Curran Biotech is a materials manufacturing company that provides nanocoatings to biochemical, chemical, energy, and construction industries including water-repellent and virus-stopping coatings for fabrics/filters. Our newest product Capture Coating™ is designed and formulated for all types of fabrics/filter media using patented nanotechnology that imparts superhydrophobicity, non-toxicity, and breathability.

Rather than just using a form of detergent to kill bacteria, viruses, or fungi in real-time—having no lasting benefit—we address the problem of protecting buildings from transmission differently: a new methodology of stopping contagions at the surface of air filters without compromising airflow, energy-efficiency, and HVAC operational set points. Our coatings reject liquid-based contaminants. SARS-CoV-2, for example, in its most infectious state is surrounded by a liquid mucus; using that knowledge we can physically stop the virus at the filter surface and capture it in our “Capture Coating™”.

Water droplets (color added) are highly repelled by Capture Coating™-treated MERV 8 air filter (left) while water droplets are completely absorbed by untreated MERV 8 air filter (right).
