Protect the Surfaces of your Home or Workplace from Germs with BR Shield Antimicrobial Coating

Every day we come into contact with germs including pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Practically everything we touch is certain to have germs on it, some harmless and some definitely not. Pathogenic bacteria, such as E.coli, Staph and certain moulds, can cause severe illness and are easily contracted from surfaces that aren’t adequately cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis.

More notable these days are highly contagious and virulent pathogenic viruses such as COVID-19 which has an extremely high propensity to spread to large numbers of people via contaminated surfaces and re-infect large numbers of other people.

Traditional Disinfection versus BR Shield Antimicrobial Coating

Whilst traditional disinfection methods have their place, they also have their significant limitations, as they only provide a ‘one off’ very short-lived intervention with little to no residual action at all. This leaves the surface entirely vulnerable to re-infection almost immediately after treatment.

Not so with ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’! A single application of this highly efficient disinfection agent not only provides an almost instantaneous 99.99% reduction in pathogens, but it also goes on doing so 24/7/365 for over 180 days and routine cleaning only enhances its efficacy and longevity. This in turn, provides complete safety and peace of mind.

Seeing is Believing

In addition to highly specific technical laboratory tests (all of which BR Shield passes with flying colors) we have also conducted a simple visual ‘litmus test’ that demonstrates the difference between a treated and an untreated surface. Our “seeing is believing” experiment visually proves the long-term efficacy of ‘BR Shield’.

From our experiment, it can be clearly seen in the picture that the bread treated with BR Shield has remained completely ‘mould free’ even after a period of more than 30 days.

Bread Not treated vs bread treated with br shield

The image unequivocally reveals how the untreated control sample has been fully colonised by the moulds and the BR Shield treated surface completely inhibits the growth of microorganisms.

Surface Protection 180 Days

BRShield is a durable long-lasting chemically bonded residual antimicrobial coating containing a quaternary based organo-silane compound. This scientifically proven chemical formula is unique in that it bonds chemically at the molecular level onto any surface to which it is applied.

Once chemically bonded, the surface coating cannot be easily removed after routine cleaning and housekeeping procedures including the regular use of alcohol or alkaline based detergents.

Therefore, once bonded to the treated surface, this semi-permanent antimicrobial surface coating will provide consistent, residual protection against 99% of all known pathogens and deliver a 99.99% or 4 log reductions in their numbers 24/7 for min of 180 days surface antimicrobial protection.

The BRShield Difference

The BR Microbe Shield Advantage

Not all antimicrobial coatings are created equal. It’s important to understand the basic chemical, physical, and biological properties of an antimicrobial so the best choice can be made. Because of its unique mode of action and inability to migrate from a treated surface, our technology is the obvious choice to minimize environmental contamination and the development of resistant organisms. Our products are safe for the environment, humans, and pets. They are non-dissipating, non-leaching, non-migrating from the applied substrate and cannot be absorbed by micro-organisms or by humans.

The Technology behind BR Shield Coating

BR Shield is a reactive saline quaternary ammonium compound, which provides permanent antiviral and antimicrobial coatings to any surface it is applied to. This eliminates the risk of cross contamination and the subsequent spread of pathogenic organisms from one person to another.

Therefore, this precludes the transfer of the COVID-19 virus via its most common route of transmission and subsequent infection, from one person to another via a contaminated surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Antimicrobial Coating

What is antimicrobial surface coating, and how does it work?
Antimicrobial coatings are invisible coatings containing antimicrobial agents such as silver nanoparticles or biocides. They’re made to keep pathogens or disease-causing germs including bacteria, fungus, molds, and yeasts from growing or spreading for a long time. To prevent harmful microorganisms from developing and mutating on the surface, they use the notion of cellular disruption.

Antimicrobial coating enhances the look, durability, and corrosion resistance of surfaces in addition to protecting them from harmful infections. They keep working even after repeated exposure to water and frequent cleaning.

With just one application, a specially designed antimicrobial coating may keep surfaces free of human coronavirus for up to 180 days. This coating attacks the virus’s protective fat layer by denaturing its proteins.

Antimicrobial vs. Antibacterial – What’s the difference?
Antibacterial coatings use agents which are only effective against broad-spectrum bacteria, such as MRSA and E.coli. they usually integrate silver active ingredients and work by inhibiting bacterial cells’ initial adhesion to a surface.

