Health & Aged Care

In healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, aged care facilities, and veterinary practices, maintaining a sterile and durable environment is paramount. DEEPBARRIER-MEDI by Integra offers a groundbreaking solution specifically designed to meet these needs.

This product not only acts as a curing agent for green concrete but also provides a permanent moisture barrier and antimicrobial protection, enhancing the safety and longevity of healthcare facilities.

Challenge:

  • Moisture-Related Degradation: Moisture penetration can compromise the structural integrity of concrete, leading to costly repairs and potential safety risks in healthcare environments.
  • Microbial Contamination: Facilities must prevent the proliferation of bacteria, viruses, and fungi to protect the health of patients, especially in high-risk environments like operating rooms and intensive care units.
  • Maintenance and Sterility: Ensuring facilities remain sterile and well-maintained without frequent, disruptive, and costly upkeep is a key challenge for healthcare infrastructure managemen

Solution:

DEEPBARRIER-MEDI cures and protects green concrete in a single application—delivering long-term performance where hygiene, durability, and moisture control are critical.

How It Solves the Problem:
