System and product description
Ecophon Hygiene Protec A C3 is a wall to wall, sound-absorbing ceiling system intended for environments where there are demands on low particle emission and where frequent wet cleaning and/or disinfection is required. This system is recommended where humidity levels are occasionally high. Examples of applications: the pharmaceutical and electronics industries, and in healthcare premises.

The system consists of Ecophon Hygiene Protec A tiles, which have a core of high density glass wool and a painted particle-repellent Akutex™ HP surface. The back and the edges are painted. The supporting structure is a corrosion protected exposed Connect T24 C3 grid of lacquered galvanised steel. The weight of the system is 3-4 kg/m². The tiles should be secured to the grid with Connect Hygiene clips in order to withstand pressure during cleaning and to minimise dirt traps.
