Dr. Schutz disinfectant cleaner prevents Corona Virus

At the Dr. Schutz Group we also follow the current Corona Virus outbreak. The outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel corona virus (2019-nCOV) was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province (China) at the end of December. The origin of this virus is not yet been confirmed, but it is now known to spread from person to person.

The 2019 nCOV infection are being reported in a growing number of international locations, including Europe, the United States and Canada.

As the number of cases of the novel corona virus continues to rise, so the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a Public Health Emergency. The corona viruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe respiratory diseases. 2019-nCOV is a new strain that has not been previously identified.

However, due to a general susceptibility of coronaviruses to chemical disinfection, strategies are available to help prevent transmission and infection.

Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, especially before and after food preparation, before eating, after toilet use and after handling animals and animal waste. Covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing. See WHO Guidelines. Cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness.

Suitable cleaning agents and disinfection strategies are recommended to help control or prevent the spread of dangerous pathogens.
The Dr. Schutz Disinfectant cleaner shows virucidal activity against enveloped viruses as stipulated by the EN 14476: 2013 + A2 2019 and is therefore also effective against the Corona Virus.

NEWS: Excellent - Dr. Schutz PU Sealer voted Number 1

For the first time since 2012 the independent opinion research institute United Research carried out a trend survey of building contractors, wood and floor laying professionals commissioned by Floor Technology.

In this trend survey Dr. Schutz was able to secure first place in the category “Best Finishes System“ for wood and resilient floors with PU Sealer.


That’s why all floor professionals love PU Sealer from Dr. Schutz!

Dr. Schutz PU Sealer was voted everybody’s favourite again and is ranked first among all floor finishes in Germany nationwide.
What is decisive for the success of Dr. Schutz PU Sealer is the perfect combination of three essential factors: the optimal interplay of product, imparting competence and marketing tools for floor professionals.

The product from Dr. Schutz owes its success to its safety. No other PU sealer is so safe and easy to apply as the winner of the survey. This highest quality standard is the result of decades-long market experience, with by now over 50 million square metres of sealed floors worldwide.

What is more, floor professionals appreciate the universal applications possible with Dr. Schutz PU Sealer: it can be ideally applied to all resilient floors, on epoxy, wood, stone, PU-floors and screed floors.

However, the best product only develops its full potential in combination with the most competent floor professional. The Karl Schutz Academy, as well as many other academies worldwide, ensure the optimal preparation for Dr. Schutz product users, with a range of training courses, including certification, during the whole year.
Furthermore, numerous expert advisors lend their support to professionals on site: hand in hand for perfect results, which always ensure maximum satisfaction for commercial end users.

Last but not least, Dr. Schutz team makes it possible for floor professionals to generate the highest possible added value from their activities by means of a variety of customized marketing instruments, including the Dr. Schutz Collection, the floor remake landing page and video, as well as many well thought out support tools.

NEWS: Floor Remake from Dr. Schutz wins the German Innovation Award in Gold

Bonn, 11th June 2018

On 6th June 2018 the Dr. Schutz Group from Bonn won first place in the German Innovation Awards in the competition category »Excellence in Business to Business (B2B)« . The price was awarded for the company’s innovative „Floor Remake System“ in the area of »Materials & Surfaces«. A total of 88 companies were nominated in this category.

“This great form of recognition of the innovative strength of our enterprise fills us with joy and pride in our team’s performance in all areas of the Dr. Schutz Group. This particular nationwide award proves yet again that the themes of sustainability and saving resources, which the Dr. Schutz Group has followed intensively for years, are absolutely in the trend of our times“, said Dr. Lothar Schutz, proprietor and Managing Director of the group.

Floor Remake is a system for the sustainable renovation of PVC, linoleum, rubber, stone, epoxy and other hard floors. The system consists of PU Color and a transparent top coat (PU NEO) and functions in three steps: 1. The floor is sanded and strip-cleaned. 2. After it has dried, the floor is lacquered with PU Color. Numerous techniques make it possible to create an individual design. 3. Finally, the floor is protected long-term with PU NEO, the first transparent floor coating free of solvents and isocyanates world-wide.

»This system, which can be applied to practically all kinds of floor, is an attractive and at the same time economical alternative to tearing out old floors, followed by laying new ones«, explained the jury as the reason for their decision.

With the German Innovation Award the Design Council has closed a gap in the award landscape. They are looking for product innovations with impact. Many companies were nominated, among them industry giants, as well as hidden champions and start-ups. Prizes are awarded to innovations which show a sustainable effect. The German Innovation Award is not given to mere novelties, but rather to innovations which are proven to generate added value for the user.

