Tremco treatment for clean room demands

Hospital designers seek product solutions achieving high performance such as those offered by Tremco's clean zone systems.

Strict NHS guidelines, the long term responsibility being taken by PFI contractors and the constant spectre of negligence claims is forcing all involved with hospital design to seek product solutions achieving high performance such as those offered by Tremco's clean zone systems.

'Tremco's clean zone systems: Supporting the Design and Specification of Clean Zone Floor and Wall Finishes within the Healthcare Sector' is a new publication which sets out both the manufacturer's experience in the field and its current range of fully compatible products.

The guide details how the company can offer clients a complete inspection, design, supply and installation monitoring service.

Building on its 75 years in the business of supplying construction coatings, Tremco works with its network of approved installers to offer the best possible performance, reliability and cost effectiveness.

This includes products or systems specifically formulated for the walls, ceilings and floors of hospital operating theatres, radiology departments, laboratories and other sensitive areas.

Tremco can provide damp proof membranes such as the well proven Treadfast ES3000 and Treadfast One Coat Universal.

The ability of a dry substrate to form the foundation for a hardwearing and easy to maintain floor surface can further be enhanced by the use of one of Tremco's smoothing compounds.

Optimising strength, these are independently accredited to HTM 61.

Resin based treatments such as Epoxyfloor Smooth, Rapide Systems or Drycote can then be applied as a protective and decorative floor finish offering both good grip and resistance to spillages.

Walls and ceilings also require finishes which will remain easy to clean and which will help combat the spread of hospital acquired infections like MRSA.

Tretoplast WB is a ready-to-use elastomeric coating formulated to create a seamless coating to surfaces such as plasterwork, concrete and laminates or even ceramic tiling.

It will offer effective protection against mould and bacteria in sensitive situations.

Tylex WB, meanwhile, is a resin based decorative coating able to offer a durable eggshell finish in locations like kitchens, washrooms and laundry rooms.

Tylex WB carries Class 1 certification for fire safety situations.

Tretoshield Soffiguard offers Class 0 performance for the spread of flame and is intended to give some sterile properties for non-aseptic areas such as corridors and waiting rooms.

As a widely experienced and highly respected manufacturer of specialist coatings for clean room applications, Tremco Limited is happy to provide healthcare and construction professionals with full support in terms of consultation, survey and analysis of problem areas, as well the as development of specifications for new build or refurbishment schemes.
