Bio-Gate AG has successfully launched the new antiviral and antibacterial MSGB-Tec Protective Film Spray. The spray is being used in the public transport system in Nuremberg to supplement the existing hygiene measures. This was preceded by a successful field study in buses, in which the Protective Film Spray showed a high and lasting efficacy. Even more than a week after spraying, a germ reduction of around 90% was measured on the handrails, straps, handles and seats of the buses that were tested. This was achieved under the normal, daily use of the buses during passenger transport. In addition to its lasting effect, Bio-Gate's Protective Film Spray is skin-friendly and easy to apply. Besides the handrails and handles, the spray can also be applied to the seats and other textile surfaces. If the technology is applied e.g. directly after basic cleaning, the hygiene status can be maintained or extended for a longer period of time, as cleaning and disinfection measures usually do not last long. VAG in Nuremberg is one of the first adopters of the MSBG-Tec impregnation spray in Germany, along with another domestic transport company and customers abroad. Follow-up orders are in preparation. The spray application is always verified by a certified test laboratory that checks the effectiveness of the treatment. The MSGB-Tec Protective Film Spray has been proven to inactivate enveloped viruses. In addition to the current corona virus (SARS-CoV-2), these include SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and flu viruses. It represents a modern concept for a more sustainable treatment that strengthens the effectiveness of existing cleaning cycles and it is suitable for COVID-19 prevention. The spray also has an antibacterial effect and has an odour-binding technology that immediately reduces unpleasant odours in mass transport vehicles. The use of Bio-Gate's solutions in public institutions and local public transport is a forward-looking measure to respond to the second wave of increasing COVID-19 infection rates. Especially in public transport, the safety of passengers can be further increased with additional passive hygiene standards. In addition to the use of the spray, Bio-Gate organises regular hygiene monitoring, which is carried out by a certified laboratory from Nuremberg on a random basis in all means of transport or other public facilities.