The German Innovation Award is given in two competition classes : #1: Excellence in Business to Consumer and #2: Excellence in Business to Business. In a total of 40 categories the jury was able to confer the awards of Gold, Winner and Special Mention. The products varied from a bionic glove to cleaning technologies, fibres for 3D-printing, an e-vehicle charging station to an Internet-of-Things platform.

The assessment criteria of the German Innovation Award include themes like the level of innovation, application uses and economy. The innovation strategy should take into account aspects such as social, ecological and economic sustainability, as well as the use of energy and resources. Also factors such as the potential for locations and employment play a decisive role in the jury’s deliberations, along with longevity, market maturity, technical quality and function, materiality and synergy effects. A highly qualified jury decided on the winner – among them physicists, patent consultants, I.T. experts, financing specialists and product designers.

»That is how we guarantee an individual, neutral and professional assessment«, emphasized Professor Kupetz, the head of the jury.

“The German Innovation Award offers an invaluable platform for the direct exchange of ideas among leading, innovative enterprises in Germany“, Dr. Lothar Schutz was pleased to say, as he personally received the Gold Award last week in the capital city: “The Dr. Schutz Group sees in this a fantastic opportunity to continue networking in the B2B area and to support partners in the industry and services with the newest ideas in the renovation and refurbishment of floors. “

The German Innovation Award was initiated and is implemented by the Design Council, which was established by the German Parliament (Bundestag) in 1953 and was funded by the Federation of German Industry. For the past 65 years the Design Council has pursued the objective of supporting the competitiveness of German enterprises.

With its competitions, exhibitions, conferences, seminars and publications it makes a decisive contribution to the transfer of knowledge all around the themes of design, innovation and brands. Over 300 enterprises, both domestic and foreign, currently belong to the funding circle of the Design Council, which provide jobs for more than three million employees.

NEWS: New Online-Tool from Dr. Schutz for the construction site: “The what-you-need calculator“

New Online-Tool from Dr. Schutz for the construction site: “The what-you-need calculator“

Here is the name “what-you-need“ program: under https://www.dr-schutz.com/en/dr-schutz/professional/calculation-support/ a new and especially practical tool is being offered for floor-laying professionals. With very few clicks the individual needs for coating products with matching equipment and utensils for every building can be calculated there with guaranteed perfect results.

Details about the type of floor, the area and the desired product system are sufficient – no sooner entered than the user receives an exact listing of all the articles and quantities which are needed for the renovation measures in that specific building. So the construction site will be successful with exactly the material which is necessary.

Super practical: the list with the necessary material can conveniently be printed out by the user directly from the Online-Tool, or can be sent directly by e-mail to his wholesaler.

This tool was born at the request of many Dr. Schutz customers and, in close consultation with several floor-laying professionals, programmed as a tailor-made solution. From now on every wood and floor layer, painter or interior decorator can precisely find and order the products for every coating with Dr. Schutz systems which will be needed on the construction site. “Too much, too little, or the wrong products – all that belongs in the past“, says Frank Knott, general sales manager of Dr. Schutz, “We are always willing to go that extra mile in order to be able to offer our customers even better service. Thereby we are always oriented very closely to the problems of our customers, so that we can make their lives easier. That was how the idea of the consumption calculator was born.“

In only three steps the user has arrived at his destination:

Step 1: Here you choose the relevant floor situation. The flooring professional can enter details about the type of floor and surface structure he has to deal with.

Step 2: Here you choose the desired coating. The flooring professional can now choose between all the coating systems available for the floor in question. What is on offer ranges from the classic Dr. Schutz PU Sealer, PU Color, PU Anticolor, through PU NEO (the new green alternative) to ESD coatings, to name but a few examples.

Step 3: Here you choose the desired gloss grade and the required additives, for example the R10, R11 or the duro plus  Add, the latter for even higher scratch resistance and increased matting finish.

Then enter the square metres of the construction site and the calculation has begun.

With regard to equipment and utensils, we differentiate between things necessary for the system and recommended machines, tools, etc. Our recommendations make work easier and provide economic advantages, while the necessities for the system are essential for a flawless and long-lasting result.

Of course we were mindful of responsive design when programming the “what-you-need-calculator“, so that it can also be used practically and efficiently at any time on smartphones and tablets.

Are you interested in the “what-you-need-calculator“ and would like to try it out yourself?
