Cristalplant® Bio Active
Unmistakable design, uncompromising quality and a continuous search for excellence: these are the elements that have always distinguished Falper.
The company, specialized in the production of superior quality bathroom furnishing elements, announces an important new innovation in terms of sustainability and innovation: all the products in the catalog will be available in the latest generation Cristalplant® Bio Active material.
Falper was among the first companies to use the innovative Cristalplant® Biobased, the first eco-sustainable solid-surface. The material is composed mostly of mineral fillers of high purity aluminum trihydrates bound by plant-based resins, and is known for its natural stone-like beauty and elegant soft touch effect.
In the new Bio Active version, the aesthetics and technology of Cristalplant® are enriched with important virucidal, antifungal and self-cleaning properties thanks to a new formulation based on titanium dioxide.
The photolytic property of this compound allows us to start a chemical reaction that leads to the destruction of bacteria and viruses deposited on the surface, including Covid-19, thanks to simple exposure to light, natural or artificial. Furthermore, titanium dioxide does not degrade and has a long-term antibacterial and virucidal effect, as well as more effective disinfection properties than those obtained with chlorine and ozone. The test report issued by UOCMV confirms that “from the culture examination, Cristalplant® Bio Active surfaces demonstrated virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2 after a contact time of 30’ and 60’“.
Cristalplant® Bio Active is a solution designed for both domestic environments and contract projects. The properties and certifications of this material, in fact, make it perfect for use within bathroom environments in the hospitality sector and public spaces, guaranteeing guests and customers the peace of mind of coming into contact with safe and sanitized surfaces 24 hours a day.
Falper washbasins and tubs made of Cristalplant® Bio Active, in addition to the virucid, antifungal and self-cleaning properties of the new formulation, are certified with all Cristalplant® Biobased certificates, such as Gold Certificate Green Guard by LEED® (the US energy efficiency and ecological footprint classification system); they resist light, avoiding yellowing over time, to scratches and breaks and are easily restored.
Particular attention is also paid to the issue of sustainability: Cristalplant® Bio Active has BIO origins, with the emission of UL certified volatile substances, and is completely recyclable, hypoallergenic and non-toxic.
To underline the unique performance of this material, Falper has also chosen to offer a 5-year guarantee on all products made of Cristalplant®.
