“We are thrilled to announce EPA approval and fortunate to be working with Nestlé. In our new environment, it’s key to understand Nanoshield’s efficacy in protecting against viruses, resulting in safer environments.” – Koytt Nichols, President, Keywest Technology, Inc.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved Nanoshield (EPA number 84542-9), a self-disinfecting, antimicrobial transparent film. Nanoshield uses a patented form of copper to continuously keep high-touch surfaces free of viruses and bacteria, which reduces the transmission of infectious diseases, like COVID-19, via common surfaces.

EPA approval comes after Nestlé Professional announced deploying Nanoshield screen protectors on its out-of-home coffee machines. As public health orders for the COVID-19 pandemic expire in the US, facilities everywhere will look for proven solutions to keep patients, students, customers and employees protected from a spike in coronavirus cases or other common viruses. Nanoshield’s continuous activity defends against viruses and bacteria to provide a practical and cost-saving solution between scheduled cleanings. Nanoshield is available in rolls or tape, and the film can be sized and customized for a variety of applications.

In tests conducted in labs around the world, Nanoshield killed viruses ranging from those that cause the common cold to staph infections in hospitals.
