HOUSTON, Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading nanotech company, Curran Biotech, recognized the viral transmission of COVID-19, including Delta and the new Omicron variants, was in the air and not on surfaces so they developed Capture Coating™ for ordinary air filters. The revolutionary new nanocoating is easy to apply and rejects liquid-based contagions like COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 and variants, influenzas, and rhinoviruses and is available via ready-to-use sprays or pretreated air filters.

Capture Coating™ is protecting work environments and public gathering spaces including those at Comcast, Camden Properties, correctional facilities, hospitals, school districts, and universities. With the success of the introduction of the coated air filters, Curran Biotech announces distribution throughout North America and Western Europe.

Also available in 10 oz or 330 mL spray bottles

"We are addressing the need for getting Capture Coating™ to as many people as we can, as quickly as possible," says Professor Shay Curran, Curran Biotech founder. "Our coating establishes a permanent, water-repellent, antiviral barrier on the air filter in your home or office. In fact, Capture Coating™ enables less expensive filters rated as MERV 8 to perform better than MERV 13 without a dramatic change in filter expense or installation of new capital equipment."

Capture Coating™ has been independently tested and has been found to transform everyday air filters into a viral fighting front-line tool in the battle against COVID-19, stopping the virus, variants, and other aqueous airborne contagions at the air filter within HVAC heating and cooling systems.

Taking the Fight Against COVID-19 Global: Curran Biotech's Capture Coating™ Now Available via Distribution in the UK, Canada, Ireland, and Throughout the USA

HOUSTON, Aug. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Capture Coating™, the easy to apply coating that transforms everyday air filters into virus fighting front-line tools in the battle against COVID-19 is expanding its availability and distribution into Canada, the UK, and Ireland through new distribution routes.

Professor Shay Curran, Curran Biotech founder and Trinity College, Dublin Ireland alum, welcomes Brad Silvaggio from ViruSolve, western Canada's leader in environmental infection control, Jay Lyall from the Decon Group Unlimited (Burlington, Ontario), Roy Barroso from CNET Building Maintenance Services (Ontario), Paul Howlett of Sudelac Limited of Scotland, and Ireland's John Sweeney from RDI Systems to a growing global distribution network.

"Capture Coating™ filters viral aerosols in the air and allows people to gather safely indoors —working with our new expanded global partners accelerates our efforts to get this powerful tool to everyone," says Curran. "If you are concerned about the safety of air indoors, just ask your building supervisor or facilities manager for Capture Coating™ by name." The coating is easy to apply and rejects liquid-based contaminants like COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2, influenzas—even rhinoviruses.

Curran Biotech's Capture Coating

With Curran Biotech's Capture Coating, ordinary air filters become powerful tools in the fight against COVID-19

Curran Biotech's Capture Coating™ highlighted on Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®

PRNewswire/ -- Kathy Ireland welcomed Curran Biotech founder, Professor Shay Curran, and Chief Innovation Officer, Dr. Ken Russell, on her weekly Fox Business Network show and showcased Curran Biotech's Capture Coating™, which is contributing to the safety of filtered air.

"The air gets through, the liquid doesn't! That's amazing!" exclaimed an excited Kathy Ireland.

Curran described the process as "a nanocoating that can remove nanoparticles of COVD-19 from the air by using air filtration systems." Rather than just using a form of detergent to kill bacteria, viruses, or fungi in real-time—having no lasting benefit—Curran Biotech addresses the problem of protecting buildings from transmission differently: a new approach of stopping contagions at the surface of air filters without compromising airflow, energy-efficiency, and HVAC operational set points.

Curran Biotech founder, Prof. Shay Curran, and CIO, Dr. Ken Russell get interviewed by Kathy Ireland

Curran Biotech founder, Prof. Shay Curran, and CIO, Dr. Ken Russell went to see Kathy Ireland in Santa Barbara for our big interview about 'Capture Coating' that is used to stop the spread of Covid-19. She is fantastic and her team is second to none. This is a sneak peek of what we were discussing: it is all about stopping the spread of viruses, especially SARS-CoV-2. Now that the CDC has made its announcement last week about face masks, we are now down to the honor system and/or using 'Capture Coating' in filters to prevent the spread of Covid-19. #covid #interview #interview #ai #health

UH Facilities Using New Technology Developed by UH Physicist to Fight COVID-19

Capture Coating in different sizes

Water beading on air filter coated with Capture Coating

The Facilities/Construction Management Preventive Maintenance team is implementing a new nanotech coating, called Capture Coating, developed at the University of Houston by Seamus Curran, professor of physics.

This coating will improve the ability of air filters to trap the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 illness. It was developed at UH's Technology Bridge by Curran Biotech. 

Facilities/Construction Management is working to install this new technology in all buildings that have less than MERV-13 rated filters in time for the Fall 2021 academic semester. The MERV rating system reflects a filter’s ability to capture particles of varying sizes.

Curran Biotech's new nanocoating could prevent indoor transmission of COVID-19

A new nanocoating from Curran Biotech could dramatically improve air filtration to prevent the spread of COVID-19 indoors.

Their Capture Coating technology acts as a supplement to any household or commercial HVAC system by bonding to the filter fibers, giving them greater hydrophobic properties. This combined effect prevents virus-carrying droplets from traveling through the filter fibers, which, without the treatment, only prevent some viral transmission.

“ ‘Capture Coating’ is designed to mitigate and significantly decrease viral transmission of COVID-19 through specified air filtration media by forming a breathable, flexible, non-leaching, water-repellent barrier against aqueous respiratory droplets that act as virion carriers that can potentially be recirculated through conventional air-filters,” wrote Curran Biotech founder and University of Houston physics professor Shay Curran in an email. Despite the molecular complexity of the coating, the product itself can simply be sprayed onto an HVAC system’s filter.
