The coating will be sprayed on airport surfaces and furniture at Helsinki Airport, such as check-in counters, machines, departure gates and toilet facilities.<\/p>\n
Finavia has begun using nanotechnology-based coating solution that destroys viruses and bacteria from airport surfaces and furniture at Helsinki Airport (HEL).<\/p>\n
Following successful trials of the technology throughout the summer, Finavia has now adopted the coating, developed by technology company Nanoksi Finland, which will be sprayed on targets such as check-in counters, machines, departure gates and toilet facilities.<\/p>\n
According to the airport, the coating is long-lasting, even though the furniture is wiped several times a day.<\/p>\n
Sami Kiiskinen, Finavias Vice President, Airport Development for Helsinki Airport, says: We are continuously keeping track of new methods and products to ensure a high level of hygiene at the airport. This nanotechnology-based coating, which is sprayed on contact surfaces and furniture, makes it easier to keep surfaces clean. The coating destroys pathogens with the help of light and air.<\/p>\n
In an airport environment, its important that the chosen surface materials are durable, easy to clean and dirt-resistant. Choices related to efficient cleaning are taken into account already at the terminals design stage. This is one reason why the airport has a lot of glass and metal surfaces that are easy to keep clean.<\/p>\n
From the onset of the pandemic, Finavia has introduced a number of enhanced cleaning and disinfection initiatives, such as a security control tray cleaning device with UVC light technology.<\/p>\n
