PROTECTION AGAINST GERMS, ABRASIONS, AND STAINS
A vinyl protective coating engineered to create a tough, effective barrier against the three biggest problems encountered in healthcare and hospitality environments: germs, abrasions and stains. You can’t see it or feel it, yet the protection it offers results in extended performance and lasting beauty with a minimum of care.
SUPERIOR PROTECTION AGAINST GERMS
PERMABLOK3® results in a more hygienic environment because germ counts can be kept down. Importantly, it also guards against the surface growth of fungus, mould, and mildew spores which can cause unpleasant odours, unsightly pink and black stains, even allergic reactions. This means that vinyl protected with PERMABLOK3® not only keeps its good looks, but also remains highly resistant to deterioration such as cracking, splitting, and loss of flexibility. So from any standpoint, hygienic, cosmetic, or structural, PERMABLOK3® offers superior bacterial protection that healthcare and hospitality industries can really count on.
Virucidal Activity
PERMABLOK3® is an effective barrier against the virus as is certified with:
- ISO 18184: reduction of Coronavirus* presence by more than 90% within one hour of contact.
- ISO 21702: reduction of Coronavirus* activity by 99,9% within 24 hours of exposure on the surface.
Bacteriostatic Properties
PERMABLOK3® ensures free from bacteria upholstered surfaces as is certified with:
- ISO 22196: Value of antibacterial** activity R>2.
* Testing was conducted with material exposed to Feline Coronavirus (same coronaviridae family, structures, and mechanisms similar to SARS-Cov2).
** Testing was conducted with material exposed to Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
SUPERIOR ANTI-STAIN PROTECTION
When caught quickly, most everyday stains like grease, blood, suntan lotion, crayon, ketchup, and black felt tip pens can be wiped right off vinyl protected with PERMABLOK3®. Just use mild soap and water. For more stubborn stains, a variety of concentrated and solvent type cleansers may be used without damaging the surface. These include alcohol, naphtha, and bleach. (Abrasive household cleansers and steel wool should be avoided - see the Care and Cleaning Guide for complete instructions.)
