Nippon Launches New Paint To Safeguard Against HFMD And H1N1 Virus

摘要

Nippon VirusGuard, a new paint formula to safeguard against Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) and the H1N1 virus, is now available for the Malaysian market. Produced by Nippon Paint Malaysia, the paint which was developed with "Silver Ion Technology," is the first of its kind to have anti-viral and anti-bacterial coating to inhibit the growth of viruses and bacteria on painted surfaces. "Nippon VirusGuard can help mitigate the spread of contagious diseases such as HFMD and H1N1. The revolutionary water-based hygiene paint prevents the growth of micro-organisms using a controlled ion-release system, besides featuring low odor with low volatile organic compounds (VOC)," said Nippon Paint, group managing director, Yaw Seng Heng. Yaw said Nippon Paint is also working with relevant parties to come up with an anti-mosquito wall paint to combat dengue, a growing problem worldwide.
