Stop COVID-19 with antiviral surfaces

Introducing Tylon Topcoat®

Imagine a world where deadly microbes were deactivated on contact with manufactured surfaces. Viral outbreaks, like COVID-19, could be slowed down, and antibiotic-resistant infections would not fester in healthcare facilities. Luckily, the future is not far off.   

Tylon Topcoat® is a revolutionary new antimicrobial coating that combines the same organic compounds found in conventional hospital cleaners with exfoliated graphite in a groundbreaking process, resulting in a durable, permanent topcoat that eliminates pathogens on contact.   

Normally, viruses like COVID-19 can live for up to 3 days on a surface, and other organisms such as bacteria can live for much longer than that. Conventional cleaners only eliminate pathogens during the cleaning process – the surface can become contaminated immediately afterward. Tylon Topcoat® makes a wide variety of surfaces antimicrobial/viral, greatly reducing human exposure to bacterial and viral infections.

Tylon Topcoat® Properties

Non-Toxic Formula

Unlike many broad-spectrum antimicrobial products, Tylon Topcoat® requires no metallic compounds, such as silver, which can have toxic and potentially carcinogenic side-effects. Our coating, which utilizes the same organic antimicrobial as used in hospital cleaners, permanently adheres to surfaces, providing long-lasting protection from pathogens.

Environmentally Friendly

Heavy metal-containing coatings have been disastrous to our environment, especially our oceans. Regulatory bodies are keen to ban their use entirely. Tylon Topcoat® provides a safe and environmentally benign alternative to metal-based antimicrobial.

Durable

The majority of organic antimicrobial films are weak or easily washed away. Those that are not are expensive or very difficult to apply. Tylon Topcoat® is extremely robust without any toxic chemicals and simple to apply to nearly any surface, making it an ideal topcoat in even the most demanding applications.

 

Versatile

Tylon Topcoat® can be easily applied to nearly any surface through either a brush or a spray system. It can be rendered nearly permanent by applying a simple, extremely safe curing solution to the surface after application. The unique molecular architecture of our patented formula enables adhesion to surfaces that are traditionally difficult to coat.

Extreme Barrier

While Tylon Topcoat® is hailed for its revolutionary antimicrobial properties, it also works as an excellent protective barrier to underlying surfaces. It is impermeable to most gases and extremely resistant to acids and organic solvents, protecting underlying surfaces from corrosion, chemicals and physical abrasion.

Low Cost

Tylon Topcoat® exclusively utilizes off-the-shelf chemicals, keeping product cost low and reducing potential risk. Similar products often require frequent re-application or require expensive silver-based compounds, greatly increasing costs.

Tylon QuickSpray®

Tylon Topcoat® is most durable when applied at the manufacturing stage. However, in order to combat the growing COVID-19 pandemic, our team has developed a spray solution that can be quickly and easily applied to nearly any surface or object. A second step curing spray gives the coating long-lasting antiviral protection. However, this formula does wash off with certain cleaning products, such as bleach, so reapplication is recommended on high traffic surfaces which require frequent deep sanitation.
