PERMABLOK3® ADVANCED VINYL PROTECTION
PERMABLOK3® from Spradling is a proven vinyl protective coating that's engineered to create a tough, effective barrier against the the three biggest problems encountered in healthcare and hospitality environments. Germs, Abrasion, and Stains. You can't see it. Or feel it. Yet the protection it offers results in extended performance and lasting beauty with a minimum of care.
SUPERIOR ANTIBACTERIAL PROTECTION
PERMABLOK3® results in a more hygienic environment, because germ counts can be kept down. Importantly, it also guards against the surface growth of fungus, mold and mildew spores which can cause unpleasant odors, unsightly pink and black stain, even allergic reactions. Which means vinyl's treated with PERMABLOK3® not only keep their good looks, they remain highly resistant to microbial deterioration which can cause cracking, spitting and loss of flexibility.
So from any standpoint - hygienic, cosmetic or structural, PERMABLOK3® offers superior bacterial protection that healthcare and hospitality industries can really count on.
SUPERIOR ANTISTAIN PROTECTION
When caught quickly, most everyday stains like grease, blood, suntan, lotion,crayon, ketchup and black felt tip pens can be wiped right off vinyl's treated with PERMABLOK3®. Just use mild soap and water, For more stubborn stains, a variety of concentrated and solvent type cleansers may be used with out damaging the surface. Including alcohol, naphtha and bleach. (Abrasive household cleansers and steel wool should be avoided - see the guide below for complete care and cleaning procedures.)
