There are many choices when choosing a material for your bathroom partitions. Though you may not be aware of it, many of the materials available for restroom partitions are not solid throughout meaning that the core is made from a particleboard or cardboard core. These cores are subject to mold,mildew and/or rust in a wet environment.

Hiny Hider partitions by Scranton Products are constructed from premium American-made 1″ solid High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) with a homogenous color throughout. The material resists dents, scratches, corrosion, graffiti and mildew – and will absolutely never rust.

This is especially important in restrooms because HDPE can be fully power washed and steam cleaned helping eliminate germs and bacteria that can feed in a restroom environment. The material is also impermeable to moisture and the non-porous surface does not support the growth of mold and mildew.

Because they never need painting, Hiny Hiders HDPE partitions deliver no VOC emissions and are Greenguard Gold Certified. It is important to look for this certification from manufactures because in an increasingly muddled green marketplace, GREENGUARD Certification provides an advantage by serving as a health-based differentiator. Products GREENGUARD Certified for low-chemical emissions can contribute to healthier indoor environments.

The HDPE material is also naturally germ resistant. Testing conducted by SiTU Bio sciences LLC. by ISO 22196 methods show that after 24 hours, 98.4% of MRSA bacteria died off the surface of HDPE plastic without the use of any cleaning solutions.

Cold storage solutions play a critical role in the successful design of food safe facilities.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That philosophy forms the underlying foundation for current food safety regulations in the United States and Canada.

Refrigeration provides one of the most important preventative measures for protecting food products. At the same time, refrigeration presents a major challenge in the cold storage supply chain.

For manufacturers, distributors and retail venues, fluctuations in temperature by only a few degrees could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. Recently, one food manufacturer suffered estimated losses in the range of $250,000 in a one-week time period due to suspected temperature abuse.

The company also sustained damage to their brand identity. In an environment of instant information transfer, it didn’t take long for websites, social media outlets and news organizations to spread word of the food safety issue.

Fortunately the situation involved no documented cases of illness. Imagine the repercussions if consumers had experienced widespread infection requiring medical attention. The legal ramifications could have been devastating.

Have you performed an audit of your “cold chain”? What risks might be going undetected?

In part 2 of our series, The Food Production “Cold Chain” and a Food Safe Sanitary Facility Design, we’ll discuss the challenges food safe products must overcome in getting to the consumer.

All foods need to be handled, prepared and stored properly to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms that can cause illness. Preventing cross-contamination at animal production and food processing facilities is another key aspect in reducing the risk of environmental contamination. Production, storage and shipping areas of processing facilities should be kept isolated from each other much as possible.
