Devices, systems, and methods for reducing microbial load during product coating
A treatment system, including a conveyor bed configured to transport a plurality of products; a brushing device located along the conveyor bed and having one or more brushes that include a first antimicrobial compound; a surface treatment device including a lamp configured to emit light of a peak wavelength directed toward a portion of the conveyor bed; and a coating device configured to deliver a coating mixture onto the plurality of products on the conveyor bed.
Facemask
A respiratory face mask having a breathing cartridge therein which face mask breathing cartridge can both filter the breathing air while passing the breathing air through a voltage being generated by the cartridge. The cartridge generates a galvanic cell using spaced apart dissimilar metal particles when immersed in an electrolyte being held by an adjacent hydration layer of liquid retaining foamed polymer having breathing passageways therethrough.
Antimicrobial metallized thin films for refurbishing communal contact surfaces
An antimicrobial metallized thin film is provided that can be quickly and easily attached to surfaces of objects. This film includes a polymer substrate onto which a metallized layer is formed. The metallized layer comprises an exposed antimicrobial metal physical contact surface. Ions from this physical contact surface destroy the viral coating and ribonucleic acid of contacting viruses rendering the viruses inactive and noninfectious. The film can be attached via an adhesive layer disposed between and in contact with the polymer substrate and the communal surface. This arrangement allows the film to economically refurbish communal surfaces with a film overlay rather than completely replacing communal surfaces with antimicrobial materials. The film mitigates the likelihood of viruses such as coronaviruses, noroviruses, rhinoviruses, and the like from spreading due to contact with the refurbished communal surfaces.
