The ecotio2® Anti Viral Surface Coating from Photocatalyst Coatings can be applied to surfaces to eradicate and protect against viruses, microbes, and bacteria. Photocatalyst Coatings “Ultra AV” coatings were successfully tested and certified against SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID 19) to JISZ2801 testing requirements utilising the ISO 22196 test methodology.
Once a surface has been coated with ecotio2®, test results prove the coated surface will eradicate microbes and bacteria, and unlike disinfectant type products; will continue oxidising the virus for as long as the product remains on the surface.

ecotio2® effective antiviral coatings:
Viral Infection is initiated by the attachment of a specialized site on the surface of the protein coat of the virus onto a specific receptor site on the surface of the host cell. Once this binding is complete viruses can release genetic materials into the host cell and take advantage of the machinery of the host cell to reproduce and assemble themselves. These newly produced viruses are now ready to infect other cells. Therefore, one of the key processes to disable viruses is through the control of their surface structure, especially their binding sites, so they can no longer recognize the receptor site on the host cells. As ecotio2® ultra anti-viral coatings act effectively on the virus’s surface, they represent an excellent viable technology to destroy the viruses surface structure. Functionalised nano-particles can affect the viruses due to chemical interactions between the molecule-functionalisers and molecule-receptors at the virus surface.
ecotio2® advanced products:
ecotio2® ultra C and ecotio2® ultra AV are ultra-high-performance, ion exchange catalyst coatings that utilise doped nano carbon technology to provide long term bacteria, virus, fungal and odour protection. The coatings remain effective in low light and low temperature conditions, resulting in improved hygiene and the inactivation of harmful substances. The resulting safer, faster and easier cleaning properties offer major benefits for the end user.
