BIODEX - Water-based Elastomeric Biostatic Coating Range.

Flexcrete's BIODEX range comprises high build surface coatings in a variety of finishes to meet the needs of every hygiene sensitive environment. They are applied to walls and ceilings to prevent the growth of mould and bacteria in food preparation or production areas, brewing and beverage industries, hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry and in kitchens or bathrooms. BIODEX membranes are manufactured in a wide range of attractive colours for high quality, durable decoration even in conditions of high humidity or extremes of temperature.

Advantages of Biodex

  • Long lasting with complete in-film protection throughout the life of the applied coating.
  • Effective against a wide variety of micro-organisms whilst being totally non-toxic.
  • Single pack, water-based formulations with no flash point and very low odour.
  • Permanently elastomeric nature accommodates thermal movement without cracking, flaking or splitting.
  • Low hazard, water based products. Equipment easily cleaned with water.
  • Inherently vapour permeable to allow substrates to breathe and dry out without blistering, whilst preventing water ingress even during regular cleaning.
  • High opacity gives excellent obliteration to cover underlying colours.
  • Easily reinforced locally over cracks and joints, or overall to effectively seal crazed surfaces.
  • Low maintenance coatings, easy to clean and refurbish.
  • Available in a wide range of attractive colours (see the Biodex Colour Guide).

The BIODEX range of resin-rich biostatic membranes benefits from the latest encapsulated biocide technology to give completely safe use and zero leaching into the surrounding environment. This latest generation of in-film protection allows for the ultra slow controlled release of active ingredients into the coating film throughout the long life. Utilising the most modern chemistry, BIODEX membranes effectively prevent the growth of mould and bacteria whilst forming a totally non-toxic film which does not taint items stored in close proximity. The advanced styrene acrylic micropolymer resin binder cross links to give excellent adhesion which will be unaffected in conditions of elevated humidity. BIODEX membranes are vapour permeable, and the elastomeric nature facilitates movement in the substrate, thus bridging hairline cracks to give outstanding durability. BIODEX membranes can be reinforced either locally or overall to accommodate higher levels of substrate movement..
