Nanotechnology to kill a cold?

in #technology7 years ago (edited)

Nanotechnology is taking over the world! Skynet? Run for the hills.
Ok..kidding..it's not that bad.

In my ongoing mission to educate people on the benefits and opportunities surrounding new nanotechnology advances that can truly make a difference.

First off...disclaimer. I am not a chemist but I work with some of the top chemists in Canada. I own a nanotechnology based company and am involved in the development, marketing, and distribution of these products. I get to be involved in some amazing projects. That is my background. Someone asked so there is my answer. Listen if you want or not. I am only trying to share a bit of what I have learned.

So let's start. You, your family, and your pets deserve to be safe! Can you use nanotechnology to kill the common cold? How about flus, E-Coli, black mold, fungi, kennel cough, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, etc., etc.? Yes you can as there is a nano-product that does this very easily and safely.

One important thing that people don't truly understand in dealing with common disinfectants is contact time. Almost all disinfectants that you use to clean your homes, cars, cribs, and anything else where it could be unclean, with require the product to remain on the surface. It has to stay wet. It is only working when it's wet. Moist towelettes that you use and the surface is dry the second you wipe over it you might as well have spritzed some water on it. If you wipe a counter with a cleaner and it is dry right after you finish...no Bueno. If it evaporates your contact time is over. Most things you are trying to get rid of require either a 5 or 10 minute contact time to kill it. Your counter has to stay wet for 10 minutes with your cleaner or you haven't killed a thing. And that is why people keep sharing daycare diseases. Gross.
Who has got time for that!

Enter the wonderful magic of nanotechnology.
Wizardry?

Nope...science bitches!

There is a new way to deliver the protection you are looking for. Using the power of nanotechnology there is a disinfectant that not only ensures the proper contact time but creates an ultrathin (approx. twice as thick as DNA) and completely safe coating that holds the disinfectant protective powers in place and doesn't let them evaporate away.
WHAT?
Yep. The amazing thing is that it is 100% proven. Lab tests, field tests, aeronautical testing (yes it is approved for commercial airlines) approved for food surfaces and much more. Complete biocompatibility testing done to prove not dangerous to you.
What else? How about ensuring you have protection for 10 days. The nanotechnology based layer that is created has been clinically proven to last 10 days and in some cases way beyond. The longest test showed protection after 180 days. 1/2 a year.
How do I put this amazing coating on?
A futuristic ray disperser that needs it's own generator. Nope. Point and spray. Or use a premade wipe. Nothing different then what you are doing today.
I know what some of you are thinking. I bet it costs more. Yep it does...but it works like you think the others are. Why buy ones that don't work but are cheap? Instead just wipe your counters with your dollar bills and then throw them in the garbage. Same effect. Sounds arrogant and maybe is but the point is that blunt.
Know what you are doing, using, and the real results you want are possible.

I am not going to share the name of our coating as I don't want this to be an advertisement.
Just know that there is some great nanotechnology out there.

BUT...BE CAREFUL. There are also some very dangerous ones. That is for a later post but please stay away from anything that contains nano-silver or TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) as a hard surface disinfectant. Think cancer. Those technologies have a place where they can be safely used but not in the home disinfectant market. AND guess what? People are selling you that everyday. Some are even coming in and spraying it everywhere in your home. Beware and stayed tuned for my next post on the dangers of these.

Thanks and I will try to answer your questions left in the comments.

Very interesting indeed.

Are you involved at all with products that can be used to kill off viruses that are in a dog/cats living environment for example (parvo virus)

The answer to that is yes and no. First off, yes, our products are used in small animal vet clinics today. The second is no...we haven't tested against parvo-virus yet. We have tested against feline calicivirus which we are effective against. It is somewhat similar to parvo but calcivirus is easier to kill. Lots of ones we have tested including Viral Swine Fever, Bovine Herpes, BVD, all human and animal Flu Viruses (H1N1, H5N1, etc.), Coronavirus, norovirus (sick cruise ship), and LOTS more. Working on PEDv, Parvo, and PRRS. Lots of fun stuff.

Thanks for your reply @procyon21

Yes you have extremely interesting work ahead of you.. never mind the fun you are having at the moment :-)

I hope that there will be some solution for the parvo outbreaks soon in the future. In the town I live in it is an absolute epidemic already..

Very sad too because the premises stays risky for so long even after the infected animal is deceased.

Best product we have around here is something called F10 disinfectants not sure if you would know it at all.

Not sure about that one. Sounds like one I should check out and see if it is safe. :) Thanks for letting me know about it.

Very interesting and fun to read!

Thanks Balex! Glad you enjoyed.

Interesting idea, my main concern would be the effect on our internal beneficial bacteria such as the concern with antibacterial soap. Have you addressed that concern in your testing?

Hi Openparadigm. The good news is 3 fold. One is that our technology is non-leaching. It doesn't bleed onto our food if a counter is coated, doesn't come off the counter onto hands, etc. The second part is we have full biocompatibility testing completed. The third is that one of the issues around weak disinfectants...ones that are always advertising kills 99.9% of germs are really offering little protection. In the disinfection game you are looking for higher log than log 3. 99.99% is log 4, 99.999% is log 5, etc. Log 3 which is almost always what these guys have kills off the easy to kill and often beneficial bacteria. Unfortunately disinfection kills good stuff too. The 99.9% thus leaves behind a surface which is void of most good bacteria and leaves behind the nasty, stronger stuff. And remember the old saying, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Same applies here. That is why I think people should really take the time to learn what they are really using. 99.9%....you are better off rinsing with water. Now that is an exaggeration but I'm not far from a serious statement.
Thanks for commenting.

interesting looking forward to hearing more about it
