Krion pos plus

Surround ourselves with due to their capacity to harbour infectious organisms, which is why surfaces that help to reduce this capacity from the outset are highly beneficial. This is the case with Krion® K-LIFE 1100.Krion® K-LIFE 1100 has been tested against variants of respiratory viruses, the Influenza A virus, responsible for all cases of seasonal influenza outbreaks, and a non-lethal variant of coronavirus, CoV-NL63. Both can be spread through the air, by sneezing, or by being deposited on fomites.To make the trial more representative, an inert material has also been tested as a reference for materials used to prevent viral infection and used in the field of safety, i.e. plastic. Plastics are essential as barriers with humans, food, hygienic materials and safety areas. There are some studies that assess the durability of viruses on plastic surfaces. For this reason, we have decided to compare both Krion® K-LIFE 1100 and plastic to see how they perform against pathogenic micro-organisms.The trial was conducted by Virology Research Services Ltd, a specialist virus research consultancy in the UK. Influenza A virus and human coronavirus NL63 were deposited on untreated Krion® K-LIFE 1100 samples. The trial was based on a modification of ISO 21702, antiviral activity of plastics and non-porous surfaces.After 2, 24 and 48 hours (in the case of Influenza A virus) and 24, 48 and 72 hours (in the case of CoV-NL63), the virus was cultured on both surfaces, plastic and Krion® K-LIFE 1100, and the amount of infectious load was quantified. It was observed that, in the case of the coronavirus on Krion® K-LIFE 1100, at 24 hours the infective capacity was reduced by 82.22% compared to 55.28% on the plastic; and that with the Influenza A virus, the reduction was 88.75% on Krion® K-LIFE 1100 in the first 2 hours and only 18.44% on the plastic.Considering the results, the rapid reduction of virus infectivity over time can be observed in an excellent material such as Krion® K-LIFE 1100, especially in early contact. This characteristic is a strong point for a material used in living areas, since in just a few minutes the infective capacity is drastically reduced, decreasing the chances of infection.Krion® K·LIFE 1100, a responsible materialIf there is one thing that characterises the recent history of our planet, it is the serious ecological crisis in which it is immersed. Not only due to climate change and its effects, but also because of the alarming loss of biodiversity and the environmental, economic and social consequences this entails.The objective of our material goes beyond caring for people's health as it also achieves a high level of environmental awareness. For this reason, toxicological tests have been carried out on Krion® K-LIFE 1100, in collaboration with the Valencian Institute of Microbiology (IVAMI), to determine the possible ecotoxicity of the material. After these tests, it was determined that the interaction of Krion® K-LIFE 1100 with nature is zero, it being an inert material for the environment, thus not potentially causing an accidental release into the

Objet Particulier and Krion®, tradition and innovation united in unique creations The Objet Particulier marquetry workshop is distinguished by its maintenance of tradition and ability to innovate. It designs and produces refined decorative coverings for architects and interior designers, working by hand with historical and simple natural materials such as rye straw, galuchat (fish skin) or parchment (goat or sheep skin).Its founder and creative director, Mamen Diego, plays with techniques and materials in a constant exercise of cross-innovation to give new value to the technique of marquetry and weaving.Embedding of pallets on Krion®Tradition and modernity:... cross-innovationToday's interior architecture, whether ephemeral or permanent projects, seeks lightness and ease of installation, especially in the case of large-format pieces.In this context, Mamen Diego's ambition to perpetuate the beauty of classical marquetry processes has led her to study the use of new support materials for her creations, which are lighter and more flexible than wood. Her innovative strength is reflected in the use of new materials as supports, such as the solid surface Krion® from Krion

Key approach to tableware designThe properties of Krion® make the material a safe choice that adds high value to the design. Thanks to its physical characteristics, it is a material that guarantees the safety and hygiene essential in this sector.Its almost zero porosity prevents the non-accumulation and proliferation of microorganisms on its surface, offering the asepsis necessary for direct contact with foodstuffs.Its low thermal conductivity allows it to maintain the temperature of the dish, whether hot or cold, for longer periods of time, preventing food from losing its organoleptic properties. Lightweight and easy to clean and maintain, Krion® can be worked in the same way as wood, facilitating its handling and design by professionals in the sector. Its high mineral composition makes it resistant to damage that can be caused in a kitchen, such as scratches, stains, marks, cracks or knocks. Krion® is resistant to all types of products used in cleaning and disinfection processes, although for daily maintenance, water and a cloth would be sufficient. Design tableware made safe with Krion®It is convenient to know the products that make up the materials present in the materials we use on a daily basis, which is why Krion® guarantees safety through the certification of its products. It has been validated and certified by NSF for contact with food, it has obtained the REACH certificate validating that its composition is free of hazardous components for health such as Bisphenol and does not generate volatile organic compounds (VOCS), as certified by the Greenguard and A+ seals. In addition, Krion has made public its Product Health Declaration (HPD), highlighting its commitment to transparency in the composition of its products.Once again, the different Infinito designs, Made in Italy, show the ability to transmit emotions and give value to the dishes, a guarantee of quality and responsibility, in which Krion participates with its material and the confidence that only a company from the PORCELANOSA Group can provide.

