Why choose resin flooring for the healthcare sector?
- Antimicrobial properties: Antimicrobial additives in some resins can prevent bacterial growth.
- Chemical and stain resistance: Some resins will withstand strict cleaning regimes that use harsh cleaning products and disinfectants.
- Easily maintained: A seamless finish assists fast and effective cleaning.
- Durability: Resin is tough and can withstand heavy footfall and machinery.
- Fast-cure: A rapid cure system allows for minimal downtime and disruption during installation and curing.
- Slip-resistance: Essential to prevent slips, trips, and falls in busy public spaces.
Resin flooring can be tailored to suit the needs of the area. For example, corridors, laboratories, and general wards may require a durable, chemical-resistant flooring system, such as epoxy.
Hospital kitchens, surgical wards or areas requiring hot water cleaning might benefit from a polyurethane (PU) flooring system, which is more flexible than epoxy, and is thermal-shock resistant.
Areas requiring minimal operational disruption, such as emergency areas, would require a fast-curing resin such as methyl methacrylate (MMA).
Resin flooring systems with antimicrobial properties additives, critical in reducing the spread of harmful bacteria, which makes it an ideal option for operating theatres and clean rooms.
Areas operating electrically sensitive diagnosis equipment or electrically sensitive manufacturing equipment require preventative measures to prevent the build-up of static electricity.
In addition, the healthcare sector must comply with HACCP standards in areas handling food, and HBN-00-10 standards when considering its flooring. Resin is an ideal choice for line demarcation, zoning pedestrian areas, infection control, storage, and emergency zones.
