Key Advantages of our PVC wall systems:

Exceptional Durability

Highly scratch and stain-resistant surfaces
Can withstand the harshest cleaning regime used in controlled environments
Outperforms traditional painted drywall systems that often require frequent repairs and repainting

Low Maintenance

Easy to maintain surfaces
Long-lasting without the need for continuous touch-ups or repairs

Flexible system options

Thermoform corners onsite or use preformed corners accessories
Can heat weld, cold weld or use plastic divider pieces to address seams
Available in traditional white, variety of pastel and bold colors and imprinted images

Industry Compliance

Meets cleanroom standards requiring surfaces to be:
- Smooth
- Easy to clean
- Durable
- Impervious to contamination
- Scratch and dent-resistant

PVC material does not fade or yellow over time
Heat welded seams ensures no cracks, gaps or fissures where contaminants could accumulate and no caulking that can fade and require frequent replacement

Why Choose PVC Over Traditional Methods?

Painted Drywall

Traditional epoxy-painted drywall can chip, flake, dent or crack under frequent movement of mobile carts and equipment.
Leads to costly repairs and potential facility shutdowns.
Does not withstand harsh cleaning over time

FRP Panels

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) panels can release fiberglass filaments into the cleanroom when damaged.
This is a serious contamination risk in controlled environments.
FRP cannot be thermoformed
Some FRP panels will fade or yellow over time

Our broad product portfolio ensures that we can meet even the most unique wall cladding requirements.

Takiron^© IVY-ONE

Takiron IVY-ONE cPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) wall cladding system provides users with the cleanest possible environment due to its high-density, non-porous construction, smooth surface finish and natural chemical resistance. The Takiron IVY-ONE system is made from IVY-ONE 573®, a durable material with tremendous impact resistance and durability. It won’t flake, chip or crack. Once the panels are heat-welded together, it becomes a seamless configuration. IVY-ONE is manufactured to withstand strong sporicidal cleaners as well as harsh chemical cleaning agents. It is even strong enough to handle high-pressure washing and direct steam.

One of the biggest advantages of using Takiron IVY-ONE is it’s one of the few wall panel systems that is FM 4882 approved.

FM 4882 is the standard developed by FM Global for products used as interior cleanroom wall materials. The standard combines FM 4880 and ASTM E84 standards into one harmonized standard for pharmaceutical, biotech, and food industries. FM 4882-approved panels are low-smoke emittance and will not allow self-propagation of a fire.

AM-Clad^©

AM-Clad PVCu (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) panels have a smooth, durable, hygienic, and easy-to-clean surface that helps users meet demanding regulatory requirements, maximize production time and provides superior levels of hygiene and infection control. AM-Clad offers two types of PVCu panels to meet different levels of pvc wall protection – Hygienic Panels (in standard or decorative) and Antimicrobial Panels. All of these Panels are ASTM-E84 Class A smoke and fire rated. These panels can be heat-welded using a color-matched vinyl weld rod, cold-welded using silicone caulking or sealed with plastic Divider/Edge Trims. This process creates a smooth, seamless surface that ensures there is no place to harbor contaminants.

Antimicrobial Wall Panels

For hygiene-critical environments to be truly optimized, antimicrobial protection is becoming essential. The COVID pandemic has taught us that it is more important than ever to protect employees and clients from the spread of bacteria and viruses. Antimicrobial is defined as any substance that demonstrates the ability to resist, inhibit and prevent the growth of microbes such as bacteria, mold, fungi and viruses. Antimicrobial should not be confused with Antibacterial. Antibacterial is different in that it is only effective against bacteria. Antimicrobial is effective against a much wider spectrum of microbes.

AM-Clad’s Antimicrobial Wall Panels are PVCu panels that are infused with billions of minuscule particles of silver ions during the manufacturing process. The silver ions are invisible to the naked eye and are dispersed throughout the panel, not just on the surface. These silver ions provide the extra level of antimicrobial protection that traditional PVCu panels cannot.

To achieve the highest level of protection against microbes, bacterial, mold and mildew, AM-Clad is pleased to offer Antimicrobial Wall Panels. These Panels have silver ions embedded throughout which naturally provides a superior level of hygiene and infection control.

Product Features

2mm or 2.5mm thick PVCu panels
Antimicrobial design protects against the spread of contagions

Sealants

Chem Link, a division of Soprema, formulates and manufactures high-performance adhesives, sealants, coatings, and related products. Their sealants and adhesive products are based on proprietary formulations that combine the highest performance with low environmental and human health risks.

M-1CR Sealant

The M-1CR (clean room) Sealant is designed specifically for controlled environments where molecular airborne contamination can impact human health. It is the perfect solution for cleanroom manufacturing operations in pharmaceutical, biotech and food & beverage clean rooms.

The M-1 CR is a polyether based sealant that is solvent-free, has extremely low VOC and is designed for application in areas where outgassing and solvents are not tolerated. It releases virtually no molecular air contamination and contains no isocyanates. It also cannot “out-gas” on damp surfaces as is common with urethane sealants.

Available in white color in a 10oz/300ml Cartridge or a Field Pack with qty 16 Cartridges.

Product Features

100% VOC Compliant ~ less than 15 grams/liter
Tough elastomeric bonds
