SteriFloor: Antimicrobial protection for the entire floor lifetime

Controlling or eliminating bacteria growth is a continual battle in the food and beverage manufacturing industry. As a result, the SteriFloor suite was born out of a passion to eliminate bacteria growth on food manufacturing floors. The SteriFloor range has been designed to tackle multiple challenges within this industry, with each product containing our world-leading antimicrobial technology. This technology has been created to last the lifetime of the floor. We understand that multiple cleaners are often used in food factories, so our antimicrobial technology has been developed to withstand this.

Each of our SteriFloor products answers a particular need in the industry, whether it be a tight timeframe, heavy foot and forklift traffic, an oily floor, a maximum hygiene area, or extreme temperature variances. The primary features of each product cross over, but each specialise in answering a particular need. Each solution is fire resistant, odourless, and easy to clean. Multiple non-slip grades are available for each solution, with our team being able to provide recommendations based on your needs and requirements. We work in with Quality Assurance teams to ensure that the non-slip film does not compromise food safety and quality.

SteriFloor Schnell is one product that is ideal for manufacturing facilities that have tight downtime windows. From start to completion, using Schnell, clients are able to use the floor within eight hours. This is a completely cured, food safe floor, available for foot and forklift traffic within a matter of hours.

Similarly to Schnell, Beschützen is a fast-curing solution, however more durable, and suitable for production areas and other areas with heavy foot and forklift traffic. With excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, Beschützen is known for its long-term durability.

Allied Finishes has worked with the food and beverage manufacturing industry for over eight years, so we understand the conditions that these floors will be subject to and see the need to exceed these requirements. We aim at reducing production downtime and delivering uptime to our customers. The SteriFloor range has been designed and developed with durability and longevity forefront of mind. Each solution is HACCP certified, Green Star Compliant, and ISO 9001 Certified.

Product development and innovation is a core part of Allied Finishes’ business. To forge ahead in this industry, Allied Finishes has recently acquired an Intern from the Queensland University of Technology, Jayanti Mendhi, to assist in the development of antimicrobial flooring solutions. Jayanti has significant experience in working with antimicrobial coatings, and has said that she is “really excited about applying her knowledge about antimicrobial coatings and materials science research in the industry”. Working with Tim Dargaville (PhD in Philosophy), Jayanti will be researching and performing multiple tests to provide her recommendations for significant improvements to our products to ensure they are the best available for the Food & Beverage Industry of Australia.
