Antiviral coatings for glass

受污染的表面可能会在数天内传播病毒。该项目将评估皮尔金顿（NSG集团）处于后期开发阶段的两种产品的抗病毒功能，以积极减少玻璃表面上的病毒载量，特别是SARS-CoV-2。目前，没有可获得的具有这些所需性质的抗病毒涂覆的玻璃产品。如果成功，具有高耐用性的产品将可立即用于零售中的障碍物，建筑物和可接触表面。关于“影响扩展”资金影响的其他信息-由于病毒传播在第二波感染中再次出现，并且可能会继续这样做，直到疫苗可以完全推出，资金的扩展将允许加速原项目中提出的抗病毒涂层玻璃表面的市场路线。这些产品可以作为一种手段，以减少交叉感染的风险，从高频率触摸玻璃表面，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.
