Do You Have Paint Suitable for Hospitals?

In public spaces, a lot is required of paint: surfaces are subjected to hard wear and intensive cleaning. With the right type of paint, it is also possible to prevent the bacteria from growing on the surfaces and thus reduce the number of contagious infections.

In public spaces, wall and ceiling surfaces must fulfil very high requirements of durability and hygiene. For this kind of use, we have developed Argentum 20, a special finishing paint that forms a hygienic surface that is easy to keep clean. The product contains active silver as an effective agent that will, together with good hygiene, prevent bacterial growth on painted surfaces.

Argentum 20 is a water-borne, semi-matt special finishing paint for professional use on walls and ceilings that require a high level of hygiene. It is suitable for hospitals, other healthcare facilities and service homes among others. Argentum 20 tolerates heavy use in challenging environments and repeated cleaning with detergents and disinfectants used in hospitals, for example.

Where a full anti-bacterial system is not required, Tikkurila's Luja system is also suitable for repeated cleaning with hospital grade detergents

• Prime with one coat of Luja Universal Primer
• Topcoat x 2 with Luja 7, Luja 20 or Luja 40, depending on the sheen level required
