New Delhi [India], March 2 (ANI/NewsVoir): With the COVID-19 pandemic largely imminent, with India reporting up to 11,000 new cases a day, demand for microbe-killing objects and materials is surging .A Delhi-based startup called Nanosafe Solutions has come up with a copper-based technology that can kill all types of microorganisms, including SARS-CoV-2.The technology called AqCure (Cu is short for elemental copper) is based on nanotechnology and reactive copper.Depending on the type of material, Nanosafe Solutions supplies reactive copper products to a variety of polymer and textile manufacturers, as well as cosmetic, paint and packaging companies.Actipart Cu and Actisol Cu are their flagship products, respectively, in powder and liquid form for use in formulating paints and cosmetics.In addition to this, Nanosafe Solutions has the AqCure range of masterbatches for various plastics and Q-Pad Tex for converting fabrics into antimicrobials.Overall, their comprehensive copper-based products can be used in a variety of everyday materials.
Dr Anasuya Roy, CEO of Nanosafe Solutions, said: “To date, 80% of India’s antimicrobial products are imported from developed countries. As enthusiastic promoters of home-grown technology, we want to change this. In addition, we want to prevent the use of antibacterial products from Silver-based antimicrobial compounds imported from these countries because silver is a very toxic element. On the other hand, copper is an essential micronutrient and has no toxicity issues.” India has many bright young researchers and has developed Many cutting-edge technologies in institutes and research laboratories.But there is no systematic way to bring these technologies to a commercial market where industry can adopt them.Nanosafe Solutions aims to bridge the gap and achieve a vision aligned with “Atma Nirbhar Bharat”.The NSafe Mask, a 50-time reusable anti-viral mask and Rubsafe Sanitizer, a zero-alcohol 24-hour protective sanitizer, are products that Nanosafe has launched during the lockdown.With such innovative technology products in its portfolio, Nanosafe Solutions is also looking to raise its next round of investment so that AqCure technology can reach millions more quickly.This story was provided by NewsVoir.ANI is not responsible in any way for the content of this article.(ANI/Newswire)
