Hughes Safety Showers Continuous Improvement Program

CliniCoat UA
As part of the Hughes Safety Showers continuous improvement program we have introduced
new measures in both the manufacture and servicing of our Safety Showers to control the growth
and spread of bacteria. All Tanks are coated in CliniCoat UA as part of our hygiene and infection
control protocols. When CliniCoat UA is applied to the surface it forms a Self-Sanitizing Treatment
(SST) to protect against bacteria, Virus and Fungus, Treated surfaces do not require re-application, however they
should be regularly cleaned using our approved protocols.
Benefits and Standards
Non toxic Meets BS EN ISO Standards
Odorless Manufactured under EC Directives
Non-leaching, can be used on food Strong chemical bonding process
preparation surfaces
