ENHANCED MAINTENANCE ANTIVIRAL COATINGS FOR CABIN SURFACES
20210388217 · 2021-12-16 ·

A protective enhanced-maintenance antiviral coating for interior components of a passenger cabin is disclosed. In embodiments, the enhanced-maintenance antiviral coating incorporates into the antiviral coating indicating agents, e.g., reflective or fluorescent compounds that combine with the antiviral coating without otherwise impeding its antiviral and/or antibacterial properties. The enhanced-maintenance antiviral coating is applied to external surfaces of the interior components of an aircraft cabin or other mobile platform especially prone to frequent physical contact by multiple individuals. The indicating agent reacts via reflectivity and/or fluorescence when ultraviolet (UV) band or otherwise specialized lighting is applied to the external surfaces. A lack of reflectivity or fluorescence may be interpreted as significant wear or damage to the antiviral coating, for which corrective actions may be taken.

TOILET SEAT APPARATUS AND EXCREMENT DETECTION APPARATUS
