CareCoatex™: Biomaterial-based Core-Shell Particles for Antibacterial and Antiviral Applications

CareCoatex is a biocompatible, non-toxic and eco-friendly antibacterial and antiviral coating that is made of patented chitosan-based core-shell particles. With its excellent film-forming ability and the natural antimicrobial reagents encapsulated in it, the coating can perform both contact killing and time-release killing for up to 6 months. It can effectively and rapidly kill 99% of common bacteria (e.g. Staphyloccocus aureus) and viruses (e.g. H1N1 and HCOV-229E), and is therefore ideal for applications like disinfection, contamination control and epidemic prevention.

CareCoatex can be easily applied by spraying under room temperature and normal conditions on various surfaces, such as metals, concrete, wood, glass, plastics and textiles. It is fast-drying and will not affect the material’s appearance and tactile feel.
