Hygienic Coatings by Sika
Sika’s hygienic coatings for walls and ceilings are world renown and specifically designed to meet both the functional and aesthetic demands of environments where the highest standards of hygiene are essential. These coatings are extensively used in critical areas such as healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical production, and food manufacturing, where health and safety are of utmost importance.
Following Sika’s acquisition of Liquid Plastics Ltd, Sika has continued supplying the extremely well-known and well-used Steridex, Sterisheen, and Sterimatt products (rebranded as Sikagard 403W, 405W, and 406W).
Goss has been applying Steridex, Sterisheen, and Sterimatt since 1988, including spray-applied, conventionally applied, and fibreglass-reinforced coating variants.
