VIRACOAT addresses the urgency created by viruses and bacteria becoming more resistant to antibiotics and cleaning products. VIRACOAT Nano Ceramic antimicrobial coatings provide protections to the increasing threat.

Why VIRACOAT?

When compared to other coatings, VIRACOAT specifically becomes part of the substrate. It creates a significant covalent bond whereby the sharing of the electrons between the coating and the substrate are connected. The procedure of linking the different materials creates a strong bond which is more tenacious compared to other covering materials and paints. VIRACOAT meets the standards of EPA and FDA approval due to its ability to protect surfaces from harmful microbes.

This technology assists in the reduction and spread of microorganisms including: antibiotic-resistant bacteria for example, VRE, NDM-1 and MRSA also clostridia. Healthcare services and treatment clinics are the biggest areas that encounter these pathogens for which protection is essential.

VIRACOAT incorporates ingredients that can be directly applied to a textile or polymer product during manufacturing which has the benefits of protecting against microbes for a significant amount of time. Due to its bonding properties VIRACOAT can be used on different types of clothing. It not only provides protection but eliminates odours.

VIRACOAT is Antibacterial, Antiviral, Fungicidal, Prevents Odours, Stops Mites, Prevents Mold Growth, EPA Tested, Contains no Halogens, Has Food Safe Versions, and is safe and healthy.

VIRACOAT technology provides an environmentally sustainable means of prolonging the useful life of consumer and industrial products.

VIRACOAT addresses the growing demand among the healthcare community for increased hygienic cleanliness in medical products for hospitals and doctors’ offices. As a nontoxic polymer that renders plastic surfaces permanently antimicrobial, VIRACOAT eliminates the safety issues associated with leaching antimicrobials and does so while actually reducing the costs to protect finished goods. VIRACOAT contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or heavy metals.

Antimicrobial VIRACOAT imparts a protective bacteriostatic and fungistatic and algae static surface on substrates to prevent deterioration and discoloration caused by fungi, prevents algae growth and inhibits the growth of odor causing bacteria. It is durable, leach resistant and non-migrating. It does not create the conditions that promote the development of resistant microorganisms.

Sporting Goods
Whether its playing sports and adventuring outdoors, gear gets wet and stays damp. This is when microbes can proliferate and cause odors and staining. With built-in protection from VIRACOAT, mold, mildew and bacteria never have a chance to get a foothold and multiply. The equipment stays cleaner longer and free of unwanted odors.

Healthcare
VIRACOAT protects medical devices and surfaces in healthcare environments. The spread of infection in hospitals and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains is nationally recognized as a critical healthcare problem, one that VIRACOAT antimicrobial can help solve through its use in catheters, wound dressings, and high contact environmental surfaces such as door knobs and countertops.

Building Products
The heat and moisture to which siding, flooring roofing, decks and other components are exposed promote the growth of molds and mildews. According to the insurance industry, mold-related damage to building products causes well over an estimated $2 billion in claims per year.

Viruses are varied and have a variety of survival rates. There is no hard and fast rule for the time a virus will survive without a host.

Door handles, credit card keypads, cell phones, computers, we touch so many surfaces daily. The simple act of touching things spreads germs. Some viruses can live on surfaces for hours, or weeks. A surface, like a credit card terminal or at the gas pump will be contaminated if an infected person sneezes or coughs on it.

Viruses are varied and have a variety of survival rates. There is no hard and fast rule for the time a virus will survive without a host. Surfaces and environmental temperatures and humidity all matter too. Which surfaces are safe, and how often do we need to disinfect them?

Some virus such as the norovirus that can cause vomiting and diarrhea, might survive for weeks. With its ability to live outside of its host, norovirus can spread both by infected people and via contaminated foods and surfaces.

Covid19 is new and being studied. Comparing the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) with SARS-CoV-1, the most closely related human coronavirus and the virus responsible for the 2003 epidemic, a study found that the two viruses have similar viability, however the novel coronavirus could survive up to three days on stainless steel and plastic surfaces. Survival on other types of surfaces was lower. Like just one day on cardboard and four hours on copper. The novel coronavirus can live in the air for hours and on surfaces up to days.

VIRACOAT is applied to stainless surfaces, countertops, door handles, shopping carts, medical equipment, credit card stations, pens, exercise equipment and fabrics plus just about anything that can spread germs. Months or longer of functional bacteria and virus killing ability are provided by VIRACOAT. Until worn off and abraded by use, a serious germ fighting, and durable clear coating offers a peace of mind in the battle for protection against these microbials.
