Cristalplant® Bio Active
Distinctive design, uncompromising quality, and a constant pursuit of excellence — these are the hallmarks that have always defined Falper.
The company, specialized in the production of superior-quality bathroom furnishings, announces an important new development in sustainability and innovation: all products in the collection will now be available in the latest-generation material Cristalplant® Bio Active.
Falper was among the first companies to use the innovative Cristalplant® Biobased, the first eco-sustainable solid surface. This material is composed mainly of high-purity aluminium tri-hydrate mineral fillers bound with plant-based resins, renowned for its beauty reminiscent of natural stone and its elegant soft-touch effect.
In the new Bio Active version, the aesthetic and technological qualities of Cristalplant® are enhanced with powerful virucidal, antifungal, and self-cleaning properties, thanks to a new titanium dioxide-based formulation.
The photocatalytic property of this compound triggers a chemical reaction that destroys bacteria and viruses on the surface, including Covid-19, through simple exposure to natural or artificial light. Moreover, titanium dioxide does not degrade over time, offering long-term antibacterial and virucidal effectiveness, with disinfecting power even greater than that of chlorine or ozone. A test report issued by UOCMV confirms that “from the culture test, Cristalplant® Bio Active surfaces demonstrated virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2 after a contact time of 30 and 60 minutes.”
Cristalplant® Bio Active is an ideal solution for both residential and contract projects. Thanks to its certified hygienic and antibacterial properties, it is perfectly suited for use in hospitality and public bathroom environments, ensuring guests and clients the peace of mind of coming into contact with safe, sanitised surfaces 24/7.
Falper’s washbasins and bathtubs made in Cristalplant® Bio Active, in addition to the material’s virucidal, antifungal, and self-cleaning properties, are certified with all Cristalplant® Biobased attestations, including the LEED® Gold Green Guard Certificate (the U.S. system for rating energy efficiency and environmental footprint), and are resistant to light (preventing yellowing), scratches, and breakage, while being easily restorable.
Sustainability remains a key focus: Cristalplant® Bio Active is BIO-based, UL-certified for low VOC emissions, completely recyclable, hypoallergenic, and non-toxic.
To further underline the outstanding performance of this material, Falper offers a 5-year warranty on all products made in Cristalplant®.
