Antiviral coatings for glass

病毒可能在受污染的表面传播数天。该项目将评估皮尔金顿（NSG集团）开发后期的两种产品的抗病毒功能，以积极减少玻璃表面的病毒载量，特别是SARS-CoV-2\。目前还没有抗病毒涂层玻璃产品具有这些期望的性能。如果成功，具有高耐用性的产品将可立即用于零售中的屏障，建筑物和接触表面。-关于“延长影响”资金效果的补充信息-由于病毒传播在第二波感染中再次出现，并且很可能继续出现，直到疫苗能够完全推广为止，因此延长资金将允许加速原项目中提出的抗病毒涂层玻璃表面的上市路线。这些产品可以作为一种手段，减少因高频接触玻璃表面而交叉感染的风险，从而有助于减少病毒的传播。

Virus transmission is possible from contaminated surfaces for days. This project will evaluate the antiviral functionality of two products which are in late stages of development within Pilkington (NSG group) to actively reduce the viral load on glass surfaces, specifically SARS-CoV-2\. Currently there is no antiviral coated glass product available which has these desired properties. If successful a product with high durability will be available for immediate use in barriers, buildings and contactable surfaces in retail.-Additional Information for effects of the "extension for impact" funding-As the virus transmission has re-appeared in a second wave of infections and is likely to continue to do so until a vaccine can be fully rolled out, the extension to funding will allow the acceleration of the route to market for the antiviral coated glass surfaces proposed in the original project. These products can act as a means to reduce the risk of cross infection from high frequency touch glass surfaces, thereby helping to reduce the spread of the virus.
