Inluxe ClearShield, along with its coloured version, Inluxe ColourShield is an innovative antimicrobial technology that can be applied to a wide range of Atkar wall and ceiling panels, helping create hygienic interior spaces and reducing the risk of surface contamination.
The antimicrobial protection lasts for the lifetime of the coating, making it an ideal add-on for acoustic and decorative linings specified for highly sensitive hygienic settings such as healthcare and aged care buildings, as well as the education sector and laboratories.
Certified performance
Inluxe ClearShield finish protects wall and ceiling panels through a special coating, containing silver-based ingredients (silver-ion technology), known for their natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. If exposed, the bacteria can’t survive or grow, therefore, reducing the cross-contamination risk.
The technology has been tested by a third party laboratory, specialised in microbiology, according to the JIS Z 2801 and ISO 22196 standards, which represent the most rigorous standards for antimicrobial and antifungal performance.
Conducted on samples of Atkar panels, the test measured the ability of Inluxe ClearShield protection to inhibit the growth of common bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus over a 24-hour period of contact.
Antimicrobial protection without compromising aesthetics
Inluxe ClearShield can be supplied in Matte, Satin or Gloss finish, and allows you to take advantage of the full range of Inluxe Veneer and Colour options (in the Inluxe ColourShield version).
