In industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, cold storage, and healthcare, maintaining controlled environments is essential for safety, quality, and operational efficiency. These spaces are carefully designed to minimise contamination risks, and selecting the right materials is critical for meeting durability, hygiene, and regulatory standards.
Advantica® CL Clean, a product from the pre-finished steel range that we stock, is engineered to meet these demands. This product has been developed as an industry-leading solution for controlled environments where hygiene and ease of maintenance are paramount.
Advantages of Choosing Advantica® CL Clean
Here are some of the key benefits of choosing Advantica® CL Clean for controlled environments:
- Easy Maintenance: The PET (polyethylene terephthalate)-coated surface is designed for fast, efficient cleaning, ensuring that contaminants are easily removed and supporting strict sanitation standards.
- Rigorous Testing: Advantica® CL Clean meets stringent EU food safety standards (EN 1186-1), making it safe for use in applications that require direct or indirect food contact. This certification ensures that surfaces can handle food safely, free from risk of contamination.
- VOC and Taint-Free Properties: Tested for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Advantica® CL Clean is certified with an A+ rating, ensuring that it doesn’t release harmful substances into the environment – which makes it ideal for spaces where air purity is essential. Testing has been conducted in accordance with EN 16000-9 by an independent laboratory.
- Durability and Food Safety: With a PET (a type of polyester) outer layer, the product is resistant to stains and corrosion and is food safe. This resilience makes it suitable for high-traffic and high-maintenance areas, where durability is critical to prevent wear and contamination.
- Temperature and Chemical Tolerance: Advantica® CL Clean withstands a range of temperatures, supporting cold storage and other environments where temperature stability is vital. Its inert properties make it compatible with common cleaning agents and sanitisers.
- Comprehensive Guarantee: It is backed with a project-based guarantee of up to 10 years.
Applications of Advantica® CL Clean in Controlled Environments
Food Processing Facilities:
- Hygiene and Safety: In food processing, purity is essential. Advantica® CL Clean’s smooth, non-porous surfaces resist staining and facilitate regular cleaning without affecting food quality. This keeps food processing areas safer and reduces contamination risks.
- Long-Term Reliability: The product comes with a project-based guarantee, offering facilities the assurance of consistent performance over time.
Pharmaceutical and Clean Room Environments:
- Smooth, Easy-to-Clean Surfaces: In clean rooms and pharmaceutical facilities, reducing dust and dirt is essential to avoid cross-contamination. The PET coating on Advantica® CL Clean repels dust, while its smooth surface enables efficient, thorough cleaning.
- Chemical Resistance: Pharmaceutical facilities require regular sanitation with specialised chemicals. Advantica® CL Clean’s corrosion-resistant properties ensure that it remains intact and effective, even under frequent disinfection regimes.
Cold Storage and Refrigeration:
- Corrosion Resistance and Durability: Cold storage units must withstand temperature fluctuations and resist moisture build-up, which can lead to corrosion. The PET layer protects surfaces from rust, ensuring the long-term performance of walls, ceilings, and doors in temperature-controlled environments.
- Temperature Stability: Designed to perform in low-temperature settings, it is ideal for refrigerated storage, where reliable insulation and moisture control are essential for preserving perishable goods.
Medical and Healthcare Facilities:
- High-Traffic Durability: Medical environments are subject to stringent cleaning protocols. Advantica® CL Clean has a robust surface that can withstand frequent disinfection, helping to prevent the spread of infections in sensitive areas like hospital wards and operating rooms.
- Long-Lasting Cleanliness: Resistant to harsh cleaning agents, Advantica® CL Clean maintains its surface integrity in high-traffic areas, supporting the hygiene needs of healthcare settings.
