Possible applications

・ Multifunctional Nano-coating Manufacturing and develop of processed films and fabrics. 　
・ Coating or processing clothes, bed clothing and curtains with MEDICAL NANOCOAT at their manufacturing stage.
・ Coating or processing building materials, interior, exterior and furniture with MEDICAL NANOCOAT at their manufacturing stage.
・ Coating inside of buildings as a defense against transmission of communicable disease in public facilities.
It can be applied to places where unspecified number of people gather, such as mass transit system including airports and train stations as well as hospitals, schools, and kindergartens.

How to apply MEDICAL NANOCOAT

Apply MEDICAL NANOCOAT to door knob:

1. MEDICOAT coating solutions          MEDICAL NANOCOAT consists of two coating solutions.
2. Application step 1         Apply coating solution No. 1 to a clean cloth.
3. Application step 2         Apply reagent No. 1 to surface of interest by         “wiping on” coating solution.
4. Prepare spray gun for application of coating          solution No. 2          Pour solution No. 2 into spray gun canister.
5. Application of solution No. 2        Spray solution No. 2 onto target surface and let dry        for 30 seconds.
6. Quality assurance         For quality assurance, use an (electrostatic) surface         resistance meter to ensure that the desired target         surface has been properly coated.
7. (Optional) Bacterial quantification         Use the bacterial quantification kit to examine bacterial         load on coated/uncoated surfaces.

Competitive advantage

While photocatalytic coatings exist in today’s market as a technology similar to MEDICAL NANOCOAT, NascNano Technology’s nano-coating offers the following competitive advantages:

・Photocatalytic seal by filling micron-sized fissures on surfaces
In order to maximize the utility of MEDICAL NANOCOAT’s physical and substance properties, our photocatalytic particles are specifically designed to a uniform size pattern of 1-10 nm. These nano-sized filler particles effectively seal micron-sized fissures on surfaces that are undetectable to the naked eye.

・Antibacterial protection under minimum/no light conditions
MEDICAL NANOCOAT is effective under both diurnal and nocturnal conditions. This is achieved not only through photocatalytic but also a unique blend (for diurnal and nocturnal conditions) combined with nanometal particles such as silver, platinum, selenium, and provides antibacterial protection under minimal / no light conditions.

・Detectable nano-coating with a standard (electrostatic) surface resistance meter
Nano-coating is invisible and cannot be observed without the aid of a microscope. Therefore, the task of confirming where a nano-coating material has been successfully applied is exceedingly difficult. In order to enhance the capability of clients to check for where the nano-coating has been applied, MEDICAL NANOCOAT has been specifically engineered to be detectable with a standard (electrostatic) surface resistance meter.

Performance

・Effectively inactivates the influenza virus in 15 seconds (third party testing carried out by Shokukanken Laboratory).

・Neutralizes Staphylococcus aureus, E. Coli, Bacillus subtilis (third party testing carried out by the Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Shizuoka, Japan).

・After coating various surfaces in a major international airport in Japan, the MEDICAL NANOCOAT treated surfaces had a significantly reduced bacterial load in comparison with non-treated surfaces even after 28 months from initial application (third party testing carried out by the Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Shizuoka, Japan).