19/08/2020 At Krion PORCELANOSA Grupo, we believe that small changes can make the world a better place, which is why we strive to offer solutions that improve people's lives and environment, incorporating ethics and sustainability as essential factors to guarantee long-term results. Transparency, safety, trust and innovation are four of the values of our corporate reputation.Thanks to our excellent R&D&I team, we are constantly seeking to improve the end product and to develop innovative, long-lasting, sustainable and viable solutions in accordance with our value chains. This effort has led to the development of Krion® K-LIFE 1100, a material compatible with nature, sustainability and the improvement of society's quality of life.Krion® K·LIFE, the sustainable and environmental conscience of a materialOne of the greatest concerns when manufacturing materials is the consumption of resources and the impact it may have on nature and its lifecycle. A product or project made with Krion® K-LIFE 1100 is sustainable as its environmental impact is reduced through increased environmental efficiency in its lifecycle. In addition, natural casting is used in the manufacturing process, for which hardly any energy is required, so we reduce the carbon footprint. Like Krion® K-LIFE 1100, all other Krion® materials are also recyclable and can be reused in designs, thus restarting the product lifecycle and contributing to an environmentally responsible circular economy. Krion® K·LIFE improving air quality through its propertiesKrion® K-LIFE 1100 contributes to the improvement of air quality as it is a material with very low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), making it an excellent material for cladding and exterior areas.In 2005, the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute developed a new standard and product certification for nursery, kindergarden and healthcare facilities as an extension of the GREENGUARD certification programme for indoor air quality. Known as the GREENGUARD Gold certification, it was developed by assessing the chemical sensitivity of children, along with the building characteristics of schools. This certification, of which Krion® K-LIFE 1100 is a holder, presents the most stringent product emissions criteria to date for low-emission materials.Krion® K-LIFE contributes to an environment free of bacteria and micro-organisms thanks to its almost zero porosity, making it impossible for dirt and stains to penetrate it and thus preventing the reproduction of pathogens on its surface. In addition to this, its composition, which is free of hazardous products, contributes to providing aseptic, safe and healthy spaces for the health of people and the environment.The intrinsic properties of Krion® materials also extend to K-LIFE, maintaining their thermoforming capacity and union with imperceptible joints and achieving continuous surfaces that adapt to any design. Its resistance to fire, endorsed by the B-s1-d0 certificate, and to temperature changes make it a safer choice as a construction and cladding material. Its easy maintenance and cleaning and its durability make it an ideal material for high traffic areas.KrionTM K · LIFE 1100 applied in the facilities of the Hospital of A Coruña.

Point of view, when creating a low-relief surface with a thickness of 4 mm, the solid surface allows light to pass through, generating different designs that are projected through the chosen colour.Translucency increases as the thickness decreases; this is the same for all colours that generate this effect. Obviously, the colours with the greatest capacity for initial backlighting are much sharper, and, when you decrease the thickness, they allow much more light to pass through.How backlit colours behave on our Solid SurfaceThe magic of Krion® backlighting lies in its ability to diffuse light uniformly and spectacularly.From a more technical point of view, when creating a low-relief surface with a thickness of 4 mm, the solid surface allows light to pass through, generating different designs that are projected through the chosen colour.Thanks to this and the appropriate choice of thickness, the backlit colours of Krion® allow light transmission that can be adapted to create subtle effects or bold visual statements. The material's ability to be moulded and thermoformed also opens up a world of creative possibilities, allowing designers to explore new shapes and applications in their projects.The translucency increases as the thickness decreases; this is the same for all colours that generate this effect. Obviously, the colours with the greatest capacity for initial backlighting are much sharper, and, when you decrease the thickness, they allow much more light to pass through. In short, Krion® not only offers a functional and aesthetically versatile material for designing commercial spaces, but also provides a powerful tool for creating atmospheres that can completely transform the customer's shopping experience.→ You may be interested in: Colour psychology in store design Read more Alluslate®: The large-format decorative panels that are a surprising new feature in interior decoration What is Alluslate®?
