Safe Life FZC, a new breed of healthcare distributors based in United Arab Emirates (UAE), is employing the latest technology to combat dangerous outbreaks like the deadly Coronavirus or MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome). So it’s no surprise that they are attempting to break the cycle of transmission by adopting self-cleaning NanoSeptic® surfaces for use throughout hospitals, hotels, shopping centers and schools.
The NanoSeptic® self-cleaning products include facility touch points such as door push pads and handle wraps, portable mats for counters, tray tables and bathroom vanities, and custom products like grocery cart and public transportation grab-handle wraps.
“When you are talking about a virus that has a 50% mortality rate and is spreading internationally, we need to attack the problem on multiple fronts.†says Dr. Ahmed Elawadi, President of Safe Life. “Not only do NanoSeptic surfaces help to inhibit the chance of Coronavirus transmission through surface contact and cross contamination, but it works on all other bacteria, viruses and fungi.â€
Independent lab tests were just conducted with the human Coronavirus that show that the NanoSeptic surface kills 99.96% of viruses deposited on a surface in 30 minutes. The same tests showed that after 30 minutes, 56% of the virus was still alive on a stainless steel surface, a common material for door push plates and handles, and almost 20% was still alive after 4 hours. And unlike sanitizers and disinfectants which are one-time kills, the NanoSeptic surface is “always onâ€, constantly trapping and killing microbes 24/7.
