D3Clean Project
BRinova proposes the development of an ecological, innovative and efficient solution to prevent the spread of SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19). This virus can be blocked through an innovative and pioneering action which combines the action of natural cationic and phytotherapeutics polymers, derived from Mediterranean aromatic plants, with previously proven antimicrobial and antiviral action. The result is a family of products developed with high disinfectant capacity, for application on potentially contaminated surfaces that can constitute a vehicle for the transmission of COVID-19 or other viruses. The products developed strengthen the national production capacity of an innovative, efficient and accessible product, without the need for alcohol in its constitution. These new generation disinfectants, with an unprecedented constitution, efficient and based on plant extracts, will be a radical advance in the ecological and sustainable development of effective solutions to control the current pandemic situation.
Thus, it is concluded that the project presented here contributes to combating the spread of COVID-19 disease.
Participants: BRinova, University of Coimbra and I3S (University of Porto).
