Wallpaper producer Grandeco is aiming to reduce the threat of germs, disease, and sickness spreading in both commercial and private spaces with the launch of a new self-disinfecting wallpaper – Pure & Protect – which incorporates Nobacoat, a disinfectant coating made by the Belgian company Sichem.
The coating has been extensively tested and has already been used in various industries such as the automotive and construction, and has over 25 years of development to ensure effectiveness.
During the production process of the wallpaper, a positively charged coating is added to the wallpaper, in contrast to the negatively charged harmful particles in the air. Bacteria, viruses, and moulds are attracted by this coating and efficiently eliminated. The coating boasts an elimination rate of 99.9 per cent in one hour and stays effective for at least 12 years. This is a mechanical process and not chemical, making it completely safe to use.
The coating also adds to the surface abrasion resistance, meaning it can withstand regular wiping and scrubbing, and is resilient to wear and tear. The wallpaper also prevents mould by eradicating fungi spurs in the same way it does viruses. This is essential during the cost of living crisis which is seeing many businesses lower their thermostats.
Grandeco WallFashion Group CEO said: “By taking a proactive approach to fighting bacteria, viruses and even mould, the Pure & Protect® technology aims to make work, commercial and even private spaces safer to be in.
“COVID-19 caught the world unprepared and as pandemics are predicted to become more frequent, it is now crucial we take precautions to prevent germs spreading so easily in our homes and work spaces.
“Pure & Protect® wallpaper allows companies to take control, protecting spaces, such as children’s nurseries and schools, care homes and hospitals, to keep our most vulnerable safe and minimise disruption.”
