ISDN Holdings, a company best known for its industrial automation solutions, said it has completed a 3-day pilot project with an unnamed major local bus transport company, gaining traction for its new business line.
ISDN administered its German-made ERSTOTIZER, an anti-microbial surface coating, on all the high-touch points of 130 buses.
These include single-decks, bendies and double-deckers, which were treated over the past three nights to strengthen anti-COVID capabilities in a cost-efficient manner.
They are a fraction of the four-figure fleet-size of the operator.
Pioneered by ERST Project GmbH, ERSTOTIZER is a long-lasting disinfecting surface coating solution that can be applied on hard and absorbent surfaces via a simple spraying and wiping process.
ISDN said the surface coating reduces bacteria by more than 99.9%, thereby ensuring that various types of viruses, bacteria, and microbes have no chance of survival.
More importantly, while the coronavirus can mutate, ERSTOTIZER is non-mutagenic.
This means that it is impossible for the mutating virus to develop any form of resistance to lessen its efficacy in the long-run.
The coating can last between up to 24 months.
"Since entering the Joint Venture in May, we have made good progress in our new business line, supplying these innovative and eco-friendly disinfectant solutions first to the worker dormitories in Singapore and now to public buses."
