• Evolution of patented HygieneGlaze® manufacturing process
• Optimized bathroom hygiene
• Fewer deposits of dirt and limescale
• Long-lasting cleanliness
• Permanent and efficient reduction of pathogens
HygieneGlaze® – the unique, patented ceramic glaze for environmentally friendly bathroom hygiene – has evolved. As well as its highly efficient, anti-bacterial effect, the HygieneGlaze® Plus ceramic surface offers outstanding levels of cleanliness and even greater ease of cleaning. This effect has been achieved by altering the surface tension following a modification of the glaze.
Fewer deposits, greater cleanliness
The smooth, low-adhesion surface texture of HygieneGlaze® Plus means that dirt and limescale particles are even easier to rinse off with water, which keeps the ceramic looking and feeling as perfect as on the first day. The long-lasting cleanliness of the ceramic also makes cleaning noticeably easier, which generates economic benefits in facilities with a high user frequency such as public toilets. In addition, the reduced use of cleaning products lowers the impact on the environment.
Lasting and efficient hygiene
HygieneGlaze® Plus works on the basis of the oligodynamic effect – the harmful effect of positively charged metal ions on bacteria – and is integrated into the glaze during the firing process. This manufacturing process ensures a lasting effect and thus an extremely dynamic reduction in pathogens such as escherichia coli. After just six hours, 90 percent of the bacteria have been eliminated, rising to an excellent hygiene level of 99.99 percent after 24 hours.
Aurena complete with HygieneGlaze® Plus
Aurena by Antonio Citterio is the first complete ceramic series to be launched with the HygieneGlaze® Plus surface. This extends to washbasins, toilets, and bidets as well as all ceramic colors supplied (White, White Satin Matt, Black, Matt Black). Other series are already being planned.
