WUXI, China, November 2026 — FARFLY homogeneous PVC flooring has completed independent third-party antibacterial testing. The tested sample achieved an antibacterial activity rate of more than 99.9% against all three specified bacteria:

• Escherichia coli
• Klebsiella pneumoniae
• Staphylococcus aureus

The test compared the FARFLY flooring sample with an untreated reference material after a 24-hour incubation period. The results provide measurable evidence of the product’s antibacterial performance on the tested smooth surface.

Supporting Healthcare Hygiene Management

Hospitals and clinics face continuous hygiene pressure from patients, staff, hospital beds, trolleys and other wheeled equipment. Shoes and wheels can transfer contaminants across corridors, wards and treatment areas.

The tested antibacterial performance can help control the growth of the three specified bacteria on the flooring surface between cleaning cycles. It provides an additional material-level contribution to the facility’s established cleaning and disinfection procedures.

Addressing Senior-Care and Rehabilitation Needs

Senior-care and rehabilitation facilities serve residents who may be more vulnerable to environmental hygiene risks. Wheelchairs, walking aids and nursing equipment also move frequently between rooms and shared areas.

A flooring surface with verified antibacterial performance can support daily hygiene management in resident rooms, corridors, rehabilitation areas and common spaces. It does not replace routine cleaning or disinfection, but complements a properly managed maintenance programme.

Supporting Schools and Child-Focused Spaces

Schools, childcare centres and activity rooms experience high occupancy, frequent movement and regular contact with floor surfaces. Maintaining hygiene between scheduled cleaning periods can be challenging.

Antibacterial performance of more than 99.9% against the three tested bacteria provides project teams with measurable supporting evidence when selecting flooring for classrooms, corridors and shared activity areas.

Adding Value to Offices and Public Buildings

Lobbies, corridors, meeting areas and other public spaces experience constant pedestrian traffic. Cleaning normally follows a fixed schedule, making continuous surface management difficult.

Tested antibacterial flooring can form part of a broader hygiene strategy for offices, libraries, public buildings, retail spaces and other high-traffic interiors.

Turning Product Claims into Verifiable Project Evidence

FARFLY believes that high-specification projects require more than general product claims. Project owners, designers and contractors need test results, applicable product documentation and technical support that can be reviewed during material selection and project approval.

This new report strengthens the performance documentation available for FARFLY homogeneous PVC flooring and supports its application in healthcare, senior care, education and other hygiene-sensitive environments.

The result applies to the submitted sample, the three specified bacteria and the stated laboratory conditions. It should not be interpreted as protection against all bacteria, viruses or infections, and antibacterial flooring should not replace regular cleaning and disinfection.
