Covalon Announces New Breakthrough Antimicrobial Technology Formulated to Kill The COVID-19 Virus
2 min readMISSISSAUGA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Covalon Technologies Ltd. (the “Company” or “Covalon”) (TSXV: COV; OTCQX: CVALF), an advanced medical technologies company, announces today its new breakthrough antimicrobial technology formulated to kill the COVID-19 virus (or “SARS-CoV-2”) and other viruses, bacteria, and pathogens.
The new technology, called CovaGuard™, has been specifically formulated to be effective at killing pathogens like the COVID-19 virus on contact with the added benefit of providing persistent protection by trapping and deactivating microbes over an extended period of time. Based on testing to date, the CovaGuard technology has demonstrated sustained activity of up to four days. The CovaGuard technology is designed to be safely applied on skin as well as protective medical equipment like masks and gloves, whether used for the first time or reused. The Company has filed for a patent on the CovaGuard technology. Like most sanitizers, CovaGuard adheres to the United States Centers for Disease Control guidelines by utilizing a high concentration of alcohol as its base to provide immediate contact-killing effectiveness within seconds. However, the alcohol quickly evaporates and stops killing microbes. To overcome this, the breakthrough CovaGuard technology is formulated with other ingredients that are intended to continue to remain active and provide sustained protection for days after the alcohol has evaporated. CovaGuard forms an invisible protective film barrier on skin and a wide variety of surfaces, including non-porous materials and fabrics such as medical masks and protective clothing. CovaGuard creates a lasting protective effect using a mixture of compounds that contain active antiviral and antimicrobial agents that work together to trap, deactivate, and kill viruses like the COVID-19 virus, bacteria, and other pathogens.
