Antimicrobial surface-coating from Kastus is effective against coronavirus

Founded in 2014, this pioneering antimicrobial surface-coating technology has a far-reaching impact across a wide range of consumer brands and industries and can be applied across everything from smartphones and touchscreen kiosks to screen protectors and ceramic tiles. 
 
Kastus has previously been proven to block up to 99.99 per cent of
surface bacteria and fungi including antibiotic-resistant superbugs such as MRSA and E. coli.

Now, new independent testing conducted by a leading Global test laboratory has confirmed that the Kastus technology is effective against human coronavirus on coated surfaces. 
 
The Kastus coating is applied and baked into the top layer of the glass
or ceramics surface during the manufacturing process. Once it’s locked in, the Kastus coating is constantly working to help protect the underlying touchscreen device, glass, or ceramic surface, while its antimicrobial power is always on through the lifetime of the product.
 
“With this new validation and testing, we’re giving brands and commercial partners
across the globe a solution that they can build into their products to get industry back on its feet again,” said c Chief Executive John Browne. 

“Our unique technology is particularly relevant to those businesses who use shared touchscreens and devices, helping to mitigate the spread of the virus, while addressing consumer concerns
and reluctancy to use public touchscreens.”
 
While the Kastus coating is primarily designed for use on new products, companies can retrospectively add screen protectors with the coating applied to help provide enhanced protection, meaning it could soon be widely available across products such as touchscreen kiosks in restaurants, shopping centres and airports.
