Our wood-based materials make an active contribution to hygiene
Bacteria, germs and viruses on the surfaces of furniture and interior fittings pose a real risk of infection. Surfaces must be cleaned regularly with sometimes aggressive agents, particularly in areas with a high number of visitors or with specific hygiene requirements. Pfleiderer has therefore developed surfaces that can help reduce the risk of transmission or infection and make an important contribution towards health protection.
The Pfleiderer hygiene products are, among others, particularly suitable for the following application areas:
- Clinics, doctor’s surgeries, pharmacies
- Educational institutions
- Hotels and catering
- Sports, nursing, rehabilitation and wellness facilities
- Cruise ships, motorhomes, food transportation vehicles
- etc.
Two levels of protection
Pfleiderer hygiene products are available in two levels, depending on the requirement.Our classic HPL and DecoBoard products have antimicrobial properties, i.e. they reduce germs and bacteria within 24 hours1. The innovative microPLUS® surface is also available for selected products, and provides even faster and more comprehensive protection: It provides antimicrobial protection in just 7 hours2 – and, as an antiviral surface, is even effective against enveloped viruses within 24 hours3!
Reliable: antimicrobial effect in 24 hours
Pfleiderer products have an antimicrobial surface that boosts hygiene protection. This means they reduce 99.9% of all bacteria and germs that come into contact with the surface within 24 hours1. Their effectiveness is classified in accordance with JIS Z 2801 / ISO 22196 and documented in independent test procedures.
The following products have an antimicrobial finish as standard:
Health protection without limits
The standard antimicrobial products have the same outstanding properties and the same wide selection of design options you would expect from Pfleiderer. In practice, this means:
- Full selection of decor and structures from the DST system
- All the options of the Pfleiderer Individual digital printing process
- Standard format selection and availability
- Unchanged product and processing properties (fire protection, damp environments, IMO certification, etc.),
Unique: microPLUS, the surface with antiviral properties
The innovative microPLUS® surface sets totally new standards for health protection with wood-based materials: It provides significantly faster antimicrobial protection within 7 hours2 and is also able to reduce enveloped viruses3 upon contact with the surface, even the most recent coronavirus3. This property is unique to Pfleiderer, and enables users to implement unique concepts in situations that require the highest standards of health protection.
