(Philadelphia, August 29, 2012) XTI-360 Active-Shield Nanocoating is the most powerful air purification and antigerm solution for the hotel industry to provide a sustainable, self-cleaning environment for guest and meeting rooms, spas, fitness centers, kitchens, restaurants, lounge and lobby areas.

Tests commissioned by Cleancoating LLC, and conducted by Healthy Interior Solutions in a typical hotel room prove the superior power of  XTI-360 Nanocoating, which eradicated mold and bacteria in 3 hours. Tests conducted 3 months after the treatment prove that the room is bacteria and mold free, while there were high counts of bacteria on the surfaces of an untreated room.

“The room smelled like a typical hotel room- stagnant air, not clean or fresh. The atmosphere was completely different after the coating process. The room, draperies and upholstery smelled clean. The difference was remarkable! Weeks later, the room smells clean and the test results confirm that mold and bacteria was removed. I recommended XTIO2 technology highly,” said LaVerne Scheetz, president of Healthy Interior Solutions, Inc.   

Hotel guests complain most often about bad smells (cigarette smoke/mold/chemicals/musty air) and other DIRTY HOTEL problems. A study by the University of Houston shows that television remotes, bedside lamp switches, toilets and bathroom sinks have the highest levels of bacterial contamination in U.S. hotel rooms.

Carpeted rooms retain especially high amounts of microorganisms from all over the world. Microbes from people, their shoes, clothing and luggage settle onto floors, tables and walls, and get stirred up in the air when a person walks in, according to research by Yale University.

Dirty hotel rooms can pose the following health risks to guests:

• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Skin irritation
• Allergies
• Asthma
• Infections (cold/flu/MRSA/E. coli/norovirus)

The hotel industry spends millions of dollars a year trying to mask contaminants and odors with harmful and expensive cleansers, chemicals, artificial scents and black light, with only 10-30 minutes to clean each room.

XTI-360™  delivers better, affordable air quality than expensive air-purifiers and HVAC systems that waste electricity, have limited coverage area, and require filters that don’t trap all infectious particles but disseminate them.

The self-cleaning XTI-360™ nanocoating provides the longest-lasting air purification protection with the world’s highest germ-killing power: 100% (SGS USA/tested on XTIO2- coated fabric). The world-exclusive green technology(zero-VOCs) contains only ultra-pure-water(99%) and TiO2-nanoparticles(1%).

The transparent XTI-360™ nanocoating binds quickly to multiple types of surfaces (walls/ceilings/carpets/curtains/ furniture/air-ducts /air-filters /bathroom tiles/etc.) transforming them into air-purifiers.

The revolutionary XTIO2 Technology:

• Eliminates cigarette smoke, other organic air pollutants and odors from fabrics, carpets, surfaces and air
• Eradicates mold spores
• Destroys dangerous bacteria like E.coli, S. aureus, C. difficile and viruses
• Protects surfaces from dust/dirt
• Decomposes VOCs released in the air (from carpets/furniture/cleaning products/chemicals/ building materials)
• Sustainably energy-free
• 100% GREEN
• ISPBC-certified

To reduce the use of disinfectants and cleansers, save costs and time, ISPBC (International Self-Powered Building Council) recommends XTI-360 nanocoating as a green, affordable and 100% effective sanitation standard to hoteliers who have an obligation to provide their guests with a healthy environment. Improving cleanliness is critical in today’s competitive hospitality market where guests’ first impression is crucial.

(Philadelphia, March 21, 2012) XTI-360™ Active-Shield nanocoating offers the most powerful protection against noroviruses and other highly contagious, hard to kill contact-transmitted germs on cruise ships, long-term care facilities, hospitals, schools, and other semi-closed environments.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned of widespread norovirus outbreaks on cruise lines: 7 norovirus outbreaks have sickened 1,422 passengers and 151 crew members already in 2012. In 2011 there were 14 outbreaks on cruise ships.

Norovirus is highly contagious, causing vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, fever and body aches, being the leading cause of foodborne-disease outbreaks in the United States, killing 300 people annually.

Norovirus spreads through contaminated food or water, by touching contaminated surfaces, and from person to person. Noroviruses can survive for weeks on surfaces, and up to 12 days on fabrics.

A study by North Carolina State University found the virus on surfaces used for food preparation

7 days after contamination.

The world-exclusive XTI-360™ Active-Shield nanocoating destroys cold viruses, deadly E.coli and MRSA bacteria, and other germs like noroviruses on surfaces with the world’s highest germ-killing power of  99.999% proven by SGS tests on coated materials: ceramic, ABS-plastic and fabrics. The binderless XTI-solution contains only ultra-pure water (99%) and titanium-dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (1%). It is SAFE for consumers and the only 100% GREEN product of its kind.

“Contact-transmitted noroviruses are hard to kill. Getting sick in the middle of the ocean can be fatal. XTI-360 nanocoating provides the most powerful sustainable protection,” stated Michael Holbert, President of Cleancoating LLC.

Current vessel sanitation programs are ineffective relying on harsh chemicals like chlorine-based disinfectants, which release toxic fumes and leave behind dead pathogenic bacteria.

Certified by International Self-Powered Building Council (ISPBC), XTI-360 Active-Shield is a green building nanocoating technology, and the best preventive measure against germs and VOCs on interior surfaces – walls/ceilings/carpets/curtains /furniture/air-ducts&filters /tiles /linens to protect the health of consumers.

Phones found to be 400 times dirtier than toilet seats

(Las Vegas, January 12, 2012) XTIO2 Inc. introduced XTI-Mobile nanocoating, the most powerful personal protection against germs on hand-held devices, tablets and laptops, during the 2012 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show).

Typical consumer electronic products like phone, keyboard and mouse have 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat according to a study done by Chuck Gerba, a professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona, and a remote control at home has nearly as much bacteria as a toilet’s flush handle.

Dr. Birgit Winther at the University of Virginia found that cold viruses stay alive on remote controls and telephones for up to 18 hours. “Surfaces are far more important than we ever imagined in the spread of colds,” said Winther. Common cold is the world’s most prevalent illness without cure. It sends Americans to the doctor 100 million times yearly and costs $40 to 60 billion.

The world-exclusive XTI-Mobile Active-Shield nanocoating destroys cold viruses, dangerous E.coli and MRSA bacteria and other germs transmitted via frequently touched devices with the world’s highest germ-killing power of 99.999% proven by SGS tests on coated materials (ceramic, ABS-plastic and fabrics). The binderless XTI-solution includes only ultra-pure water (99.5%) and titanium-dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles making it GREEN and SAFE for consumers.

The resurgence of the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian flu virus that is spreading in Asia and beyond is a serious global health risk along with drug-resistant superbugs like NDM-1, MRSA and CRKP which has a 44% death-rate. Recent outbreaks of the H3N2 influenza virus in the U.S. caused Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to alert healthcare providers of a potential pandemic.

The powerful, transparent and long-lasting XTI-Mobile Active-Shield nanocoating is certified by International Self-Powered Building Council (ISPBC) as the best preventive measure against viruses, dangerous germs and other bacteria on surfaces protecting the health of consumers.
