VITEX WITH VAIRO

Antiviral eggshell wall paint based on VAIRO Healthcare Technology

Product Certification

Description

VITEX with VAIRO is an eggshell antiviral – antibacterial emulsion wall paint for interior use. Due to its innovative technology, the dry paint ﬁ lm has defense against virus transmission and inhibits the bacteria growth as well on it. VAIRO Healthcare technology is based on composites where properly encapsulated silver ions into inorganic matrices and other booster components drive to controlled release not only in wet but in dry conditions as well. Additionally, it unfolds a slippery properly modiﬁed hydrophilic coating surface which proves inhospitable for virus and bacteria and boosts further on the antiviral-antibacterial activity. The antiviral and antibacterial activity tested according to ISO 21702, ISO 22196, and OECD guidance for efﬁcacy of biocide treated article (ENV-JM-MONO (2018)20) with microbial reduction by 99 – 99,99%. Walls painted with VITEX with VAIRO offer defense against Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Vancomycin resistant Enterococcus, E.Coli, St.Aureus, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Enterococcus Hirae, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, inﬂ uenza virus H1N1, Human Corona virus OC43, Human Corona virus 229E, Human Corona virus SARS-CoV2, virus phi6, virus MS2 which are used as surrogates for many enveloped and non enveloped viruses, in several conditions. Moreover, designed with surface protection technology the paint ﬁlm has resistance to the absorption of common household stains making easier to remove them even after a long period of time (CRGI Report No M2020353-3). Near zero VOC content. It is certiﬁed with Indoor Air Comfort GOLD, the world’s most rigorous indoor emission rating system. It has been tested for its antifungal properties in the paint ﬁ lm, according to EN 15457.

PREPARATION - APPLICATION

PREPARATION

Surfaces should be smooth, clean and dry, free from grease, dust, loose or ﬂ aking paint. Vitex with VAIRO is directly applied on already painted surfaces as long as the old paint is sound.
To ﬁ ll any cracks or holes use Acrylic Putty or Visto or Light Acrylic Putty (recommended).
Old surfaces previously covered with water paints or distempers (lime wash or ceiling white) should be primed with Acrylan Unco Eco.
New surfaces made of plaster, concrete, cement, plasterboard, etc. should be ﬁrst primed with Acrylan Unco Eco.
Surfaces stained from smoke, grafﬁty, coffee or any other kind of stain should ﬁrst be primed with Blanco Eco.
For maximum opacity in dark and intense (such as blue, red and yellow) ﬁ nal shades, it is recommended to apply one coat of PreColor Primer colored - depending on the ﬁnal shade - through Vitex Coloring System.
