Daiyanium Co., Ltd. offers antiviral coating as part of its measures against COVID-19. Antiviral coating is a method that reduces the risk of contact infection by "antiviralizing" surfaces that people touch. Currently, there has been a sharp increase in inquiries from educational institutions, particularly concerning young people who are notably affected by COVID-related depression. Daiyanium Co., Ltd. is a company dedicated to "protecting loved ones" through its antiviral coating solutions. The antiviral coating works by spraying or coating surfaces with a specialized liquid to reduce the risk of infection from objects to people, thus serving as one of the measures against COVID-19. Daiyanium Co., Ltd. believes that the risk of viral infection is largely due to droplet transmission; however, it also considers it beneficial to reduce the risk of contact infection in places such as welfare facilities where elderly individuals, who are more susceptible to severe illness, gather, as well as dialysis hospitals where diabetic patients congregate, and in kindergartens and daycare centers where children's behavior cannot be controlled.

Aichi Prefecture-based contact catalyst venture "Dianium Co., Ltd." has recently implemented antibacterial and antiviral environmental measures at a local nursery (Miwa Multi Nursery: Aisai City, Aichi Prefecture) to prevent contact infections from bacteria and viruses among the children. Due to the global spread of COVID-19, there is a growing need to be cautious of "droplet transmission" and "contact transmission" routes and to minimize them as much as possible in the new lifestyle after the pandemic. Protecting the health of many children is believed to indirectly safeguard the health of their parents, who are directly linked to economic activities, as well as the health of the elderly in that parent generation. The director of the nursery, Yoshifumi Miwada, stated in an interview: "It is important for us, as a facility that cares for precious children, to make efforts to minimize the risk of contact infections from known viruses and bacteria, as well as various pathogens that may emerge in the future, not only SARS-CoV-2 (the novel coronavirus). After such a global tragedy, there is no option to take no measures; we must prepare for what comes next, which is why we decided to implement the construction by Dianium."

Daiyanium Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of nano-diamond catalysts with the mission of protecting loved ones from viruses, bacteria, and harmful substances. This catalyst has antiviral, antibacterial, deodorizing, mold prevention, VOCs reduction, and oxidation suppression functions, helping to reduce the risk of contact infection from epidemic viruses that adhere to surfaces. Recently, at the Department of Microbial Infection Control at Nara Medical University, we confirmed for the first time in the world the inactivation effect of nano-diamond catalysts on the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Using a testing method based on ISO 21702 (measurement of antiviral activity on plastic and non-porous surfaces), a reduction rate of over 96% was verified after 2 hours, over 98% after 4 hours, and over 99% after 8 hours, indicating its potential effectiveness in reducing the risk of contact infection from the novel coronavirus on surfaces.

Daiyanium Co., Ltd., a regular member of the SIAA (Society of Antibacterial Products Technology), has had its nano-diamond catalyst product (Daiyanium) adopted by Japan's largest bus body manufacturing company. Daiyanium, which has been adopted by J-Bus Co., Ltd., the largest bus body manufacturer, as a coating agent for the interior of buses, is a registered product that meets the SIAA antiviral and antibacterial standards, having passed rigorous safety and efficacy tests. Furthermore, this product has been verified through joint research with Nara Medical University to reduce specific viruses adhered to non-porous surfaces coated with Daiyanium by over 99%. Buses, which support people's mobility, carry a large number of unspecified individuals. The day when safe buses, coated with antiviral and antibacterial properties at the time of factory shipment, will run on Japan's roads is approaching. This initiative to introduce antiviral and antibacterial catalysts in bus body manufacturing is the first of its kind in Japan. 【Construction Information】 Daiyanium will be applied primarily to areas frequently touched by passengers (such as passenger seats, side windows, inner waist panels, handrails, hanging straps, exit push buttons, air conditioning vents, etc.). Other areas can also be addressed upon request.

Daiyanium Co., Ltd. has collaborated with the long-established real estate company Chiyoda Real Estate Co., Ltd. On June 13, 2020, they began selling "antibacterial and antiviral" homes featuring the SIAA registered product "Daiyanium Coat PRO" series. In an interview, Chiyoda Real Estate's President, Toshikazu Kondo, stated, "When considering housing, the minimum condition is to protect the family from wind, rain, and natural disasters. Within that, it is ideal for a place to foster family comfort and togetherness, create memories, and be a place of solace that one wants to return to. Sometimes, we have prioritized reliable design, construction, safe ground, and a higher quality living environment over profit. With the global spread of the new coronavirus, I feel that not only our company but the real estate and construction industries need to undergo significant transformation. While signs of the new coronavirus subsiding are appearing, nothing is more terrifying than the thought that a 'home' is not a safe place against the second wave and unknown bacteria and viruses. It is essential for a residence to be a place that protects the family from bacteria, viruses, and harmful substances, and I believe this will become a new 'status' for housing in the coming era."
