PROTECTION AGAINST GERMS, ABRASIONS, AND STAINS

A vinyl protective coating engineered to create a tough, effective barrier against the three biggest problems encountered in healthcare and hospitality environments: germs, abrasions and stains. You can’t see it or feel it, yet the protection it offers results in extended performance and lasting beauty with a minimum of care.

PERMABLOK^3® results in a more hygienic environment because germ counts can be kept down. Importantly, it also guards against the surface growth of fungus, mould, and mildew spores which can cause unpleasant odours, unsightly pink and black stains, even allergic reactions. This means that vinyl protected with PERMABLOK^3® not only keeps its good looks, but also remains highly resistant to deterioration such as cracking, splitting, and loss of flexibility. So from any standpoint, hygienic, cosmetic, or structural, PERMABLOK^3® offers superior bacterial protection that healthcare and hospitality industries can really count on.

When caught quickly, most everyday stains like grease, blood, suntan lotion, crayon, and ketchup can be wiped right off vinyl protected with PERMABLOK^3®. Just use mild soap and water. If there is any build-up that can’t be removed with soapy water, then use this as a last resort. Mixture: 1 part isopropyl alcohol to 1 part water. (Remember, using alcohol on a regular basis can affect the properties of the product. Abrasive household cleaners and steel wool should be avoided - see the Care and Cleaning Guide for complete instructions.)”
