Flowfresh represents a new generation of high-performance antimicrobial treated polyurethane resin floor screed systems that use silver by Flowcrete UK in partnership with Polygiene® to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria on contact. Silver, a natural element, is known for its antibacterial properties and offers an eco-friendly alternative to chemical antimicrobials.
HACCP International certified, Flowfresh is safe for food processing environments. The flooring contains a silver-ion-based antimicrobial additive, Polygiene®, which is proven to inhibit the growth of most types of harmful bacteria and viruses on its surface. This protection remains effective throughout the floor’s lifespan, even if the surface becomes damaged or worn, unlike coatings or surface treatments.
Flowfresh has been tested against the ISO 22196 standard for antimicrobial activity on treated plastics and non-porous surfaces.
