HygieneGlaze – Duravit’s unique, patented ceramic glaze for environmentally friendly bathroom hygiene – has evolved. In addition to its highly efficient, antibacterial 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. This keeps the ceramic looking and feeling as perfect as the day it was installed.
The long-lasting cleanliness of the ceramic 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 environmental impact.
Lasting and efficient hygiene
HygieneGlaze® Plus works based on the oligodynamic effect – the harmful effect of positively charged metal ions on bacteria – this is integrated into the glaze during the firing process. This manufacturing process ensures a lasting effect, leading to a dynamic reduction in pathogens such as escherichia coli. After just six hours, 90 per cent of the bacteria have been eliminated, rising to an excellent hygiene level of 99.99 per cent 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 colours supplied (White, White Satin Matt, Black, Matt Black). Other series are already being planned.
