'Advancements with Ted Danson' to feature Kastus antimicrobial coating technology

August 22, 2019

Kastus' antimicrobial coating technology will be featured on an upcoming episode of "Advancements with Ted Danson," which will explore breakthroughs in touchscreen protection technology and is scheduled to broadcast in the fourth quarter of this year, according to a press release. 

The educational TV series segment will teach viewers how the antimicrobial coating technology is applied during the glass manufacturing process to create touchscreens with 24/7 germ-free protection — for life. 

Kastus' patented technology solution is sprayed onto glass or ceramic surfaces, and sinters into the surface during firing, resulting is an enhanced surface that provides 24-7 antimicrobial protection. "Advancements" will show how the antimicrobial performance is delivered via the company's patented Kastus intelligent surface technology. 

Audiences will see how, once activated, this intelligent technology reacts with moisture in the air to form reactive oxygen species. These agents constantly attack and destroy the harmful bacteria they encounter, leaving a hygienic, germ-free surface, according to the press release.

"Our patented Kastus intelligent surface technology is unique in terms of its antimicrobial performance and range of extended benefits across our range of surface coatings," John Browne, CEO and founder, said in the release.

"Kastus coatings are cost-efficient and simple to integrate into existing manufacturing lines. We believe our 24/7 germ-free coating can offer businesses, service providers and individuals who rely on (touch) screens, a smarter way to help better protect against the spread of infectious germs. We are very excited to be featured on 'Advancements' and have the opportunity to showcase the very relevant lifestyle benefits of our innovative antimicrobial coating technology."
