Moisture migration, caustic cleaning solutions and particle contamination can be major issues for flooring systems. That is why Sika Corporation USA (Booth 1240) will showcase its improved resin flooring and wall systems at Interphex (April 17-19; Javits Center, New York City). These solutions offer up to 10 percent faster cure rates and greater durability amid the most demanding pharmaceutical production facilities. Sika will also deliver a Technical Conference presentation to address ways that life sciences companies can assert greater control over the design, construction, maintenance and cost of existing and new facilities.

The session will be held on Technical Conference Stage 5, Booth 1677 from 3:00pm to 3:30pm on April 17, 2018. Interphex attendees interested in learning how to better control the environmental conditions of their facilities are invited to attend.

During the presentation, Jim Hendley, Life Sciences Vertical Market Manager, Sika Corporation USA will provide a deep dive into surface selection criteria to design a pharmaceutical production area. Hendley will explore critical ambient conditions, usage specification and lifecycle expectations that architects, designers and managers of pharmaceutical facilities must consider in the early planning stages. These considerations include threats posed by moisture migration from the concrete substrate, caustic cleaning solutions, heavy foot and machinery traffic, and particle contamination and collection in seams and abrasions. All of these factors must be addressed to ensure high-level performance of flooring or full-envelope systems, preventing unplanned shut downs due to system failure and poor inspections.
