Just in time for fall to start, accadis ISB is guiding its students even more safely through the cold season. Door handles, toilet push plates, table tops and other surfaces are now self-disinfecting thanks to a coating that prevents viruses, bacteria and other pathogens from adhering.
Eradicating corona and influenza viruses without using pesticides
In times of pandemic, the treatment of surfaces is more important than ever. That's why, from September 24 to 26, 2021, the Frankfurt-based company Wonderwall coated numerous surfaces on school grounds with an innovative coating to prevent microorganisms from adhering to them. This "coating process" is based on two steps. First, the surface to be treated is cleaned and polymerized. Then, by applying the coating spray, a non-migrating and antibacterial glass layer is formed.
Unlike conventional disinfection processes, the Molybsan technology used alters the surface energy and resistance of the treated surface in such a way that microorganisms such as SARS-CoV-2 or influenza A viruses cannot adhere.
The purely physical effect does not use pesticides or similar substances. The certified effect lasts for at least a year and builds up again on its own within an hour after contact.
A sense of security despite hand on the door handle
"We are pleased to offer our students such a safe learning environment," says accadis ISB Bildung Managing Partner Professor Dr. Christoph Kexel. "We can now break infection chains even more quickly and easily. Students, teachers and staff will feel more comfortable touching door handles, toilet push plates, faucet fixtures, handrails in the stairwells, and table tops in the classrooms, Preschool and cafeteria."
The difference is – by the way – not visible on the surfaces. That's why Wonderwall took and will take surface measurements before and after treatment. "In this way, we can detect the protective effect that is still present even after a few months," says Professor Dr. Christoph Kexel.
By the way: Two accadix, Tabea and Henri Gurlitt, participate in the founded family business: Tabea completed her graduate studies this year and Henri is in the third year of his undergraduate studies.
