COVID-19 cases reappear in many parts of the country — it’s necessary to learn about antiviral coatings.

With the outbreak of the COVID‑19 pandemic, public places for people’s daily life, work, travel and social contact — especially crowded venues such as airports, stations, hospitals, schools, supermarkets and hotels where bacteria and various viruses easily breed and accumulate — have become the focus of epidemic prevention and control for departments and institutions at all levels.

Unsurprisingly, the epidemic has driven demand across regions, industries and markets for “antibacterial and antiviral coatings”.

Antibacterial and antiviral coatings enjoy broad prospects and have become a key R&D focus for coating enterprises. At present, many coating companies have launched related products, which are well received by consumers. This fully shows that antibacterial and antiviral coatings have been largely recognized by the coating industry and the general public.

I. Why develop antiviral coatings?

Studies show that 80% of common infections (such as colds, influenza, diarrhea, etc.) are actually transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces. When touching an object surface, hands can pick up as much as 50% of the microorganisms on it. People may then be infected by these microorganisms after touching their mouth, eyes or nose.

With the continuous improvement of consumers’ living standards, the demand for antiviral products is increasingly urgent. As the outer layer of almost all consumer end products, coatings are in close daily contact with consumers. Therefore, coatings and coating products with antiviral functions are of great significance for improving people’s quality of life and reducing infection risks.

II. What are antiviral coatings?

In accordance with the two group standards Antibacterial and Antiviral Coatings and Test Methods for Antiviral Performance of Coatings (Paint Films) issued by China Coatings Industry Association, antibacterial and antiviral coatings refer to coatings with antibacterial and antiviral functions.

During this period, Runli New Materials jointly developed the All‑round Antiviral Ecological Waterborne Paint with Guangdong Institute of Microbiology. This antiviral coating can effectively inactivate coronavirus (HCoV‑229E), with an antiviral activity rate of over 90%. The coating industry conducted tests using Runli All‑round Antiviral Ecological Waterborne Paint and subsequently formulated industry standards for antiviral coatings.

Choose Guangdong Runli New Materials for antiviral waterborne paint.

The All‑round Antiviral Ecological Waterborne Paint was jointly developed with Guangdong Dimei Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Guangdong Institute of Microbiology). It not only features all‑round high‑standard functions such as scrub resistance, mildew resistance and alkali resistance, but also provides long‑term antibacterial and antiviral effects, creating a high‑quality, safe and clean indoor environment for consumers.

After years of effort, Runli has received wide recognition and has been awarded numerous honors, including:

Top 10 Fast‑Growing Coatings BrandsScientific Research and Innovation AwardChina Top 500 Quality EnterprisesEnterprise Abiding by Contracts for Eight Consecutive YearsExecutive Director Unit of China Architectural Coatings Circulation AssociationChina Environmental Labeling Product Certification

At the 2020 China Coatings Finance Summit, Runli’s antiviral waterborne paint won the Home Building Materials Popularity Award. The company also participated in formulating the standard for antiviral waterborne paint hosted by China Coatings Industry Association.

These are not only recognition of Runli from the industry and society, but also a driving force for further progress.
