Research has shown that a thin cellulose film can inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus within minutes, inhibit the growth of bacteria including E.coli, and mitigate contact transfer of pathogens. The coating is invisible to the naked eye, and is abrasion resistant under dry conditions, making it suitable for use on high-traffic objects such as door handles and handrails.
While specific details of the terms of the partnership will remain confidential, the definitive agreement includes a five-year period of exclusivity for this key customer, who will deploy the TRIO™ for consumer electronics applications.
An ultra-thin high-performance thermal insulation film, MicroProtect™ has been developed for use on the interior of personal electronic devices including laptop computers and cellular phones.
