Continuous 180-Days Self-Disinfecting Antimicrobial Surface Coating

Antibacterial coatings use agents which are only effective against broad-spectrum bacteria, such as MRSA and E.coli. they usually integrate silver active ingredients and work by inhibiting bacterial cells’ initial adhesion to a surface.

In contrast, antimicrobial coatings utilize chemical agents or technology toxic to various microorganisms, particularly those that are pathogenic, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They also contain additives which can shield surfaces from mildew and odour-causing bacteria. Their active ingredients typically include quaternary ammonium compounds. Since they offer a greater level of protection than antibacterial coatings, they are often used in hygiene critical environments, such as hospitals, schools and commercial kitchens.

BRShield is an anti-microbial. In a time where ‘Clean’ has been redefined, its intended use is not to replace disinfectants nor normal cleaning protocols but to supplement the process. The application of BR Shield is to add a layer of 24/7 surface protection to inhibit viral contamination and render coated surfaces hostile for the survival of germs.

Because other methods of disinfection only work on a ‘one off’ basis. ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ eliminates the risk of infection from cross-contamination 24/7/365 for at least 180 days after treatment.

No! In fact, regular routine cleaning will only serve to enhance and optimise the efficacy of the treatment ensuring that the ongoing disinfection potential remains at maximum efficacy for at least 180 days.

‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ should be applied to clean, dry surfaces for optimal efficacy.

No, not at all! Because the treatment destroys pathogens through physical means not by chemical poisoning, so there is NO possibility of any organism building up immunity

‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ kills all pathogenic organisms (bacteria, viruses, moulds, yeasts and fungi with a ‘4 log’ level of disinfection efficacy. It continuously eliminates 99.99% of such pathogenic organisms, immediately on contact 24/7/365.

There are two main discriminating characteristics that set ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ apart and in a league of its own.

First, it is NOT a disinfectant based on highly corrosive or toxic chemical activity with a very short term period of efficacy. ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ destroys pathogenic micro-organisms on contact using only a physical method of destruction.

Second, traditional disinfectant solutions are only effective for a very short period of time and once dry, their kill rate diminishes to zero very quickly. Because ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ works in a completely different way, by creating a very stable surface coating that destroys pathogenic organisms through physical contact rather than chemical poisoning.

These characteristics also mean that it can remain effective 24/7/365 for over 180 days following application.

There are two reasons for complete reassurance and confidence in this regard.

First, ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ is not based on toxic or corrosive materials. It is a totally safe surface treatment that provides a purely physical means, not a chemical means of microbial destruction.

Secondly, ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ is fully certified to be 100% safe for use in any area where it might be applied.

Because of its physical rather than chemical nature, ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ will continue to provide a highly effective level of disinfection by destroying 99.99% of micro-organisms immediately on contact 24/7/365 for at least 180 days after application.

This assumption is correct. BRShield is a chemically ‘bonded’ surface coating which means that once applied, it bonds chemically, at the molecular level with the surface to which it has been applied. Therefore, the only way to remove the coating is through physical abrasion such as scrubbing the surface repeatedly and vigorously with coarse pads, wire wool, abrasive based metal polishes and creams.

No! In fact, regular cleaning with soap and water enhances the microbial killing power and longevity of the coating. As it destroys microbes immediately on physical contact, if the surface is left uncleaned for prolonged periods the dead microorganisms begin to clog and degrade the efficacy of the surface. Therefore, regular cleaning with soap and water is good and wiping and rinsing is better than scrubbing.

As above, BRShield can only be removed from regular or intense abrasion, contact with detergents and sanitisers will only have a positive effect on the antimicrobial properties of the coating.

All antimicrobials coating are not created equal. It’s important to understand the basic chemical, physical, and biological properties of an antimicrobial so the best choice can be made. Because of its unique mode of action and inability to migrate from a treated surface, our technology is the obvious choice to minimize environmental contamination and the development of resistant organisms. Our products are safe for the environment, humans, and pets. They are non-dissipating, non-leaching, non-migrating from the applied substrate and cannot be absorbed by micro-organisms or by humans.
