Capture Coating in different sizes
Water beading on air filter coated with Capture Coating
The Facilities/Construction Management Preventive Maintenance team is implementing a new nanotech coating, called Capture Coating, developed at the University of Houston by Seamus Curran, professor of physics.
This coating will improve the ability of air filters to trap the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 illness. It was developed at UH's Technology Bridge by Curran Biotech.
Facilities/Construction Management is working to install this new technology in all buildings that have less than MERV-13 rated filters in time for the Fall 2021 academic semester. The MERV rating system reflects a filter’s ability to capture particles of varying sizes.
