Symphony Environmental Technologies PLC (LON:SYM) said its antimicrobial technology has been tested as effective against bovine coronavirus (COVID-19).
Its d2p product has been designed to be embedded in the plastic so it will not wear off.
A masterbatch was assessed by the lab group Eurofins, which detected a virus reduction of 99.84% in 24 hours.
Symphony said bovine coronavirus “is a close beta coronavirus surrogate for COVID-19”.
In a statement, Symphony chief executive Michael Laurier said: "This is a very exciting and positive development for our global sales team to bring to the market as quickly as possible and we look forward to receiving Eurofins final report in due course.
“In the challenging times that we live in today, we believe that a wide range of products from plastic packaging to personal protective equipment, made with our d2p masterbatch technology will provide an extra level of protection against many different types of bacteria and fungi, and now bovine coronavirus.”
The full official Eurofins report is due after completion of quality control checks.
