Nothing less than the maximum level of hygiene, ergonomics and warmth is good enough for the neonatal ward of any hospital. With ultra-soft corners and contours ergonomically designed specifically for babies, the new HI-MACS® Baby Bath is the perfect product for babies' first baths of their lives.
Size matters – to increase efficiency and reduce offcuts
HI-MACS® can be supplied in different sheet thicknesses, formats and sizes. Ideal for maximum cutting, minimum wastage and minimal costs. However, not all colours are available in any thickness, please see the colour charts here opposite for exact availability.
HI-MACS® FR - Low flammability
The fireresistant FR version is available in S728 Alpine White and complies with the requirements of the IMO standard modules B + D and M1. This quality is particularly suitable for use in public buildings, façades and shipbuilding.
HI-MACS® Ultra-Thermoforming:
This special formulation can be formed into very small radii (up to 6 mm radius).
