Sekisui Material Solutions Co., Ltd. conducted a virus inactivation test against the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) for its "Ethanol aqueous solution spray containing antiviral processing agents" at an external research institution (Nara Medical University Department of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases and the MBT Consortium). The following effects were confirmed: ■ Confirmed Effects - Under certain conditions, when the ethanol aqueous solution spray containing antiviral processing agents was in contact with the novel coronavirus for one minute, the viral infectivity decreased by over 99%. - Under certain conditions, when the spray was applied to a film, and the film was exposed to the novel coronavirus for five minutes one month after spraying, the viral infectivity also decreased by over 99%. These results indicate that the ethanol aqueous solution spray containing antiviral processing agents and the sprayed film can inactivate the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in a short period. Additionally, the effectiveness observed with the film that was left for one month suggests the potential for long-term inactivation effects. For more details, please refer to the attached materials.
