Summary
Key Points: 
  • The funded project will continue development of HaloFilm , a novel antimicrobial coating that has proven efficacy against viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened concerns about dangerous pathogens and the limitations of current disinfecting products.
  • HaloFilm, a spray-on chlorine extender, prolongs the useful life of chlorine-based disinfectants with a thin, transparent antimicrobial coating on surfaces.
  • This project will optimize the product formulation and will further advance the manufacturing scale-up to ensure large volume, cost-effective production capabilities for the product.


Halomine™ Inc., a pioneer in advanced technology for managing surfaces and providing long term protection against viruses, bacteria, and fungi, today announced that it has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant for $1M to advance their flagship product that can provide residual antimicrobial protection against a wide variety of dangerous pathogens. The funded project will continue development of HaloFilm™, a novel antimicrobial coating that has proven efficacy against viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened concerns about dangerous pathogens and the limitations of current disinfecting products. HaloFilm, a spray-on chlorine extender, prolongs the useful life of chlorine-based disinfectants with a thin, transparent antimicrobial coating on surfaces. This project will optimize the product formulation and will further advance the manufacturing scale-up to ensure large volume, cost-effective production capabilities for the product.

Ted Eveleth, Halomine’s CEO, stated, “We are pleased and grateful to NSF for its award and its consistent recognition of the extraordinary potential that HaloFilm has to provide antimicrobial protection to hospitals, public facilities and consumer households. This grant will allow Halomine to continue this important research at a time when the world fights the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.”
