Validation of Polygiene™ resin performance against SARS-CoV and pathogenic bacteria.

. BEIJING – March 30, 2004 – Polygiene resin has been specially formulated to provide rapid elimination of the SARS coronavirus, the validity of which was clearly demonstrated by the results of tests carried out, late 2003, by China’s Military Academy of Medical Science, Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology. These tests specifically focused on the antiSARS-CoV effectiveness of five different formulations of urea moulding compound at different times of contact. While all of the formulations were found to be relatively active against the virus, the final Polygiene formulation was based on the (designated S2) formulation, which exhibited the fastest and most impressive attack on the SARS coronavirus. Testing on the Polygiene compound showed significant statistical activity at 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours, especially when compared with the control material, a thermoplastic resin.
