RAK-Sanit
a safe choice
2020: a new revolution of spaces and ways of living in them begins. A transformation that makes it easy from the design stage, to include new sanitation measures to be able to create living and working spaces in total freedom and safety. The R&D laboratories of RAK Ceramics are always at the forefront of technology and were the first in the world to provide antibacterial solutions for interior design in 2009, thanks to the development of special certified antibacterial glazes.
Today, with the new RAK-Sanit program, RAK Ceramics offers an even wider range of solutions for floors, walls and sanitaryware, made with glazes that inhibit the growth of bacteria, thus reducing the possibility of contagion and contributing to create a healthier environment. RAK-Sanit is the ideal solution for modern and safer schools, public and private offices, restaurants, hotels laboratories and for all the spaces where hygiene is of primary importance.
AN INVISIBLE PROTECTION
RAK-Sanit is a complete solution that includes Porcelain and Ceramic tile collections that reduce bacterial contamination and contribute to a healthier living and working environment owing to its antibacterial properties given by silver nitrate compounds.
RAK-Sanit antibacterial collection of wall and floor tiles feature antibacterial technology that is permanently integrated into the tile surface. Once bacteria comes into contact with the tiled surface, the silver ions initiate the elimination cycle. Silver ions in the antibacterial tile surface bind to enzymes, proteins, cell membranes and the DNA of the microbe to damage DNA and block reproduction, resulting in the death of the organism.
A DEEP
PROTECTION
INCORPORATED
IN THE TILE
This specialised glaze is incorporated into the glaze on the tile during the manufacturing process. The firing of the glaze into the tile at high temperatures creates a surface that inhabits the growth of microbes that come in contact with the tile.
TESTED
FOR YOUR
HEALTH
On external ventilated façades, Klima helps limit heat dispersion while maintaining a steady indoor temperature. An innovative solution that helps reduce room energy demands.
Certified
effectiveness
RAK-Sanit tiles are tested by CERFRIT Laboratory – USA, according to the Japanese Standard JIS Z 2801:2000. This Standard specifies the testing methods to evaluate antibacterial activity and efficacy on bacteria on the surface of the products. RAK-Sanit tiles are tested by METS Laboratory – UAE, according to the International Standard ISO 27447:2019. This Standard specifies the test method for antibacterial activity of semiconducting photocatalytic materials.

Antibacterial Gres Porcelain / Ceramic tiles that reduce bacterial contamination up to 99.9% owing to its antibacterial properties given by silver nitrate compounds (Standard ISO 27447:2019 or JIS Z 2801:2000). Standard antibacterial testing for ISO 22447.
MANDATORY ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY:
Active 24h T
ested both in the dark and in the light
Effective on the surface
Permanent, integrated into the product during the firing cycle at temperatures above 1200 degrees centigrade
Durable over time for the entire life of the ceramic product.
ANTIBACTERIAL GROUTS
We recommend specifying the use of antibacterial grouts for joints, available in the market, to ensure safe protection over the entire surface. For installation, cleaning and maintenance, we recommend following the normal procedures and indications contained in the catalogs and technical manuals of gres porcelain / ceramic tiles. Avoid abrasive products and detergents containing waxes or filming products, do not apply resins, waxes or protective agents.
