NANOTECHNOLOGY: A LESSON FROM NATURE “ There is no cause more urgent, no dedication more fitting than to protect the future of our species ” [ Carl Sagan ] In his 1959 speech, American physicist Richard Feynman exposed his thoughts on manipulating individual atoms to build "new systems". This is considered the beginning of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the science of materials and phenomena in the range of 1 to 100 nm. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter or a millionth of a millimeter. Nanomaterials can have unique and innovative properties, with which you can create new materials and...

EFFECTIVENESS AND DURATION: WHAT ELSE? OTHER SURGICAL MEDICAL DEVICES What essential characteristics should a disinfectant possess? The focus is on its microbicidal effectiveness. The least you can expect from any sanitizing on the market is to get as close to 100% as possible. But there is a more important aspect to evaluate, which is usually not known or not taken into account: time, that is, the duration of antimicrobial action. The products that can exhibit the ministerial mark of surgical medical device generate a microbicidal action whose duration is limited to a few minutes from the...

A PERMANENT PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE “ Everything you can imagine, nature has already created ” [ Albert Einstein ] The permanent disinfectant R21 Smart Coating® thanks to its innovative composition modifies the walls and cell membranes of microorganisms. When alcohol evaporates after application, threedimensional nanostructures remain attached to the substrate, which interact with the cell walls of contaminants and result in irreversible loss of cytoplasm components and inhibition of enzyme processes. These nanostructures are thus able to quickly and effectively damage the membranes, capsids,...

R21 Smart Coating® is applied on clean and dry surfaces, both absorbent and non-absorbent. At first, simply spray the product and let it dry. In the case of large surfaces; application is also possible with nebulizer devices. On non-absorbent surfaces such as polymers, metals, glass, ceramics it is necessary to use R21 Smart Coating® Primer to prepare the surface in order to facilitate the adhesion of the protective material. Then apply R21 Smart Coating® by spraying on small areas and spreading the product with the help of a clean cloth. After about 15 minutes the surface will be active...

Assessment of Resistance the antibacterial efficacy of the product R21 Smart Coating® on Porous surfaces after months of aging. Following the aging treatment of a surface treated with R21 Smart Coating®, the residual antibacterial activity of the support was tested by application of the ISO standard method 22196:2011 " Plastics Measurement of antibacterial activity on plastic surfaces ", achieving a 99.99% bacterial reduction. The certified laboratory states that the material treated with the product R21 Smart Coating®, has been shown to retain a high antibacterial activity, even after the...
