Ecophon Hygiene Products Overview
Ecophon Hygiene offers acoustic ceiling systems for environments with strict hygiene requirements, such as pharmaceutical and food processing facilities. These systems ensure excellent acoustics while maintaining high hygiene standards.

System Design Approach
The systems are designed as integrated units, suitable for clean environments with low contamination tolerance. They can be customized to address specific challenges like temperature, humidity, and chemical pollutants.

Product Range
Includes systems like Hygiene Performance, Protec A, Protec C, and Advance A, each tailored for specific conditions and demands.

Installation and Service
Guidelines are provided for installation and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Technical Properties
Technical specifications, including sound absorption coefficients and fire classifications, assist in selecting the appropriate system.

Sound Absorption Measurement Methods
Describes the room and tube methods for measuring sound absorption, with the room method following EN ISO 354 standards.

Absorption Coefficient and Classes
Sound absorption is categorized into classes A to E, with A being the highest. Thicker absorbers are recommended for low-frequency absorption.

Speech Intelligibility
Improves with shorter reverberation times, influenced by room shape and signal-to-noise ratio. The RASTI method measures intelligibility.

Reverberation Time
Duration for sound to decrease by 60 dB after the source stops, depending on room volume, shape, and surface absorption.

High Humidity and Aggressive Environments
Products use water-repellent glasswool, maintaining stability in high humidity, suitable for environments up to corrosion class C3.

Cleaning Methods
Ceilings can be cleaned using dry, manual wet, and pressure washing methods, with specific detergents recommended.

Indoor Climate and Emissions
Products meet US Federal Standard 209E for particle emissions and comply with The Indoor Climate Labelling for low emissions.

Handling and Mechanical Strength
Panels withstand over 400 cycles of abrasion testing, easy to handle and install due to lightweight composition.

Loading and Installation
Ceiling panels should not bear loads, but small loads like spotlights can be supported. Proper installation ensures durability.

Specifications and Standards
Outlines specifications for the Connect suspension system, referencing standards like ASTM C635 and BS 8290.

Recommendations
Includes placing additional live loads at least 1 meter apart and hanging heavier loads directly from the structural ceiling.

Hangers and Fixings
Must support the suspended ceiling and additional loads, with a triple safety margin against breakage.

Light Efficiency
Highlights the importance of light reflectance and diffusion, recommending a white ceiling for better reflection.

Fire Safety
Products undergo continuous quality control and are tested for reaction-to-fire and fire resistance.

Environmental Impact
Products are made from over 60% recycled material, chlorine-free, and carry environmental labels like the Nordic 'Swan' Eco-label.

Planning and Design
Proper planning ensures quality installation, with ventilation crucial in high humidity environments to prevent condensation.

Installation and Service
Absorbers should be installed on a corrosion-resistant grid, with regular inspection panels for maintenance access.

Sound Absorption
Hygiene Performance panels offer high sound absorption, with NRC values of 0.85 and 0.95 for 20 mm and 40 mm thicknesses.

Specifications
Hygiene Performance systems are classified as fire protective coverings, achieving the Nordic 'Swan' eco-label and suitable for cleanroom class M2.5/10.

Installation
Requires securing with clips for in-situ cleaning, with edges sealed using Connect Edge sealant.

Application and Appearance
Designed for areas with slight soiling and frequent cleaning needs, creating a traditional chequered pattern.

Product Description

Fire Safety
Meets international fire safety standards, including BS 476 and ASTM E1264.

Environmental Influence
Fully recyclable, achieving the Nordic 'Swan' eco-label.

Additional Products
Protec A and C offer similar features with variations in installation and accessibility.

Specifications
Hygiene Advance A is designed for areas with heavy soiling, featuring a glasswool core encapsulated in a Teflon-type film.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Endures daily dusting and vacuum cleaning, supporting low and high-pressure washing.

Installation
Requires Hygiene Clips and Connect Edge sealant for cut surfaces, installed late in the building process.

Fire Safety and Indoor Climate
