Plastic wall panels are a practical wall covering
Plastic wall panels are incredibly practical. Given that they are strong and virtually unbreakable, they are practically the perfect choice in numerous industrial fields, such as the food industry. But they are also an excellent choice in many respects in the chemical industry and pharmaceutical manufacturing for covering wall surfaces and ceilings. Below we briefly present the beneficial properties of plastic wall panels, detail the application areas, and give a short overview of how plastic wall panels are fitted.
Let's start with the surface texture of plastic wall panels
Every one of the plastic wall panels we distribute, the FRP panels, has a textured surface. It is thanks to this texture that dirt does not stick to it at all, and that the panels are significantly more resistant to scratching than if their surface were smooth. This texture also enables effective diffusion of light reflection, as well as reducing unpleasant glare.
As mentioned above, dust, dirt and bacteria are less able to adhere to the textured surface of plastic wall panels than to a smooth surface. On the textured surface, a droplet of liquid rolls off rather than sliding and sticking, so the rolling droplets are able to carry surface soiling away with them more effectively. They are practically self-cleaning, thanks to the tiny hemispherical bumps formed on the surface of the panels. It is precisely this property that allows them to meet the strict hygiene requirements of, for example, hospitals and healthcare institutions.
A brief summary of the characteristic properties of plastic wall panels
Before we start the list, let's highlight in a little more detail perhaps the two most important properties of plastic wall panels. They are antibacterial and mould-inhibiting wall panels, which, thanks to their previously described surface properties, resist pathogenic bacteria and fungi with 99.99% effectiveness, such as MRSA, E. coli, Salmonella, Aspergillus niger, Legionella, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, etc. Plastic wall panels also have excellent chemical resistance against acids, alkalis and alcohols.

And finally, let's look at how to clean it
It can be cleaned with both water and household detergent. A steam cleaner or a high-pressure water jet can also be used for cleaning. The panels are extremely easy to keep clean. Stubborn soiling can be removed with trichloroethylene or with thinner. Take care not to use strong corrosive acids. Check the list to see which agents are suitable for cleaning.
