×Following the successful market launch of the HygieneGlaze ceramic surface in 2015, Duravit's research and development team has further developed the innovative ceramic glaze. The result is HygieneGlaze 2.0, with which Duravit is setting previously unattained standards of hygiene for toilets and urinals.
Like magic
For the bathroom – where perfect cleanliness is front and centre – Duravit has developed an innovative ceramic surface that has now been further improved in its 2.0 generation. The glaze, which is baked into the ceramic during firing, has the ability to kill bacteria – and in record time: 90% of pathogens disappear within just 6 hours, and 99.999% after 24 hours. But how does this actually work? Due to the oligodynamic effect triggered by the combination of positively charged metal ions with other active ingredients, pathogens such as E. coli bacteria and other unwanted guests have no chance of survival. The glaze burnt into the entire interior right up to the edge of the toilet and urinal ensures that the toilet is absolutely clean. And perfect in form, too.
No chemicals whatsoever: Six hours are enough to eliminate 90 percent of germs, 24 hours to eliminate them all completely. Metal ions and other active ingredients are baked into the glaze during firing, resulting in the highest standards of hygiene

×In for the long haul
While scented candles and sprays, toilet paper and toilet brushes come and go, the effect of the innovative glaze for toilets and urinals continues as effective as ever, and long-term testing confirms the lasting effect in terms of eliminating bacteria. With these compelling properties, the numerous products in the Duravit series that are equipped with HygieneGlaze 2.0 are ideal for use in private households as well as in the commercial sector.
