Permablok3®

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. SUPERIOR PROTECTION AGAINST GERMS PERMABLOK3® 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 PERMABLOK3® 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, PERMABLOK3® offers superior bacterial protection that healthcare and hospitality industries can really count on. Virucidal Activity PERMABLOK3® is an effective barrier against the virus as is certified with: ISO 18184: reduction of Coronavirus* presence by more than 90% within one hour of contact. ISO 21702: reduction of Coronavirus* activity by 99,9% within 24 hours of exposure on the surface. Bacteriostatic Properties PERMABLOK3® ensures free from bacteria upholstered surfaces as is certified with: ISO 22196: Value of antibacterial** activity R>2. * Testing was conducted with material exposed to Feline Coronavirus (same coronaviridae family, structures, and mechanisms similar to SARS-Cov2). ** Testing was conducted with material exposed to Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. SUPERIOR ANTI-STAIN PROTECTION When caught quickly, most everyday stains like grease, blood, suntan lotion, crayon, and ketchup can be wiped right off vinyl protected with PERMABLOK3®. 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.)” SUPERIOR ANTIFUNGAL PROTECTION PERMABLOK3® offers unsurpassed antifungal protection by resisting gram positive and gram negative bacteria, filamentous fungi, and yeast.
