Problem
Traditional disinfectants used in various sectors, including healthcare and transportation, are often toxic, environmentally harmful, and require frequent reapplication to remain effective. This creates a need for more sustainable and long-lasting solutions to prevent the spread of pathogens and harmful substances.
Solution
Nanoionix develops EcoCerTM, a family of engineered metal oxide ceramics that provide continuous, self-disinfecting properties without leaching harmful chemicals into the environment. EcoCerTM coatings can be applied to a wide range of materials, including metal, plastic, glass, ceramic, textile, wood, and paper, during manufacturing or aftermarket processes. The coatings rapidly and continuously inactivate bacteria, viruses, fungi, and algae, offering a robust and durable solution for air and water filtration, antifouling, building and hardware, defense, medical, and transportation applications. EcoCerTM remains stable in diverse conditions, including air, water, autoclave, bleach, and organic solvents, ensuring long-term efficacy and reducing the reliance on traditional, less sustainable disinfectants.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers and end-users in industries such as air and water filtration, marine, building and hardware, defense, healthcare, and transportation seeking durable, self-disinfecting coatings.
