To the left an untreated surface which collects bacteria, on the right the same surface with reduced bioburden

Without the World of F1 does not stop searching of companies operating in the sector.The Nanoprom, leading company in the field of nanoparticles, Barcelona had presented an innovative protective film(read here), thePolysil, capable of reducing the weight, protect the surfaces of cars preventing dirt to gather and make better scroll through the air, with better aerodynamics. On this basis and with the desire not to close plants, but further research, Gian Luca Falleti, dynamic entrepreneur cheese, He asked a question to its technical, obtaining a surprising answer: since we are talking a lot of coronavirus and on the surfaces the bacteria resist a long time, We can use our products for the presence abbatterne?
BY A FILM STUDIES F1 FIREWALL BACTERIA
The research and development department has intensified his studies and the result is that with appropriately treated Polysil, the bacterial load wasreduced by 85 percent: “We have not defeated the coronavirus -says Falleti - but we have found a way to decrease the bacterial concentration on the surfaces, hoping that it will be a step forward to slow the spread of the virus that remains in contact with various materials“. In the attached study in the picture is known as the behavior between a normal and a treated surface is different.
In the untreatedthe agglomeration is unique, full-bodied and adherent; in that treated you see so many scattered droplets (a way to highlight the different behavior) that can be washed away faster. "We started with the basic principle of Polysil and we changed for other needs. We are waiting for the OK of health facilities because our aim is to provide and cover all the interior of ambulances and we will do it for free. For hospital surfaces, much larger to be treated, we will do it at cost price. We do not want to earn anything, but we are not able to support yourself spending. The others who want to use it on an industrial scale will pay it as a normal product resulting from the research and development of our industry“.
The Nanoprom operates in F1 for years by providing materials to some top teams with lightweight products based on nanoparticles they have gained aerodynamic advantages, weight and heat disposal. The headquarters is in Santanonino Casalgrande, Province of Reggio Emilia, and the company has worked for years even with Leonardo giant, dealing with the varnishing (proving a more dynamic group as compared to the same F.1),aircraft supplied to the group. “Lighten the door paints a huge advantage in the Air -says Falleti - saves weight and that means less fuel for travel, therefore less emissions. With more better aerodynamics, then further advantage and cost savings“.
