XTI Launches ACTIVE-SHIELD NANOCOATING for Drug-Resistant Superbugs

XTI introduces ACTIVE-SHIELD™ NANOCOATING, a revolutionary and environmentally-friendly transparent Photocatalyst Nanocoating for sterilizing consumer products and interior surfaces in buildings, medical facilities, automotives and airplanes.

SGS tests on XTI-coated surfaces prove that ACTIVE-SHIELD™ has ANTI-GERM EFFICACY of R6.08 (99.9999% JIS-Z-2801-standard), providing powerful protective contact-surface coating against superbugs NDM-1 and other dangerous germs and bacteria like H1N1, H5N1, H2N5, E-Coli and MRSA(Staphylococcus aureus).

As new breed of drug-resistant superbugs rapidly spread around the world it is now becoming a global concern. XTI proposes an ‘always-on’ protective solution via XTI’s new generation of Photocatalyst TiO2(Titanium-dioxide) nanocoating to minimize contact surface germ counts as the most effective preventive measure.

Current generation of TiO2 nanocoatings require 24 hours to reach 86~99% antibacterial efficacy, but such tests are typically done on raw solutions (NOT on applied surfaces like tests on XTI) and/or containing VOCs in the binder or sintering-coating.

According to international testing standards, antibacterial rate must reach 99% or higher in 24 hours to be qualified as an "Anti-Bacterial" product. Medical authorities alert that some viruses can be pathogenic in as small quantities as 1%, therefore the antimicrobial rate higher than 99% is critical.

The XTI ACTIVE-SHIELD™ is:

  • GREEN (RoHS-Non-Toxic-compliant with ISO-17025 pharmaceutical-standard manufacturing),
  • SUSTAINABLE (activated and regenerated-by-light) and
  • SAFE: consisted of 99% UPW(ultra-pure-water) and 1% titanium-dioxide nanoparticles(2~5nm) resulting in the maximum aggregated surface coverage to provide the most efficient anti-germ protection.

Available in 2 powerful formulas:

  1. Daylight: X-TiO2 (Titanium-Dioxide)
  2. Zero-Light: X-TiO2Ag (Titanium-Dioxide-Nano-Silver).

Both can be easily applied on many types of surfaces:

  • Buildings (Hospitals/Offices/Shops/Schools/Hotels/Casinos/Public-Washrooms)
  • Transportation (Cars/Trains/Buses/Airplanes)
  • Work/Living Spaces (Walls/Ceilings/Doors/Carpets/Curtains/Air-ducts/filters)
  • Fabrics (Fashion/Sportswear/Facemasks/Uniforms)
  • Consumer Products (Toys/Phones/Keyboards/Mouse/Handheld-Devices)