In contrast, antimicrobial coatings utilize chemical agents or technology toxic to various microorganisms, particularly those that are pathogenic, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They also contain additives which can shield surfaces from mildew and odour-causing bacteria. Their active ingredients typically include quaternary ammonium compounds. Since they offer a greater level of protection than antibacterial coatings, they are often used in hygiene critical environments, such as hospitals, schools and commercial kitchens.

What is BR Shield?
BRShield is an anti-microbial. In a time where ‘Clean’ has been redefined, its intended use is not to replace disinfectants nor normal cleaning protocols but to supplement the process. The application of BR Shield is to add a layer of 24/7 surface protection to inhibit viral contamination and render coated surfaces hostile for the survival of germs.
Why should I use ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ instead of other traditional disinfection methods?
Because other methods of disinfection only work on a ‘one off’ basis. ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ eliminates the risk of infection from cross-contamination 24/7/365 for at least 180 days after treatment.
Will regularly cleaning a treated surface remove ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’?
No! In fact, regular routine cleaning will only serve to enhance and optimise the efficacy of the treatment ensuring that the ongoing disinfection potential remains at maximum efficacy for at least 180 days.
What preparation is necessary prior to applying the treatment?
‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ should be applied to clean, dry surfaces for optimal efficacy.
Does ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ cause mutation and adaptation in micro-organisms and the ‘super-bug’ problem?
No, not at all! Because the treatment destroys pathogens through physical means not by chemical poisoning, so there is NO possibility of any organism building up immunity
What are the most dangerous threats ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ effectively kills?
‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ kills all pathogenic organisms (bacteria, viruses, moulds, yeasts and fungi with a ‘4 log’ level of disinfection efficacy. It continuously eliminates 99.99% of such pathogenic organisms, immediately on contact 24/7/365.
What is the difference between ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ protection and other anti-microbial solutions on the market?

There are two main discriminating characteristics that set ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ apart and in a league of its own.

First, it is NOT a disinfectant based on highly corrosive or toxic chemical activity with a very short term period of efficacy. ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ destroys pathogenic micro-organisms on contact using only a physical method of destruction.

Second, traditional disinfectant solutions are only effective for a very short period of time and once dry, their kill rate diminishes to zero very quickly. Because ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ works in a completely different way, by creating a very stable surface coating that destroys pathogenic organisms through physical contact rather than chemical poisoning.

These characteristics also mean that it can remain effective 24/7/365 for over 180 days following application.

How do I know the ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ treatment process is safe?

There are two reasons for complete reassurance and confidence in this regard.

First, ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ is not based on toxic or corrosive materials. It is a totally safe surface treatment that provides a purely physical means, not a chemical means of microbial destruction.

Secondly, ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ is fully certified to be 100% safe for use in any area where it might be applied.

How long does ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ work?
Because of its physical rather than chemical nature, ‘BR Shield Anti-Microbial Protection’ will continue to provide a highly effective level of disinfection by destroying 99.99% of micro-organisms immediately on contact 24/7/365 for at least 180 days after application.
I understand that the coating can only be removed mechanically via means of abrasion?
This assumption is correct. BRShield is a chemically ‘bonded’ surface coating which means that once applied, it bonds chemically, at the molecular level with the surface to which it has been applied. Therefore, the only way to remove the coating is through physical abrasion such as scrubbing the surface repeatedly and vigorously with coarse pads, wire wool, abrasive based metal polishes and creams.
Can the coating be removed with household soap and water scrubbing?
No! In fact, regular cleaning with soap and water enhances the microbial killing power and longevity of the coating. As it destroys microbes immediately on physical contact, if the surface is left uncleaned for prolonged periods the dead microorganisms begin to clog and degrade the efficacy of the surface. Therefore, regular cleaning with soap and water is good and wiping and rinsing is better than scrubbing.
What about if it meets other disinfectants that contain 70% denatured alcohol, Clorox or Bleach based solutions or Quaternary Ammonium Compound based disinfectants? Will your coating be removed?
As above, BRShield can only be removed from regular or intense abrasion, contact with detergents and sanitisers will only have a positive effect on the antimicrobial properties of the coating.
Are all residual antimicrobial coating create equal?
All antimicrobials coating are not created equal. It’s important to understand the basic chemical, physical, and biological properties of an antimicrobial so the best choice can be made. Because of its unique mode of action and inability to migrate from a treated surface, our technology is the obvious choice to minimize environmental contamination and the development of resistant organisms. Our products are safe for the environment, humans, and pets. They are non-dissipating, non-leaching, non-migrating from the applied substrate and cannot be absorbed by micro-organisms or by humans.
