Chile. Since the appearance of Covid 19, we have begun to know a number of innovations focused on the fight against the virus. One of the components that has given to talk is copper, today the ventures around it multiply, because it has been confirmed that it is a powerful destroyer of bacteria and inhibitor of viruses like the one that attacks us today.
Studies show that the virus is inactivated in just 4 hours on a surface with copper, but if that surface has copper nanoparticles, it ceases to be active in minutes.
Based on this information, the Chilean company Origen Tecnología Spa. (www.origentecnologia.cl) producers of high quality copper nanoparticles, have just launched their Nano Protect Cu+ varnish, powerful Antibacterial and Viral water-based, non-toxic, washable and colorless, capable of being applied on all types of surfaces, such as; concrete, metal, wood, plastics, melamines, etc. creating a protective layer that lasts between 3 months and 3 years, depending on where it is applied.
The product was tested by the Microlab laboratory as antibacterial, and does not present contraindications to be applied in any inhabited place, since it does not contain solvents or toxic inputs for health, but what came to complete the innovation was the certificate of effectiveness against the CORONAVIRUS of the AGQ Labs International Laboratory, who confirmed that the varnish controls 99.90% of the virus in just 7 minutes!
"We believe that this innovation is unique in the world, and that it comes to deliver a longer-term solution in the protection of homes, offices, schools, utilities, processing plants, casinos, restaurants, and many other spaces where people gather," says Daniel Costadoat, General Manager of the Company.
The product is already on sale, it has been applied in public transport, buses and taxis, malls and food courts, chemical bathrooms, apartment buildings, fast food outlets, supermarkets, with really surprising results, achieving levels of protection after weeks of its application of 100%.
In addition to the development of this ANTICOVID paint, the company has products in the textile area, (school and work clothes, fashion jeans, sheets for hospitals) cleaning supplies (ammonium + nano copper), masterbatch for all types of plastics and varnishes for the protection of export packaging.
