Passive Virus Killing System - Direct Contact
Refers to the spraying of surfaces by spraying with disinfectant whether it is Short life 18-24 hours or Long Lasting (90 day) disinfectant.
Why? The virus will deposit / attach itself to surfaces.
Depending on the surface material, the virus can remain active from anywhere between hours (see Copper) to days (See Plastic)
How? Spraying the surfaces with disinfectant will Inactivate / kill the virus.
Short Life disinfectants will last for a few hours or until a customer scrapes it off by touch.
The Long-lasting Disinfectant relies on heat-sensitive polymers that respond to contamination from touch or droplets. It does so, by releasing a large amount of disinfectant when there is an increase in temperature caused by hands or any parts of the body touching the sprayed surface.
Note: Electrostatically charging the sprayed particles could increase spray particle adherence to surfaces and prevent them from floating away.
Action? Acquire and spray the space with Long-Lasting disinfectant, at least once every 3 months.
Advantages:
Can cover both top and under surfaces.
Does Not require power to work.
Easy to use.
Small chemical Cost.
Can be used in open court restaurants
Disadvantages:
Long work / Application time
Personnel need masks during application to prevent inhalation.
Needs time for droplets to settle before using room.
Proper application and full coverage of surfaces depends on personnel’s diligence.
High up surfaces normally avoided / forgotten.
Needs Storage for chemicals.
Leaves a minute amount of liquid on surfaces (needs time to dry).
