It protects a layer of antibacterial sprinkling on all surfaces, from the emerging corona virus for up to 90 days, as a preliminary study showed what might constitute a new weapon in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic.
The study, prepared by researchers at the University of Arizona and not yet reviewed by other scientists, found that the amount of virus present on surfaces that were sprayed with this antibacterial agent decreased by 90% within 10 minutes and by 99.9% after two hours.
This technology is "the next major development in containing the epidemic," said Charles Gerba, a university microbiologist and lead author of the study.
"I think it is especially important for heavily used surfaces like subway and bus trains that are regularly sanitized, but the people who alternate with it are re-polluting them." He continued, "This technology does not replace the place of regular cleaning and sterilization, but rather protects the stages between regular cleaning and sterilization."
The study was tested by the university team, which was designed specifically to fight viruses by the company, "Hand Bioscience". The material is sprayed to cover the different surfaces provided that the process is repeated every three to four months. The substance changes the proteins in the virus and attacks the layer that protects it.
