Product News - Shampoo Detergent Added to Paint Makes Surfaces Self-Sterilizing: "coinage"

Cetavlon: CTAB - Hexadecyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide

"We found that the common shampoo ingredient cetavlon was especially effective, as well as having good dopant properties due to its being a detergent that mixes well with both aqueous and oil-based coatings," says Vermuelen.

'The coating doped with cetavlon, a major detergent component of many shampoos that is completely safe for humans, killed the microbes within seconds of application. Even after 5 months the coating could still self-sterilize within 30 seconds.'
