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

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

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.”

Polygiene – how it works
Inhibits the growth of microbes

The silver is homogenously distributed throughout the material
Silver migrates to the surface
Silver ions kills the bacteria on the surface by penetrating the cell
membrane
