Water-based Elastomeric Anti-Bacterial & Antimicrobial Coating
Biodex HB Overview
Biodex HB is a highly elastomeric, high build hygiene coating for use in the most demanding service conditions. Inherently tough and permanently flexible, it is the ideal choice where substrate movement is anticipated, or where it is appropriate to impart additional tensile strength with overall reinforcement. Producing a full matt, low glare finish which is ideal for hospital operating theatres, Biodex HB benefits from the latest dual action mechanism to protect against the growth of micro-organisms and to provide added protection from germs. Biodex HB is a safe, non-leaching biostatic formulation suited for food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
Biodex HB membrane is a high build surface coating formulated to meet the needs of every hygiene sensitive environment. It is applied to walls and ceilings to prevent the growth of mould and bacteria in food preparation or production areas, brewing and beverage industries, hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry and in kitchens or bathrooms.
Biodex HB membrane is manufactured in a wide range of attractive colours for high quality, durable decoration even in conditions of high humidity or extremes of temperature.
