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.

Kathy Ireland will interview Curran Biotech Founder and CIO with Fox News Media

On Sunday (18th July, 2021) Kathy Ireland from Kathy Ireland Worldwide will interview Curran Biotech founder, Prof. Shay Curran, and CIO, Dr. Ken Russell with Fox News Media at Fox Business Network which is a national broadcast. This will be with regards the work we have done with Capture Coating™ and how we can mitigate the issues with airborne SARS-CoV-2, especially with light of the delta variant. The show will be broadcast on Sunday 18th July 5.30 ET across North America and also on Facebook, YouTube, and other social media outlets. Also featured will be Eileen Mellon, Alexander Wang Surendra Maharjan, PhD all from Curran Biotech as well as Ben Mills from Camden Property Trust, Dan Quinn from Prohealth 2020 and Ahkil Kara from M.A.N.S Distributors, Inc.. If you go to Curran Biotech for enquiries, we will redirect you to our sales team or our suppliers and distributors.

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

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.

Press Release: Curran Biotech's Capture Coating™ Transforms Everyday Air Filters into Virus Fighting Front-Line Tools in the Battle Against COVID-19, Contributing to the Safety of Filtered Air

HOUSTON, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- An innovative nanocoating from Curran Biotech stops the spread and lingering impacts of viruses (including SARS-COV-2, the coronavirus/COVID-19). When applied to common air filters for either home or commercial HCVAC systems, Curran Biotech's Capture CoatingTM permanently bonds to the porous materials within a filter, stopping viruses, bacteria, and fungi while not impacting airflow/breathability.

September 29, 2020

A physics professor from the University of Houston has developed a nanotech coating designed to allow air filters to capture airborne or aerosolized droplets of the virus that causes COVID-19.

The coating works by capturing liquids which encase the virus particles while still allowing air to flow through unimpeded. That allows ventilation systems to remove the virus during normal operation, without retrofitting or limiting the system’s ability to draw fresh air, said Seamus Curran, a physics professor known for his work commercializing nanotechnologies.
