Although any space, which is in contact with people has to have certain hygiene and safety conditions, there are some places where health standards have to be extremely high indeed.
We are talking about sanitary spaces, where every single detail which may affect the hygiene of the space is taken into account. Whether they are clinics, hospitals, medical consultations or beauty salons; healthcare atmospheres need to bank on materials, tools and protocols which ensure bacteria-free spaces with no contaminants.
The ease of contagion, along with the susceptibility of the people that go to a medical centre, results in stronger measures being taken. Thus, businessmen, architects and interior designers are increasingly banking on those solutions which enhance safety for people.
Because of the need of becoming familiarised with the materials which benefit the atmospheres related to health, Hospitecnia, the prestigious architecture, engineering and hospital management website has published an article about KrionTM K·Life and how the photocatalytic material creates better hospital atmospheres.
KrionTM K·Life is provided with the KEAST technology, which is able to purify the air thanks to the photocatalysis. So, what is the photocatalysis? As we have already seen in this explanatory post about Krion K·Life, the photocatalysis occurs when light hits the surface of certain minerals causing them to come into contact with the humidity and oxygen in the environment. From this mixture, molecules which have the ability to join to other contaminating particles in the environment, produce complex molecules that are not harmful to humans.
The main requirement for a material to be used in public spaces is that of having been given a number of certifications by independent organizations which ensure the safety of the facilities and people alike. Krion counts on the EPD (Environmental Product Declaration): with the ecolabel type III which focuses on the impact studies during the whole service life of the material, detailing the impact which is produced in each stage of the service life.
Among the huge number of benefits of KrionTM K·Lifefor the health sector, professionals highlight the following:
The KrionTM solid surface brings together the most important properties from our clients point of view, but, with the implementation of the Keast technology, these benefits have significantly increased, up to the point where they make the environment better for people, something which is essential in any atmosphere.
