Antimicrobial

Flowfresh sets the standard for ultra hygienic flooring thanks to the natural silver-ion based antimicrobial additive Polygiene®. Developed in partnership with Polygiene®, Flowfresh is able to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria.

The antimicrobial agent is homogenously distributed throughout every Flowfresh system from base coat to seal coat, enhancing on-site hygiene levels by actively targeting bacteria in contact with the floor. 

Unlike chemical based antibacterial and antimicrobial agents, natural silver is renowned for its ability to protect against bacteria, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to chemically manufactured antimicrobials. Flowcrete incorporates it into a floor in such a way that the bactericidal technology remains active for the lifetime of the coating – even when damaged or worn – unlike traditional surface treatments.

Flowfresh has also been proven to meet the ISO 22196 standard, which measures a surface’s antibacterial effectiveness on plastics and other non-porous surfaces. The polyurethane system underwent rigorous testing to show that it complied with this internationally recognised benchmark.
