial growth, providing safe, durable, and easy-to-maintain flooring solutions for pharmaceutical and life-science environments.
