What

about “Hygiene”? Yes, Advanced Paint Technology

Helps!

Indoor Environment quality: Hygiene

Indoor Environment quality: Hygiene

88% of the mothers admitted that they tend to overlook that wall is a medium for transmit of viruses & bacteria.

80% agreed that their children touches the wall during playtime; or

79% says that their kids often uses / touches the wall in their daily activities

86% of the interviewed mothers stated that they do not clean the wall as often as the floor.

Hygiene

Advancement in Paint

Technology

Painting our walls with “Anti-Viral Paint” to reduce contact with viruses and bacteria in our daily life!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Advancement in Paint

Technology

One of the world's oldest natural

antimicrobials.

Safe & Environment friendly.

Microbes or Viruses are less likely to

develop resistance to silver ions.

Effective in controlling and eradicating a

number of micro-organisms and viruses

such as H1N1, HFMD, E.Coli, MRSA,

Staphylococcus aureaus etc.

Dissociated silver ion

Silver ion associated

with functional

polymer

Silver Ion

After painting “VirusGuard”

① Drying

② Formation of paint film

③ Appearance of silver ions

on the surface

Virus

Three prong mechanism of silver

ions to destroy micro-organism

and viruses:

① Attachment & then destroy the

cell membrane

② Stop reproduction

③ Inhibit Metabolism

Silver Ion Technology & Mechanism

Attach and then destroy the cell membrane (bacteria, fungi,

virus)

Attachment

Silver Ion Technology & Mechanism

Stop its reproduction capability by: de-nature the protein DNA/RNA

(bacteria, fungi, virus)

Silver Ion Technology & Mechanism

Inhibits Metabolism: Inhibits enzyme reactions that help turn sugar into

energy thus blocking metabolic process and functions (bacteria, fungi)

Silver Ion Technology & Mechanism

Type of Virus % Reduction After 24 hours Exposure

Time

HFMD ( Coxackie virus A16) > 90%

Influenza A ( H1N1 Virus) > 90%

Anti-Virus efficacy test for coating using Silver ion technology was performed in an

independent US lab.

The result demonstrated a (>90%) reduction of HFMD virus and Influenza A ( H1N1)

Virus.

Independent Lab Test: Anti Virus Efficacy of “VIRUSGUARD”

What about

“sensory” &

“Comfort”?

Yes, Advanced Paint Technology

Helps!

Indoor Environment Quality

Sensory

Indoor Environment Quality:

Indoor Temperature

1. Solar radiation absorbed by buildings;

2. Indoor temperature increases: decreases comfort and increases air-conditioning energy consumption.

Thermal Comfort

Technological Solution for

Indoor Temperature

… reflecting “heat”

only;

Without causing

glare to human

eyes! .

Thermal Comfort

Technological Solution

for Indoor Temperature

“Colourful” Heat Reflective Paint

In the past, only white exterior paint could reduce heat build up by

reflecting heat and infra-red light.

Now, homes and buildings can stay cool indoor when it is scorching hot

outside, using very colorful “SolaReflect” exterior wall paints.

Thermal Comfort
