UG2 Partners with Allied BioScience to Use SurfaceWise©2 for Protecting Facilities from COVID-19
Becomes One of the Leading U.S. Facility Services Providers to Offer Breakthrough, EPA-Approved Antiviral Coating
September 9, 2020 Boston, MA — UG2 today announced a strategic partnership with Allied BioScience to protect facilities against COVID-19. The facility services provider, renown for using innovative solutions to deliver safe and clean environments, is the first U.S. company of its kind to offer the breakthrough SurfaceWise©2 antiviral coating to safeguard building occupants. UG2 will offer SurfaceWise2 as part of UG2 ReNewSM, a comprehensive program designed to mitigate the risk of infection from COVID-19 and other viruses as people return to work, school, retail, and entertainment facilities.
SurfaceWise2 is the only surface coating approved by the EPA for continuous protection against COVID-19 with a single application. While the EPA testing initially proved its effectiveness for seven days, they are working with the company to design durability protocol to extend the claim for much longer – potentially up to 90 days.
“Being able to offer SurfaceWise2 as an option for our customers reflects the principles UG2 was founded upon,” says Louis Lanzillo, Jr., CEO at UG2. “We have always been focused on going the extra mile to deliver pristine and healthy environments as well as seeking next-generation technologies to make this possible. SurfaceWise2 adds a vital layer of protection, when combined with other key measures needed to properly clean and disinfect facilities. We’re very excited for what is obviously a major win for UG2 customers.”
SurfaceWise2 is not yet widely available. When it is, UG2’s early work in establishing a partnership with Allied BioScience will enable it to quickly offer this groundbreaking solution.
