Does Your Customer Need Anti-Microbial Flooring?

2017-11-22

The USDA requires many industries to have antimicrobial floor coatings, to prevent the spread of fungi, mold, and bacteria. Businesses that involve the handling or processing of raw meat are further required to have moisture-sealed floors that can be easily cleaned using a dust-free method.

Antimicrobial coatings create a non-porous surface that prevents contaminants from contaminating the flooring beneath it, and take it a step further by containing an agent that kills fungi, mildew, mold, algae, yeast and many other bacteria. They can also withstand frequent cleanings with water and chemicals without being compromised.

Antimicrobial coatings are useful in any hygienic environment requiring a protected floor, such as industries where employees, clients, and visitors have direct contact with the floors and where floor sanitation is necessary.

Citadel is the first polyurea floor coatings manufacturer to add antimicrobial additives at the time of manufacture. We use a silver ion technology that reduces bacteria, mold and fungi, helping to prevent the risk of cross contamination.

Since the antimicrobial agent is incorporated at the time of manufacture, it provides continuous protection and will not leach from the surface or be wiped off or washed away, providing a lifetime protection for the floor.
