Speco® protects against Enveloped viruses like COVID-19

Enveloped viruses are viruses that possess an outer coating, or “envelope”, composed of a lipid layer (a fat-like substance that is water-insoluble). Examples of enveloped viruses include the COVID-19 coronavirus, Influenza A, and Herpes. This envelope layer helps the pathogenic virus latch onto and invade new cells.

Coronaviruses are a group of enveloped viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some cases of the common cold, while more lethal varieties include SARS. MERS, and COVID-19, which have killed over 100.000 people globally to date.

When enveloped viruses interact with the Speco® coating, the coating’s antiviral component physically breaks the outer envelope layer through electrocution and puncture, thus incapacitating the viral pathogen. Incapacitated viruses cannot replicate or mutate, which also means that it cannot spread further. This antiviral effect can last on surfaces for up to 6 months.

The Speco® formula then degrades these complex organic matters into simpler matters and finally into gaseous form over time. This prevents the overloading of dead pathogens on treated surfaces. This step is important as an overcrowding of dead pathogens can easily prevent the disinfectant from effectively killing new pathogens.

Using Speco® is akin to having the surface disinfected 24/7 for the next 6 months.

24/7 Protection for up to 6 months from Speco®

Speco® protects offices, public areas, warehouses, vehicles and more from most pathogens. including enveloped viruses, bacteria, fungi and moulds for up to 6 months.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed our way of life. People are anxious for life to get back to normal, but the fact is, they will remain concerned about new disease outbreaks for years to come. Speco® protects work environments so that staff can relax, knowing that the objects and equipment in their workplace are free from most disease-causing pathogens.

Hand sanitisers and disinfectants are not enough. While they all claim to kill 99.99% of pathogens upon contact, they are also often toxic, causing rashes and skin problems, and are effective only in the short term, at best for a few hours before they must be reapplied.

Electrostatic application systems apply solutions to surfaces 360 °
evenly and consistently using an electrostatic force of attraction.

When combined with Speco®, this process causes a deep, strong
coating at the microscopic level.

This ensures optimal cleanliness of surfaces and the well-being of the
occupants after Speco® is applied.
