AFFIX Labs and Franz Kiel GmbH strike deal to use Si-Quat, an anti-microbial coating effective against the virus that causes COVID-19, for the global transportation industry.
Prevent Cross Contamination
AFFIX Labs’ anti-microbial surface coating is being deployed to protect public transport interiors from contagious microbes such as the SARS-COV-2 virus.
Now, AFFIX Labs’ durable semi-permanent surface coating Si-Quat, that is proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, including SARS-COV-2, will be helping to make public transport safer as people around the world begin getting back onto buses and trains.
Si-Quat helps to prevent cross contamination with a durable layer of polymerized active ingredient that binds to walls, handles, furniture, and other key touch points, staying in place for up to 12 months and killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria that meet the treated surface.
The coating has been tested and certified to be effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and has passed the rigorous EN45545-2 HL3 flammability norm for trains and REG118.3 for busses.
Kiel has been manufacturing high quality seating for public transport globally for more than 75 years and will now be offering Si-Quat to clients as a new solution to protect travelers on their transport networks. With Si-Quat already registered on several continents a quick roll out is truly achievable.
“
We are delighted to be working with AFFIX Labs to roll out Si-Quat in public transport systems around the world. It’s easy to apply, it works and we have had great support from the AFFIX-Labs team. We hope that our partnership can help to re-open countries and boost passengers trust in once again using public transport,” said Daniel Fräde, Kiel’s sales director bus division.
