1 Ceiling for Special applications OWAcoustic Where you depend on it: Premium ceilings for sensitive areas Healthcare Laboratories Food processing, preparation and retail Areas of sustained high humidity Ceilings Information from OWA

2 OWAcoustic Ceilings for sensitive areas OWAcoustic tiles form the basis of our extensive programme of specialist ceilings. This programme benefits from the normal inherent qualities of the range fire resistance, acoustics, cooling, service integration and sound insulation but also offers more additional features that make them suitable for use in more sensitive areas. OWAcoustic biocide superior appearance, excellent acoustics and more OWAcoustic Bolero biocide and Sinfonia biocide (pages 6 & 7) provide effective resistance against fungi, bacteria and yeast as well as an elegant appearance and excellent sound absorption.

5 Hygiene Ceilings OWAlux For project that require smooth, clean surfaces OWAlux ceiling tiles are suitable for areas that require the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. The smooth, white aluminium foil allows easy cleaning and/or disinfection of the tile surface. Temperature range Up to a maximum of 50 C at ceiling level Surface Bio-resistance A report by the Dr Wessling Laboratory in Altenberge is available confirming the effectiveness of surface disinfection (only OWAlux white 64/8). Typical Construction for high pressure washing OWAlux grey white 64/2/O OWAlux silver 64/4/O OWAlux white 64/8 Hospitals Laboratories/Clean rooms Food processing and food retail outlets Sterile and hygiene areas High humidity areas Normal Cleaning When simply installed the surface of the tile can be vacuum cleaned using a soft brush attachment and/or cleaned with a damp OWA sponge (see Installation Guide No. 801 E). High pressure cleaning Where high pressure washing may be required only OWAlux 64/8 should be used and then the tiles must be sealed into the grid using a compression strip and joint sealant (as shown in the adjacent diagram) to prevent ingress of moisture and contaminants during the cleaning process. The spray should be applied at an angle of 30 with a minimum distance of 40 cm from the surface of the ceiling and a maximum nozzle pressure of 40 bar. During high pressure cleaning the water temperature should not exceed 38 C.

These classifications are dependent on the number and size of airborne particles present in a specified volume of air. In sensitive manufacturing or laboratory areas the compliance with these exacting standards can be critical and may be the difference between success and failure. The OWAcoustic clean ceiling range can satisfy 6 of the standard s classifications (classes 4-9). The high quality foil face provides OWAcoustic clean tiles with a smooth easy to clean closed surface. Universal 64/1 also achieves cleanroom status and has a fine perforated surface that provides good levels of sound absorption. Precision Engineering Optical manufacturing Hi tech electronic component manufacturing Cleaning The type of cleaning regime is dependent on tile and construction used. Non-perforated OWAcoustic clean tiles can be vacuum cleaned using a soft brush attachment and/or wiped with a damp sponge. Tested: Suitable for use in cleanrooms To establish the suitability of OWAcoustic clean room ceilings, they were subjected to prolonged tests in accordance with EN ISO at the Fraunhofer IPA, Stuttgart. The Class 4 performance recorded can be compared with the Class 10 performance shown in the former US-Federal standard 209E. This Class allowed a maximum of 10 particles of size 0.5 μm per cubic foot of air.

9 Hygiene Ceilings OWAcoustic AirControl Improving the quality of life OWAcoustic AirControl can reduce air pollutant by over 50% Innovation by OWA OWAcoustic AirControl has been designed to help combat everyday smells such as food, cigarette smoke and perspiration. It also reduces the airborne levels of common cleaning material solvents and harmful substances such as ammonia, formaldehyde, triethylamine and nicotine. Certified performance Tested by the Danish institute Eurofins, OWAcoustic AirControl ceiling tiles were subjected to continuous exposure of nicotine, ammonia, formaldehyde and triethylamine. The result of the 14 day test programme was a reduction of over 50% of the respective concentrations, leading to a dramatic improvement in the air quality. μg / m³ Pollutant concentration without active ceiling Pollutant concentration with OWAcoustic AirControl ceiling tile The result When used in places such as hospitals, care homes, clinics or veterinary practices its long lasting effect can significantly improve the air quality and produce a more relaxed, less institutional feel to the environment. This in turn can assist in quicker recovery times for patients and a more pleasant ambiance for care home clients. Restaurants, hotels, nurseries, gyms and offices can also benefit from the properties of OWAcoustic AirControl. 0 Nicotine Ammonia Formaldehyde Triethylamine Constellation x 625 S 3 S 15 Reaction to fire A2-s1,d0 (EN ) White Light reflection approx. 88 (ISO , ISO ) Sound insulation* from 31 db to 49 db Sound absorption α w = 0.70 / NRC = 0.70 Up to 95 % RH 9

10 Moisture resistant ceilings OWAcoustic Mavroc Where high humidity performance is a necessity In areas such as swimming pools, changing rooms and shower areas, suspended ceilings can be exposed to high levels of humidity. Relative humidity (RH) is expressed as a percentage the amount of water air can hold at the prevailing temperature within the room. In areas of high humidity it is important to install the correct OWAcoustic ceiling tiles. Constellation 3 Harmony 72 OWAcoustic Mavroc has been developed for use in external areas and internal areas where the ceilings maybe subject to long term exposure of up to 95% Relative Humidity. Showers and Saunas Swimming pools Changing rooms External areas Suspension System Where the ceiling is subject to extreme levels of humidity it is recommended that OWAconstruct corrosion resistant suspension system S 3e is used. Cleaning The surface of the tile can be vacuum cleaned using a soft brush attachment and/or cleaned with a damp OWA sponge (see Installation Guide No. 801 E).
