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.

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

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.

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.
