African Specialist Polymers

Healthcare flooring

The floor in a healthcare facility must project an environment that is safe and comfortable and induces a feeling of reassurance and calmness for patients, staff and visitors. These floors must be durable, hygienic and easy to clean and maintain. Slip resistance and a level of softness underfoot is also essential.

African Specialist Polymers (Pty) Ltd recognises the need for a purpose inspired specialist coatings supplier who can service both the Southern African and African markets. The company provides specifications and solutions for various market sectors including the HEALTHCARE industry.

African Specialist Polymers offers a range of high quality, performance orientated epoxy based coatings that are ideal for reception areas, pharmacies, wards and corridors. These are seamless and impervious coatings that provide clean spaces where germs can be eliminated quickly and easily. Our polyurethane based coatings which incorporates an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould, mildew and algae are suited for back of house areas such as kitchens and laundries. These systems offer excellent durability, chemical resistance, thermal shock resistance, impact resistance and slip resistance. ASP also offers fast track installation methyl methacrylate coatings that minimises disruption in operations.
