NEI Corp launches UV-resistant coating used to disinfect coronavirus

摘要

NEI Corporation has shown that its newly developed NANOMYTE TC-4001-UVP product offers protection against damage from short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation in the 100-280 nm wavelength range, also referred to as UV-C, is increasingly being considered as a means for disinfecting surfaces that large numbers of people are likely to come in contact with, such as parts of transit systems, theme parks, cinema theatres, public restrooms, airports and other areas of high traffic. The COVID-19 virus has made frequent cleaning of surfaces a top priority for maintenance managers of high traffic areas. However, UV radiation causes significant damage to painted surfaces by creating free radicals that then cause polymer degradation.
