Introducing LCC Active: The next level of hygiene
LCC Active is an advanced ceramic coating technology developed by LAUFEN that enhances the cleanliness and hygiene of bathroom ceramics. A natural evolution of the original LCC, which has ensured easy cleaning for years, LCC Active takes hygiene to a new level. The innovative surface treatment offers optimum protection for the ceramic, preserving its natural beauty and radiant shine for many years, while actively protecting against harmful bacteria and viruses.
LCC Active works by sealing even the tiniest of pores in the ceramic glaze, resulting in an ultra-smooth surface with a roughness of just 0.00001 millimetre, three times smoother than conventional glazes. The inorganic silicate-based material gives a superior smoothness, minimising the adherence of dirt, limescale, and germs, making it easier for water to wash them away. Simultaneously, LCC Active eliminates over 99.9% of bacteria and significantly reduces viruses within 24 hours, thanks to the biocidal agent Copper. The hydrophilic surface also enhances the distribution and effectiveness of cleaning agents, allowing for the use of gentler cleaning products.
Eliminates bacteria and viruses
LCC Active is not just a protective layer; it actively combats harmful micro organisms. Its innovative formulation, which includes Copper, provides a significant boost to bathroom hygiene, making it an ideal choice for both private homes and public spaces where cleanliness and safety are paramount
EASY TO CLEAN
The ultra-smooth surface of LCC Active makes everyday cleaning simple and convenient. Dirt and residue can be easily removed using mild cleaning agents, helping to maintain the ceramic surface with minimal effort.
LCC ACTIVE SURFACE TECHNOLOGY
LCC Active is bonded to the ceramic glaze, providing resistance to chemical substances commonly used in bathrooms.
This surface treatment is particularly suited to environments with demanding hygiene requirements, including hotels, schools, public bathrooms, restaurants and healthcare facilities.
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN SOLUTIONS
The LCC Active surface finish has been developed in cooperation with scientists from the Technical University of Clausthal-Zellerfeld and eliminates over 99.9% of bacteria and significantly reduces viruses within 24 hours, thanks to the biocidal agent Copper. This has been confirmed by independent testing institutes following the strict requirements of ISO 21702:2019 and ISO 22196:2011. A patent application has been filed.
LCC Active is available for selected products and ceramic collections, providing an unparalleled level of hygiene and convenience. Whether in high-traffic public spaces or the privacy of your own bathroom, LCC Active represents the future of bathroom ceramics.
