We regularly get queries from Facilities managers and Maintenance Managers looking for advice on what coatings to use. A frequent query that we receive is with regard to floor coatings in clean rooms.
You have a number of floor coating options for clean rooms. The most commonly used coatings are the following:
1. Pegakote – A two pack water based epoxy. Excellent resistance to abrasion and/or chemical attack. Suitable for daily washing and constant traffic. Fully certified and recommended for the health and food industry. For further information (including data sheets) please see:

2. Biosan – a high-tech two pack epoxy. Specifically designed for medical and surgical environments. Extremely high resistance to chemical attack and abrasion resistance. For further information (including data sheets) please see:
Paintshop Website Hygienic Coatings
Pegakote is used more in the food industry and Biosan is predominantly used in the medical/pharmaceutical industry. Biosan is the more high-tech of the two (it contains active ingredients that kill bacteria/moulds/growths etc.), which means it is more expensive than standard hygienic coatings. Biosan is top of the range in terms of hygienic coatings.
If you have any queries regarding either coating contact Kate at: kate@paintshop.ie
