Andrew Mazzone, president of Structural Enhancement Technologies Corp., stated, "Current attempts at maintaining sanitary conditions can only go so far. Extreme Protect will be a game-changer in the battle against potentially lethal infection-causing microbes. The coating will be of profound benefit to fast food services, hospitals, hotels, etc."

Effective against some of the most dangerous pathogens such as multiply resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and e-coli, Extreme Protect will be a boon to hospitals and health-care facilities, which have in recent years been plagued by the spread of infections. More than 15,000 people die annually as a result of contracting these infections while in health-care facilities. The cost of treating the more than 500,000 patients who are affected annually exceeds $600 million.

Extreme Protect continuously oxidizes pathogens while simultaneously protecting the substrate again corrosion, eliminating odors, and reducing VOCs in the air. The coating, which contains small particles of the same minerals used in the safest sunscreens, electrostatically traps and then deactivates the proteins essential to viruses and bacteria. It is activated by natural light as well as incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, and LED lighting. Safe and ecologically friendly, the durable transparent coating is applied on site and can be used on new or existing surfaces and textiles, including upholstery.
