NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Following
extensive University research and testing in Japan, a new antimicrobial product
called PURAFILM™ was recently made available to the
public. According to the makers, PURAFILM™, the transparent,
new film deactivates pathogens commonly found on non-porous
interior surfaces, such as countertops, desks, door handles,
staircase handrails, kitchen islands, TV remotes and more.
Jointly developed by the New Energy and Industry Technology
Development Organization (NEDO), and the University of
Tokyo, PURAFILM™ is toxic-free, easy-to-apply and reacts
to visible light by quickly inactivating pathogens. The
company says that PURAFILM™ can be easily cut to fit
virtually any household, non-porous surface – from kitchen islands
to home office desks – providing a robust layer of antimicrobial
protection.
According to the developers, PURAFILM™ has been shown
in research studies to quickly inactivate viruses and
bacteria. Unlike disinfectant sprays, liquids and wipes,
consumers don't have to worry about PURAFILM™ losing its
potency or having to continually reapply it. Once adhered
to countertops, door handles and the
like, PURAFILM™ adds a permanent layer of antimicrobial
protection.
When PURAFILM™ is exposed to light, its
antimicrobial components, including solid-state cuprous oxide
(Cu2O) or copper oxide, produce an invisible
chemical reaction that alters the proteins on the surface of
pathogenic viruses and bacteria, rendering them
deactivated. In university testing, PURAFILM™ was
shown to deactivate 99% of a virus in just two hours.
PURAFILM™ is easy-to-use, toxic-free and SAFE around people of
all ages. PURAFILM™ is designed to provide permanent antimicrobial
protection year-after-year
Parents in particular are expected to
appreciate PURAFILM™. With children running in and
out of the house, keeping surfaces disinfected all day with sprays
and wipes is virtually impossible. And there's no guarantee
that right after cleaning a surface that more pathogens won't be
taking their place. With PURAFILM™, just apply it once to
any high-touch surface and there's nothing else to do other than
occasional cleaning with warm water and soap.
For parents sending their children to school in today's germ
conscious era, PURAFILM™ is expected to play a role. Parents
can apply PURAFILM™ on lunch boxes, backpack handles,
books, pencils, desks and chairs for added protection and a little
more peace of mind."
