- The Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), an autonomous institution under DST, has come up with a one-step curable anti-microbial coating.
- This coating is capable of completely killing the influenza virus and resistant pathogenic bacteria and fungi, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, fluconazole-resistant C. albicans spp. and a range of virus type Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-19).
- The anti-microbial coating can be applied or fabricated into surfaces such as textiles, plastics, etc.
- It is anticipated that the coating will not allow microorganisms to become active on coated surfaces.
- The coating kills the microbes within 30 minutes of contact.
- The Compound developed through the technology is soluble in several solvents such as plastics, textiles, PVC, polystyrene, polyurethane.
- During the COVID-19 outbreak, the coating may be used to protect personal protective tools, clothes and equipment of health workers.
