Two products have shared the prestigious Interbad Innovation Award this year – the ‘SafePrep XC’ calcium hypochlorite system from Evoqua Water Technologies and the ‘Sopro TitecFuge plus 2-10 mm’ grout from Sopro Bauchemie.
SafePrep XC prides itself on offering safe application without dust or contact with chemicals. It also does not require disposal or dissolution of residual sludge. Sopro TitecFuge plus 2-10 mm is a cement-based, brightly coloured and high-strength grout for colour-sensitive areas subject to high loads such as wellness facilities, showers or swimming pools.
The award was voted for by visitors to the Interbad show, which was held at the Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre from 21-24 October. Both products received 17.3 per cent of the vote ensuring that the award was shared this year, with decisive criteria being primarily importance and practical applicability, environmental and energy benefits, and functionality.
The ‘Gat Net Lock’ wired locker closing system from Gantner Electronic and the fully automatic ‘Mida.mat’ backflush valve from Midal Pool & Fountain Products were presented with two second prizes in the Innovation Award after another tie in voting, with both companies receiving 12.4 per cent each.
Interbad will next be held between 27-30 September 2016 at the same venue.
