Biostop, the ceramic that eliminates bacteria

WHAT PROBLEM WE SOLVE

Biostop helps avoid floor and wall contamination caused by pathogenic bacteria in public use spaces and notably increases the level of sanitary security.

FOR WHAT SPACES IS IT ADEQUATE

Public use spaces such as: industrial kitchens, food industry, food handling spaces, restaurants, healthcare centers and hospitals, sport and swimming centers, hotels and spas.

WHAT IS BIOSTOP

Biostop is the first complete ceramic solution that eliminates bacteria. It is composed of 4 elements with powerful antibacterial action: paving + hygienic baseboard + covering + tile-to-tile joint.

HOW DOES IT ACT

The great innovation presented by Biostop is that it acts upon the whole ceramic surface because the tile-to-tile joints are also antibacterial. Installing the complete solution Biostop makes it possible to create a space that is completely germ-proof and auto-protected from bacteria.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS

Biostop‘s antibacterial properties are due to the use of silver nano-particles that are integrated during the production process of the porcelain stoneware before cooking it. The combination of silver nano-particles and humidity liberates silver ions. The silver ions prevent the microbial metabolism and in a very short time the bacteria disappears completely.

 

BIOSTOP VALUES

> Broad antibacterial action
Contact with a Biostop surface eliminates 99.99 % of bacteria.

> Permanent auto-protection: Biostop‘s anti-bacterial action is permanent, it doesn’t diminish over time and it doesn’t require any sort of maintenance.

> It works day and night, 24h, indoors and outdoors: Biostop doesn’t require the presence of light to activate its antibacterial properties.

> It is high quality porcelain stoneware: The high physical and chemical resistance properties of Rosa Gres tiles remain intact.

> It is not toxic: Biostop is completely harmless for human health.

> It reduces smells: Biostop avoids the bad smells caused by bacterial degradation on the tile surface.

> A more efficient disinfection: Constant antibacterial action is the ideal complement for regular surface cleaning.
