OUR RESEARCH

As an antiviral research and production house, we have collaborated with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong Wetland Park and Friends of the Earth to conduct a range of field tests and product trials. Our 3D printed products were installed at over 200 locations provided by our partners, where different samples were collected for scientific purposes over our research period.

3DP Antibacterial Performance

STANDARD TEST:
ISO 22196:2011 FOR 3D-PRINTED PLASTIC SAMPLES WITH ANTIVIRUS3D (IMU+©)

Antivirus3D (IMU+©) shows promising antibacterial effects against pathogenic S. aureus and E. coli, which are the representative gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, according to ISO 22196:2011. Even if the surface of the Antivirus3D product has been abraded with sandpaper seriously, wiped with 1:49 bleach solution continuously or treated by both, the instant biocidal and 24-hour biostatic performances can be maintained.

HKWP ANTIVIRUS3D (IMU+®) : ASSESSED THE PRODUCTS APPLIED IN HKWP FOR 5 MONTHS ACCORDING TO ISO 22196:2011

The trial application of Antivirus3D (IMU+®) products in Hong Kong Wetland Park was a successful case. After a 5-month field application, the trial products were collected back to the testing labs for evaluating their antibacterial efficacies at that time. Most of the facilities’ covers still offered remarkable contact-killing and full-day inhibition towards S. aureus and E. coli. It was also possible to improve their antibacterial powers by abrading the surfaces with sandpaper properly to rebuild their antibacterial surfaces.

FIELD TEST - ANTIMICROBIAL DOOR HANDLES FOR POLYU'S CARPARK ENTRANCE

The door of car park entrance in The Hong Kong Polytechnic University was installed Antivirus3D (IMU+®) cover pairs. After 24 weeks of duty, in December 2021, we sampled the surfaces of the covers at three timeslots continually and passed the swab samples to SGS Hong Kong. The test report proven that there were free of bacteria growth, especially for S. aureus and E.coli.
