Protect walls from bacteria with anti-bacterial paint

With the fear of Swine Flu on the rise and the consequent wave of flu patients expected to flow into hospitals in the winter months, tackling Swine Flu is a hot topic. Swine Flu viruses are transmitted when carriers cough and sneeze, and if you've seen the adverts, stick to walls and surfaces, only to infect other people later. This means that people entering hospitals, medical centers, schools and any public building are exposed to the viruses.

An Israeli company Imat Technologies has patented a wall coating used in operating rooms and other sterile environments. The coating seals the walls in a way that prevents them from absorbing viruses, thus significantly reducing risk to employees and visitors. The company is now marketing the coating to any and all public institutions as a means of reducing the risk of Swine Flu infection.

The Deputy Director for Marketing at Imat, said that the solution is a simple one. "The coating is anti-bacterial and has unique characteristics that prevent the viruses' absorption into the wall," Gal Volokh explained. "After conducting tests in the company's labs we decided to widen its distribution to public institutions and organisations in order to fight the spread of the disease. The coating comes in a wide range of colors and can easily be applied using a brush, a roller or by spraying."

The material is already in used in Israeli Hospitals, Medical Centres and Factories.
