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 hygie...

China officially issued the mandatory national standard GB 18586—2026, Indoor Decorating and Refurbishing Materials—Limitations of Harmful Substances from Carpets, Carpet Underlays, and Polyvinyl Chloride Flooring, on March 31, 2026. The new standard will take effect on October 1, 2027. GB 18586—2026 expands the harmful substance requirements for polyvinyl chloride flooring and will replace GB 18586—2001 and GB 18587—2001 in full. For hospitals, sports venues, cleanrooms, laboratories, electronics facilities and pharmaceutical projects, this update affects more than product testing. It may also influence flooring selection, test report verification, procurement schedules and acceptance documentation. FARFLY is a Project-Focused Resilient Flooring Provider for Healthcare, Sports Venues & High-Specification Environments. We believe that compliance is not simply about possessing a test report. The report must correspond to the actual product, model, specification and project requirement if it is to support a successful delivery and acceptance process. What Is GB 18586—2026 and When Will It Take Effect? According to China’s official National Standards Open System, the key information is as follows: Item Information Standard number GB 18586—2026 Issue date March 31, 2026 Implementation date October 1, 2027 Standard type Mandatory national standard Responsible department Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Issuing authorities State Administration for Market Regulation and Standardization Administration of China   The new standard will fully replace: GB 18586—2001, Indoor Decorating and Refurbishing Materials—Limit of Harmful Substances of Polyvinyl Chloride Floor Coverings; GB 18587—2001, the previous harmful substance emission standard for carpets, carpet underlays and carpet adhesives. GB 18586—2026 is currently listed as a forthcoming standard rather than a standard already in force. When reviewing a PVC flooring test report, buyers should therefore check whether it refers to the 2001 or 2026 edition and consider the relevant production, import, delivery and project acceptance dates. What Harmful Substance Requirements Have Been Added for PVC Flooring? Compared with the previous edition, GB 18586—2026 substantially expands the controlled substance categories for polyvinyl chloride flooring. In addition to vinyl chloride monomer, the updated requirements address the TVOC emission rate, heavy metals, phthalates, formaldehyde emissions, formamide and certain brominated flame-retardant substances. The principal limits for PVC flooring include: Test item Limit Vinyl chloride monomer content ≤5 mg/kg TVOC emission rate after 72 hours ≤500 μg/(m²·h) Lead (Pb) ≤1000 mg/kg Cadmium (Cd) ≤100 mg/kg Hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺) ≤1000 mg/kg Mercury (Hg) ≤1000 mg/kg Total DBP, BBP, DEHP and DNOP content ≤1000 mg/kg Formaldehyde emis...

  FARFLY Exhibition Review | KazBuild 2026: From On-Site Discussions to Project Delivery FARFLY concluded its participation in KazBuild 2026 on September 4, 2026.

The video gives customers who could not attend the exhibition a direct view of FARFLY’s on-site presence and activities. Additional product-selection, installation and flooring application content is available through the FARFLY Video Centre. What Flooring Solutions Did FARFLY Discuss at KazBuild 2026? FARFLY organizes its solutions around actual applications. Instead of asking customers to begin with an isolated product name, we fir...

Article Summary: FARFLY completed a 15,000 m² hospital flooring project at Jo Ann University Hospital in Tbilisi, Georgia. The project used 2.0 mm homogeneous vinyl flooring and included product selection, technical documentation, auxiliary materials, international logistics, and on-site installation by FARFLY’s overseas construction team. This case demonstrates FARFLY’s ability to deliver complete PVC hospital flooring solutions for international healthcare projects. A hospital flooring project is never simply a matter of supplying rolls of material. Product selection, color coordination, subfloor preparation, wall-coving details, welding, installation quality and communication between different countries can all affect the final result. For the Jo Ann University Hospital project in Tbilisi, Georgia, FARFLY provided more than PVC flooring products. From sample confirmation and technical documentation to auxiliary materials and overseas installation, the company delivered a coordinated flooring solution covering approximately 15,000 square metres. The project demonstrates what FARFLY can offer international contractors and distributors beyond product manufacturing: practical project support, complete material coordination and professional installation services at the project site.   Project Overview Project: Jo Ann University Hospital Location: Tbilisi, Georgia Contract signed: March 26, 2024 Project area: Approximately 15,000 m² Application: Hospital and healthcare spaces Main flooring: 2.0 mm homogeneous flooring Project contractor: Local Georgian engineering contractor Installation: FARFLY installation team dispatched to Georgia Construction status: Installation completed in early 2025   About Jo Ann University Hospital Jo Ann University Hospital is a well-known medical institution in Tbilisi with a long history in cardiology and cardiac surgery. The medical centre was established through the efforts of American philanthropist Jo Ann McGowan and Georgian surgeons. Its original mission was closely connected with improving access to pediatric cardiac care and surgery for children with congenital heart conditions. After becoming part of European University, the institution began operating under the name Jo Ann University Hospital and continued developing into a multidisciplinary medical facility serving both inpatient and outpatient needs.   The Client Needed More Than a Flooring Product One of the main challenges in the local market was the limited availability of experienced installers for resilient hospital flooring. Professional vinyl flooring installation teams were difficult to find locally, labor costs were high, and the expected construction progress could not easily meet the project schedule. The customer therefore needed a supplier that could take responsibility for more than production and delivery. FARFLY agreed to dispatch an experienced installation team from China to Georgia. This overseas const...

For this project, FARFLY supplied a flooring material package including homogeneous vinyl flooring, PVC ESD flooring, adhesives, wall adhesive, conductive adhesive, welding rods, copper foil, installation tools, and related accessories. More Than Flooring Rolls: A Complete Project Supply Approach Hospital flooring projects are different from standard commercial flooring orders. A hospital includes many functional areas, such as corridors, wards, operating rooms, CT rooms, equipment rooms, and floor-to-wall areas. Each area may require different flooring performance, installation methods, and supporting accessories. For general medical areas, homogeneous vinyl flooring provides durability, easy cleaning, and long-term maintenance value. For areas with electrostatic control requirements, such as CT rooms or equipment-related spaces, PVC ESD flooring must be installed as part of a complete conductive system with conductive adhesive and copper foil. This is why FARFLY focused not only on supplying flooring rolls, but also on supporting the full material system required for project installation. Supporting the Contractor from Tender to Project Execution During the early stage of the project, FARFLY helped the client prepare professional product documents and technical parameter sheets that could be used for project communication and tender submission.
