As the severe cold winter approaches, the epidemic abroad breaks out again in winter, and the situation is grim.
Recently, the news that "the new strain of the new coronavirus in the UK has gone out of control and the strictest city lockdown order has been implemented" has aroused widespread attention from international public opinion. At the same time, a collective infection occurred in northern Sydney, Australia; a seafood market in Thailand saw a surge of 516 local cases... …As of December 21, a total of more than 77.09 million people have been diagnosed abroad, and there are currently 21.66 million confirmed cases. It is difficult to control the overseas epidemic.
In order to fight the epidemic, various countries have frequently adopted "strange strategies":
A Spanish school distributes fever-detecting masks to detect wear and prevent the spread of the virus;
Many schools in Japan organize students to assemble a special cardboard box, set it up around their desks, and wear transparent masks during class;
In order to reduce the spread of the virus, a shopping mall in Thailand installed foot buttons on the elevators. This foot-operated button is different from traditional buttons. Customers only need to operate it with their feet, and can select the floor or open and close the elevator door without contact.
Automotive companies have launched regulations-grade CN95 high-efficiency composite air-conditioning filters to block viruses, or developed built-in deep ultraviolet anti-virus car air conditioners.
……
With the epidemic raging, various countries have introduced all kinds of "life-saving" miracles. In the ceramic industry, there are also domestic and foreign ceramic companies launching new functional products such as antibacterial and anti-virus ceramic tiles.
Malaysian ceramic company launches anti-coronavirus ceramic tiles
Recently, according to Malaysia's "New Straits Times" report, Yi-Lai Berhad, a Malaysian ceramic tile manufacturer, announced the launch of ceramic tile products that can prevent the new coronavirus.
According to reports, Yilai is a company listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia. The anti-virus tiles launched this time use innovative coating technology to help reduce the risk of the spread of the new coronavirus disease.
Yilai Executive Director Ou Yiwen said that in various tests conducted against the H1N1 influenza A virus, Yilai's anti-virus tiles showed very ideal antiviral activity, meaning that infectious viruses can be effectively eliminated.
At present, Yilai anti-virus ceramic tile samples and test samplesThis product has been sent to Germany for further laboratory testing by HygCen Germany GmbH. The company is an internationally recognized testing laboratory for hygienic and bactericidal activity.
Ou Yiwen predicts that anti-virus tiles will become the next major trend in the real estate field in the next few years. "We expect that the demand for anti-virus tiles in Malaysia will be very large in the next few years." Ou Yiwen believes that anti-virus tiles will be valued by European countries. In addition to residential buildings, they are also suitable for hospitals, pharmacies, gyms, fitness centers, Restaurants and other places.

Dutch ceramic tile factory adopts new technology
Implement virus prevention and control
At the same time, a ceramic tile factory in the Netherlands claimed to have used technology that allows air to flow vertically to achieve virus prevention and control. According to Yahoo Finance, Dutch ceramic tile manufacturer Royal Mosa has applied a new technology in its ceramic tile products to achieve vertical air circulation and effectively prevent the spread of viruses.
According to Norbert Vroege, CEO of Goflow Technology, under traditional ventilation conditions, 99% of the air in a room moves horizontally, which means that if someone is infected with COVID-19, it is very likely that they will be infected through the horizontal movement of air Others. To this end, the company developed a new technology - Goflow technology within 6 months starting in May this year, which will be provided to the world for free.
90% of the Goflow ventilation system is made of wood, while Dutch ceramic tile factory Mosa incorporates Goflow technology into its ceramic tile products. According to reports, outdoor air is blown into the room through this ventilated floor with hundreds of small holes, while indoor air is exhausted through a special perforated ceiling and filtered through an air handling unit. This method allows the indoor air to be refreshed 15 times per hour without internal circulation. The system, which also uses sensors to monitor the quality of the indoor environment, can be installed in one day.
