HygieneGlaze® & HygieneGlaze® Plus | Duravit
The new standard of hygiene
HygieneGlaze® sets an unprecedented standard of hygiene for toilets and urinals. This ceramic glaze is baked into the ceramic during firing and is not only especially effective against bacteria, but also acts very quickly. With our new HygieneGlaze® Plus, we even go one step further by combining the antibacterial advantage with an easy-to-clean surface.
Whether at the workplace, sports facilities or airports, hygiene requirements are high in both public and semi-public buildings. This is why they are an essential part of the respective building concept. However, awareness of hygiene issues has not just increased in public areas but in the private sphere, too.

HygieneGlaze®
Bacteria in areas where hygiene is critical
Germs are omnipresent in our everyday lives. In particularly critical areas, such as hospitals, medical practices and nursing facilities, hygiene is an ongoing issue. The consistent use of disinfectant and hygiene measures helps to kill or inactivate microorganisms. Modern concepts combine the targeted use of sterilizing substances with preventive measures, including surface coatings.
Duravit’s research and development team has advanced the development of the innovative ceramic glaze HygieneGlaze® which was launched on the ISH in 2015. HygieneGlaze® further improves the hygienic properties of the toilet. The new development is not a surface coating but an antibacterial ceramic glaze that provides almost indefinite effectiveness.
The optimized formula of HygieneGlaze® contains a new combination of metal ions and other active substances, which is particularly effective in blocking bacteria growth like E. coli, for example. Baked into the ceramics and extending from the interior to the rim of the toilet or urinal, HygieneGlaze® is effective in the areas particularly susceptible to the accumulation of bacteria and germs.

Compared with ceramics with conventional surface glazes, HygieneGlaze® inhibits 99.9 percent of bacteria growth within 24 hours. The effectiveness of the HygieneGlaze® antibacterial properties has been scientifically proven by hygienic and microbiological tests performed by the Institute for Hygiene and Public Health at the University of Bonn: the special glaze kills bacteria and germs.
After just six hours, 90% of bacteria (e.g. E.coli) and after 24 hours 99,9% of bacteria growth is inhibited, an unprecedented level. HygieneGlaze® arrests the bacterial growth (e.g. escherichia coli) in comparison to a conventional ceramic glazing.

HygieneGlaze® Plus
2-in-1 effect for next level hygiene
HygieneGlaze® Plus is the next milestone in our research into the field of sanitary ceramics. Its effectiveness is based on what is known as the oligodynamic effect: positively charged metal ions incorporated into the coating during the firing process ensure that our most advanced ceramic glaze yet eliminates 99.99 percent of bacteria within 24 hours. At the same time, the ultra smooth surface effectively minimizes dirt and limescale deposits, thus reducing the usage of water and detergents.
