Hygienilac concept

Why is Hygienilac different to other anti-bacterial finishes?

Hygienilac works by preventing the bacteria’s access to nutrients so their growth is inhibited and they will starve and die. It has a kill rate of 99.9 per cent over a 24-hour period and remains effective for years because of its inherently low water solubility. It does not employ silver technology and is completely UV stable. It is non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic and non-skin sensitising.

Hygienilac has passed British Standard 6250 tests for severe usage and its active ingredient has approvals from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health and Safety Executive (HSE) - for indirect or incidental food contact - and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It has also been given a Point 3 endorsement by the NHS Infection Control Rapid Review Panel (Surface Coating Category).

Hygienilac has been tested and independently verified by laboratories which endorse the 99.9% kill rate of the bacteria listed. Evidence is available on request.

  • MRSA
  • Listeria monocytogenes
  • Clostridium difficile
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Salmonella enteriditis
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae
  • Aspergillus niger
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Penicillium purpurogenum
  • Bacillus cereus
  • Saccharmyces cerevisiae
  • Escherichia coli

Hygienilac is applied to all veneered doorset and does not inhibit or reduce any of the performance chraracteristics available.

A complete solution for Healthcare projects

HygienilacFinding ways to combat against Healthcare Associated Infections (HCAI) is top on the agenda for all those associated with specifying products in the Healthcare sector.

All veneered doorsets from Leaderflush Shapland now come complete with Hygienilac, an anti-bacterial coating that kills the bacteria which cause HCAI.

In addition to this anti-bacterial coating, Leaderflush Shapland can also provide a range of products suitable for both primary healthcare and hospital projects. These include Intelliglass obscurable vision panels and Leadline radiation shielding doorsets.
