In the post-epidemic era, where the concept of health is deeply rooted in people’s minds, “healthy homes” have become a common pursuit. The choice of flooring, which is a large and highly exposed part of the residential environment, is crucial.
antibacterial PVC flooring
Germs, bacteria and fungi are everywhere, invisible to the naked eye, and affect our health at all times. For those who like to walk barefoot, sit and play on the floor, especially the elderly and children with weakened immune systems, having antibacterial flooring will reduce the risk of infection from disease-causing bacteria and take care of the health of family members.
What is antibacterial flooring? How does antibacterial function work? And how should we choose?
Antibacterial flooring is a flooring material to which a certain amount of antibacterial agent is added and processed. Antibacterial flooring inhibits the reproduction of bacteria on the surface, thus achieving long-term hygiene and safety.
The antimicrobial composition varies from flooring to flooring. Antimicrobial agents for antibacterial flooring can be broadly divided into two categories: organic and inorganic. In the current market, products using inorganic antibacterial agents are more common, and inorganic antibacterial agents such as silver ion, zinc ion and copper ion antibacterial additives are most widely used.
The addition of silver ion antibacterial agent in the floor manufacturing process does not affect the existing floor surface high wear resistance, burn resistance, floor material, texture decorative and comprehensive physical and chemical properties of the basis. It is safe to human body and has a strong antibacterial ability by evenly dispersing the powder in the surface layer of the floor.
Antibacterial flooring types
There are various types of flooring, broadly divided into wood, porcelain and, more commonly, PVC rubber flooring in public places. How can they be made antibacterial? We offer solutions for antibacterial applications.
1. Antibacterial PVC flooring applications
PVC plastic flooring can be divided into LVT/VCT and WPC/SPC etc. depending on the main raw material, surface texture and structure. It can also be divided into PVC locking flooring and PVC non-locking flooring, mainly used in small and medium-sized educational, office, commercial and other places. Its antibacterial function can be achieved by mixing AntibacMax antibacterial agent with PVC flooring substrate evenly, without changing the original process.
2. Antibacterial wood flooring applications
Add the right amount of AntibacMax antimicrobial agent to the floor coating, spray it evenly on the forming floor and dry it to make an antimicrobial wooden floor.
3. Antibacterial floor tile application
Add an appropriate amount of AntibacMax antimicrobial agent to the ceramic glaze, mix evenly together with the ball mill, and make the antimicrobial glaze. Then apply it to the surface of the floor tile products, and take it to baking to make antimicrobial floor tiles.
The antibacterial flooring with AntibacMax antimicrobial agent has been tested by authoritative institutions and has high efficiency, broad-spectrum and long-lasting antibacterial properties, solving the problem of microbial erosion and accumulation and reproduction in daily use, allowing the floor to achieve a long self-cleaning function; reducing the infection of pathogenic microorganisms in the process of use. This reduces the chances of infection by pathogenic micro-organisms during use and provides greater protection for the health and safety of family members.
Whichever type of antibacterial flooring is available, it needs to have undergone professional antibacterial and anti-mould testing. Consumers should make sure that the test certificates provided by authoritative testing institutes are recognised when purchasing.
