BIOMAX™ Antimicrobial Wall Cladding: How Silver Ion Technology Protects Hygienic Environments
Why Hygiene Standards Are Higher Than Ever
In sectors such as healthcare, food production, and education, maintaining hygienic surfaces is critical. Traditional wall finishes like tiles and paint can fall short, as grout lines and surface wear provide breeding grounds for bacteria. This is why many businesses are turning to antimicrobial wall cladding solutions. Saniclad’s BIOMAX™ hygienic cladding, powered by silver ion technology, offers long-lasting protection against microbial growth, making it a reliable choice for infection-sensitive environments.
What Is BIOMAX™ Antimicrobial Cladding?
Saniclad’s BIOMAX™ range is manufactured with Biomaster silver ion technology built directly into the panels during production. Unlike antimicrobial coatings that can wear off, this built-in technology ensures consistent performance throughout the product’s lifespan. The result is a durable hygienic cladding solution that combines robust protection with easy cleaning and maintenance.
How Silver Ion Technology Works
Silver ions are widely recognised for their antimicrobial properties. Once integrated into the wall cladding, these ions disrupt the growth and reproduction of harmful microorganisms by:
- Damaging microbial cell membranes
- Interfering with metabolism
- Inhibiting DNA replication
Because the technology is fully embedded into the panel, it does not wash away or lose effectiveness over time. This ensures continuous antimicrobial protection in any setting where hygiene is paramount.
Proven Antimicrobial Performance
Independent testing of BIOMAX™ has shown outstanding results:
- E. coli reduction of 99.99%
- Staphylococcus aureus reduction of 99.98%
- SARS-CoV-2 reduction of 61.98% in 4 hours, rising to 87.98% after 24 hours
These figures demonstrate how Saniclad BIOMAX™ cladding can significantly reduce microbial presence on wall surfaces. Importantly, this technology is designed to complement, not replace, cleaning protocols. Regular hygiene practices remain essential, but BIOMAX™ offers an additional layer of defence.
Key Benefits of BIOMAX™ Hygienic Cladding
- Lifetime antimicrobial protection – Silver ions remain active for the life of the panel.
- Durable and fire-rated – BIOMAX™ is Class 0–1 fire rated and resistant to water ingress.
- Backed by warranty – 20-year defect warranty for long-term peace of mind.
