FLOWCRETE FLOWFRESH HF Advantages of Polyurethane Concrete High Chemical Resistance, especially inorganic acids High thermal shock resistance, steam cleaning, hot spillage, freezers, Fast installation, 1 layer fast cure Positive non-slip, better safety Few joints, easy to clean, power wash Inclusion of Flowfresh (Polygiene) anti-microbial, kills bugs Polygiene® Applications Laminates Paints. Domestic Clothing Working Surfaces Door Handles, Bathroom Accessories Medical Preparations – Wound Management Medical Dressings What is Polygiene ? Why Polygiene silver solution 1. Independently tested and verified Polygiene offers a “built-in” antimicrobial protection for the anticipated life time of the device. Textile show resistance to over 60 wash cycles on furnishing fabrics. 2. Skin friendly Many powerful antiseptics irritate the skin. Silver allergenic potential is low, with no recorded cases for Polygiene 3. Environment Silver and silver salts are naturally occurring, often found in minerals. 4. Resistance Most germs are able to develop resistance against antimicrobial agents. With silver salts, micro organisms show no or very low tendency to develop resistance according to the literature. Polygiene validation and microbiological results Antimicrobial tests and consultancy performed in Europe: Medical Institute for Microbiology, University of Milan Italy Virology Institute, University of Catania Italy SIK Institute, Gothenburg Sweden Lawlabs, Birmingham UK IMSL, Berkshire UK Test methods used: Hard surfaces – JIS Z 2801 (Japanese Industry Standard) Textile – AATCC – 100 Antiviral tests performed in China: Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, Military Academy of Medical Science, Beijing, China Validation – independently tested and proven result Material All types of plastic Laminate Paint Textile Paper Porcelain Bacteria example E-coli Staphylococcus aureus MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) Proteus vulgaris Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella typhi Streptococcus pyogenes Enterococcus faecalis Materials with Polygiene prove a bacterial reduction of 99.9% The Novelty Decayed organisms killed by Flowfresh release digested Flowfresh for further protection. Further Flowfresh is released as the floor surface is trafficked and worn due to the homogeneous dispersion of product throughout the matrix. So the anti-microbial protection effectively lasts for the lifespan of the floor Polygiene – silver resistant bacteria 1. “However, it is important to note that bacteria have been exposed to sub-inhibitory levels of Ag+ for over four billion years and no widespread resistance has been evident to date, whereas widespread antibiotic resistance has developed within the last 60 years.” 2. “Whilst a number of laboratory-based studies have indicated a possible association between bacterial resistance to biocides and cross-resistance to antibiotics, solid evidence is lacking.” 3. “This study refutes widely, yet unsupported, hypotheses that use of antibacterial products facilitates the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.” 1, 2.
