Chemical resistance
Some specific Ecophon products have been designed to withstand the use of common detergents and disinfecting agents.
Our products have been tested for Chemical resistance according to two different standards.
Products tested for medium to high level of chemical resistance:
Hygiene Performance, Hygiene Protec, Hygiene Meditec, Hygiene Black
The products have been exposed to the detergent or disinfecting agents repeatedly and evaluated according to ISO 11998:2006 “Determination of wet-scrub resistance and cleanability of coatings”, with the use of a soft microfiber cloth made of minimum 70% polyester, 200 scrubbing cycles. To pass as approved the surface should be without gloss changes and marks in all angles.
Chemicals are chosen to represent most common detergent and disinfection products.
Products tested for very high level of chemical resistance:
Hygiene Advance
When tested according to ISO2812-1:2017 “Determination of resistance to liquids – Immersion in liquids”, a complete material sample is placed in a receptacle filled with the test chemical and then hermetically sealed. The test object is subjected to each chemical for a period of one, three, six and 24 hours and then examined for visible alterations.
Chemicals are chosen to represent some of the most severe chemicals used in industry and laboratories.
- The respective list of tested chemicals can be found on the product page of the relevant products.
- Always refer to a product’s technical datasheet to ensure its compatibility with the described cleaning methods.
- Always ensure that the corrosion class of the ceiling grids is compatible with the desired cleaning protocol and cleaning products.
