A new bacteria-killing paint shows powerful promise in eliminating dangerous pathogens like MRSA and COVID-19 from hard surfaces. nfused with chlorhexidine, a trusted dental disinfectant, the coating works on plastics and metals and activates once dry. Collaborating with industrial paint maker Indestructible Paint, the team aims to bring this innovation to hospitals, public transport, and even aerospace, helping combat the persistent threat of surface-transmitted infections and antibiotic resistance.
Revolutionary Paint Destroys Dangerous Bacteria and Viruses
Scientists have developed a bacteria-killing coating that has been successfully tested in a new type of paint designed to eliminate harmful microbes on a variety of surfaces. This innovative paint is effective against bacteria and viruses, including hard-to-kill species such as MRSA, influenza, and COVID-19.
