Chemical resistance

Metal ceilings are resistant* to 2.5% sodium hypochlorite, 6% hydrogen peroxide, or 70% ethanol disinfectants. However, we recommend certain disinfectants based on the type of ceiling:

  • 2.5% sodium hypochlorite: no visual changes on all ceilings
  • 6% hydrogen peroxide: only black post-lacquered ceilings show minor visual changes, no visual changes are observed on other ceilings
  • 70% ethanol: only white pre-lacquered, black post-lacquered, and wood finish ceilings show minor visual changes, no visual changes are observed on other ceilings

This also applies to all pre-lacquered/post-lacquered steel or aluminum products from the ALPHA, ALPHA PLUS, and DECIBEL ranges.*exposure according to EN 12720; disinfection and wet abrasion according to ISO 11998
