 Fayette County Schools decided to partner with PRO-Techs to provide an extra layer of protection to all schools throughout the district. PRO-Techs is a breakthrough antimicrobial 24/7 surface protection nanotechnology registered with the EPA. PRO-Techs creates a 99% effective barrier shield for up to 90 days to prevent the growth of germs and microorganisms on both porous and non-porous.
“It was important for us to find a way to conduct face-to-face instruction with as many students as possible while maintaining high standards of health and safety for students and staff,” said Tim Payton, Director of Operations. “We did not want to completely close our schools like we had to when this pandemic began. We initially applied PRO-Techs to our operational offices with effective reduction of germs and bacteria on all surfaces, and we then decided to scale across the entire county schools. With the success observed from PRO-Techs application in terms of germ protection despite the presence of students interacting with multiple surfaces throughout the day, we decided to continue with further reapplication for year 2021.” PRO-Techs works by bonding to the surface due to its organo-silane base coupled with its positively charged nitrogen at the center and its 18 carbon-chain bed of “nano-swords” at the top, it prevents the growth of microorganisms and germs on any given surface. PRO-Techs Technology is also an environmentally GREEN water-based surface coating that is non-toxic and safe for use around children and pets, and it is registered under the EPA with approval for use on food surface contact; a major differentiation in the marketplace.

 by: Sanford P. Benjamin, M.D., Medical DirectorCommunity-acquired infections (CAI) are a persistent health care challenge and the trend continues upward in children and adults. The major contributing factor for CAI is contamination of “high touch” surfaces by antibiotic resistant microorganisms in the home. Whereas antibiotics were the “wonder drugs of the20th century, antibiotic resistant microbes are now enemy number one. In 2012 and 2014, two separate studies published in the American Journal of Infection Control revealed that in more than 50 percent of the time utilizing customary disinfectants, including bleach, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, copper solution and non-bonded organosilane, hospital surfaces were not adequately cleaned and were re-contaminated within minutes to a few hours. Those are effective microorganism killers but lack staying power. They are not durable. The good news is that a single application of PROTECHS antimicrobial agent has been proven to protect hard and soft surfaces against microorganisms for 3+ months on hard surfaces and 12-18 months on soft surfaces, despite regular cleaning and continuous use. Community-acquired infections are primarily caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria with lesser numbers of virus, fungus, mold and algae. Since there is no predictably effective short-term treatment for antibiotic resistant organisms.
Logical strategy is to protect high-touch, home surfaces from microorganism contamination. PROTECHS antimicrobial features: (1) Silicon oxide protective barrier shield anchored to the home surface by super-strong covalent chemical bonds responsible for long duration effectiveness; (2) When applied to a surface, PROTECHS is non-leaching. It does not migrate, diffuse, dilute, or dissolve away from the application site, thus maintaining the maximum effective kill power concentration; (3) PROTECHS kills all bacteria, including all virus, all fungus, all mold and all algae. (4) PROTECHS kill effectiveness approximates 99 per cent plus reduction in pre-application surface bacterial counts over 3+ months, working day and night, 24/7; (5) PROTECHS kill mechanism is physical, not chemical like other surface disinfectants, utilizing ELECTROCUTION of microorganisms at the molecular level with instantaneous microbe death. No microorganism can survive electrocution. (6) PROTECHS does not provide an environment for adaptive (mutant) “superbug” formation, since the kill mechanism is instantaneous; (7) When sprayed on a surface, PROTECHS is colorless, odorless and does not change the surface appearance when applied; (8) PROTECHS may be applied to all surfaces. So how is PROTECHS relevant to the home and family market? The domestic acquired infections of serious consequence are primarily due to antibiotic resistant bacteria. MRSA is by far the most frequent dangerous offender, challenging to treat, yet not difficult to prevent with PROTECHS spray application to “high touch” surfaces in the home. Less frequently-occurring home surface bacterial pollutants include Streptococcus, a causative agent of Strep throat, middle ear infection, pneumonia, and meningitis and Mycoplasma bacteria, a causative agent of pneumonia in school age children and young adults. Viruses contaminating domestic surfaces include Influenza A and B “flu”, the common cold Rhinovirus, hepatitis virus, and Herpes virus, all challenging to treat, yet not difficult to prevent with PROTECHS spray surface application. Fungal surface contamination by athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis) is easily prevented by applying PROTECHS to wet shower floors. 2/3/2021 0 Comments Pandemic Health Management 2021 and Future Containment – What is the future and the approach?Since the Justinian Plague pandemic of 541 AD, located in the Eastern Roman Empire,
much has occurred, not excluding the rise of transportation and importance of travel for commerce and pleasure. With this occurrence, so has the reduction in time it takes for continental and world wide spread of novel infectious diseases into communities absent of immunity. For that reason, pandemics have become more frequent and will continue to occur well after the Covid-19 pandemic has passed. In the meantime, it is important to use all measures available to combat those pandemic processes which remain. Whether Bird or Swine flu, MERs or SARs, Covid-19 found a species without immunity, willing to assist in its spread. By using masks, social distancing, hand-sanitizers and disinfectants, an approach was established on reducing the spread of infectious disease. Each approach however does have their limitations. For example, the N95 mask filters 95% of particles 0.3 microns in size or larger, Covid19 is 0.13 microns and is smaller in size. Covid-19 mostly travels by respiratory droplets, and even if people do wear masks, the particles can still exit out the side; and with some masks, through the material itself. Once landing on a variety of surfaces, it can live and be infectious for 9 days, now positioned for contact spread. Like all microbes, they remain a dangerous and invisible enemy when given the right circumstances. Hand sanitizers and traditional disinfectants remove the microbial footprint as it exists, but once dried, their effectiveness ends until reapplied. Unintentional recontamination of the surface and then to the hand becomes a tool of transmission through eyes, nasal and oral passages.  Safety Shield Tech, a leader in commercial cleaning, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with PRO-Techs, a breakthrough EPA registered instant and lasting antimicrobial surface protection nanotechnology that works 24/7 in creating a barrier shield that has a 99.9% effectiveness in preventing the growth of germs and microorganisms on both porous and non-porous surfaces, with a durability of up to 90-days.
Safety Shield Tech will be deploying the Innovative Protection Shield; a 3-step protection program to pair its existing cleaning and disinfection protocols with PRO-Techs for an active 90-day germ shield. “The main challenge facing US businesses these days is the fact that majority of cleaning practices on surfaces in high traffic common areas are only being disinfected without any residual protection, which means microorganisms can rapidly multiply once they are touched” said Peter DePesa, CEO of Safety Shield Tech. “As more businesses and organizations are searching tirelessly for a solution to bring safety and confidence back to their facilities, we are proud to have partnered with PRO-Techs, a breakthrough antimicrobial surface protection, and are pleased to be able to offer this cutting-edge 90-days germ barrier coating to our customers.” PRO-Techs works by bonding to the surface due to its organo-silane base, and coupled with its positively charged nitrogen at the center and its 18 carbon-chain bed of “nano-swords” at the top, it prevents the growth of microorganisms and germs on any given surface. PRO-Techs Technology is also an environmentally GREEN water-based surface coating that is non-toxic and safe for use around children and pets, and it is registered under the EPA with approval for use on food surface contact; a major differentiation in the marketplace. “We are delighted to partner with Safety Shield Tech as PRO-Techs’ applicator in the New England Area said Danny Tawil, COO of PRO-Techs. “Having witnessed their dedication in creating clean, safe and healthy environments for their commercial customers, we are confident Safety Shield Tech will expand PRO-Techs reach in providing the ultimate surface-level protection to the community.” |
