Description

A Polish company seeks technology that allows for the production of a coating that protects against viruses, bacteria, and pathogens. The coating would be used in public transport, medical facilities, shopping malls and shops, offices, hotels, public places, educational institutions, and any other public places.
The protective coating should meet the following criteria:
- Relatively quick application (less that an hour drying time)
- Large areas of treatment up to 800 -1200 square meters without special preparation time
- Coating should be applicable on any type of surface
- Guarantee long lasting protection
- Provide a defence shield creating a homogenous, treated surface, without any impact to the surface material.
Based on its previous business experience, the company believes that a licence agreement will be the best way to cooperate.

Technical Specification or Expertise Sought

Effects of the active treated surface should meet the following criteria: • Anticontamination effects on any surface (>99,9% in lab tests) • Prevents the growth of fungi and mould • Neutralizes the spores • Eradicates pathogens due to its photocatalytic effect • Purifies the air and neutralizes odour: odours and noxious gases are oxidized into harmless substances as soon as they come in contact with treated surfaces • Highly reduces VOC emission (Volatile Organic Compound)
