What You'll Learn
- Comprehensive Pathogen Mitigation: Discover how NanoRAD coatings enhance disinfection on cruise ships by generating hydrogen peroxide at a microscopic level to inactivate viruses like norovirus and bacteria. This self-disinfecting technology continuously combats pathogens, significantly lowering the risk of illness outbreaks among passengers and crew.
- Effective Application Across High-Touch Areas: Learn about the application of NanoRAD coatings in high-traffic and high-touch areas on a cruise ship, including stateroom bathrooms, medical offices, public restrooms, water fountains, and brass railings. These targeted applications resulted in substantial reductions in bacterial counts, with an over 99% decrease in CFU on treated surfaces in stateroom restrooms.
- Enhanced Cleaning Protocols: Gain insights from the study’s findings, indicating a marked improvement in microbial reduction when NanoRAD treatments are used in conjunction with standard cleaning protocols. The study highlights NanoRAD’s potential to mitigate human error in cleaning practices, providing continuous and effective surface disinfection, thereby ensuring passenger safety and reducing the likelihood of disease transmission on cruise ships.
