Description:
EnvisionSQ has developed an innovative disinfectant for application on virtually any surface, either in-situ or off-site, to help prevent spread of bacteria and viruses. This product is currently being submitted to Health Canada for approval. GermStopSQ is designed as a high-performing antimicrobial and antiviral disinfectant that works around the clock. The liquid formulation kills on contact and when dry, creates a clear, selfsanitizing coating material that ruptures the target organism’s protective outer covering. Independent tests show the GermStopSQ coating is more than 99.9999% effective at killing a broad range of microbes and 99.993% effective at killing coronavirus 229E, a recognized proxy for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Thanks to its nanoengineered properties and unique polymer structure, GermStopSQ bonds to both hard and soft surfaces. It can be applied using a variety of delivery modes — spraying, rolling or wiping — depending on the type of surface. Once applied, it creates an invisible and durable film network structure. Its active ingredient is designed to keep surfaces disinfected for days, while a special photocatalytic ingredient provides additional disinfection every time it’s exposed to light. With this project, Envision SQ aims to optimize the GermStopSQ formulation for use in enclosed spaces and around sensitive equipment.
