    [0002] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0004] Today, there is an obvious need to prevent the spread of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, etc. across the contact surfaces. This transmission could be eliminated or reduced if these contact surfaces had disinfectant properties, that is, if after contact with pathogens, the surfaces were disinfected autonomously and prevented contagion in future contact with the surfaces.
    [0006] There are physical disinfection processes, based on the increase in temperature or the use of ultraviolet radiation. However, the most common disinfection process is the use of chemical agents. The use of chemical disinfectants is designed to inactivate or destroy organisms on inert surfaces. Among the different types of disinfectants, oxidants have a broad spectrum range of action at low concentrations.
    [0008] Whatever the principle of action, an essential condition for achieving effective disinfection is a sufficient concentration of an active principle that is maintained over time.
    [0010] A sanitizing coating should meet several requirements:
    [0012] - Resist the daily use of the applied surface
    [0013] - Not be toxic or harmful to human skin
    [0014] - Effectively eliminate pathogens.
    [0016] Solutions already exist for coating surfaces that, for example, react with light and air to produce oxidizing conditions on the surface, which are intended to create permanent properties.
    [0018] Among these permanent solutions, two broad categories can be established: those that have the active principle anchored, which limit their action strictly to the point of contact, and those that release the active disinfectant principle, which reduce the it.
    [0020] For a simple statistical consideration, this claim to guarantee permanent activity has serious drawbacks due to the possibility of some event or damage occurring that negatively modifies the surface.
    [0022] Furthermore, permanent disinfection of a surface is not usually required. For example, in times of health crisis, extraordinary temporary disinfection measures are required that are not required in a normal situation.
    [0024] In this sense, it would be interesting to have a disinfection solution that could be eliminated when not necessary without leaving a trace after its application.
    [0026] Finally, it would be interesting to have a disinfectant solution that would allow the user to easily discern if there is a sufficient minimum concentration of disinfectant agent on the surface, for example, by means of a visual indicator based on color, in such a way that the user would know in advance whether the surface is disinfected or not.
    [0028] This solution to apply on surfaces should:
    [0030] - Resist the daily use of the surface
    [0031] - Not be toxic or affect human skin
    [0032] - Maintain a sufficient concentration of disinfectant active for a certain time
    [0033] - Be easy to remove and not damage the protected surface
    [0034] - Inform the user if the surface is disinfected or not.
    [0036] EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
    [0038] This invention describes a coating for surfaces with disinfectant properties that comprises a base matrix capable of absorbing and dosing a disinfectant active principle.
    [0040] Thus, through periodic loading processes of the active principle sufficient disinfectant active ingredient on the free surface of the coating, that is to say that which can be accessible by the user.
    [0042] The main advantage of this invention is that of being able to maintain a sufficient minimum concentration of the disinfectant active principle based on periodic charges of the active principle itself. The periodic charges produce high transient concentrations of active principle in the coating, which is difficult to achieve with non-refillable solutions. This differential fact translates into more speed of action, since a higher concentration implies more activity, which entails greater protection and safety.
    [0044] A differential fact and an advantage of coatings based on this matrix is the fact that they are created with a transitory vocation for emergency moments or situations. For example, during specific times of epidemic, such as the CoVID-19 pandemic or to reduce the spread of seasonal flu in places of risk such as hospitals, nursing homes and homes for immunosuppressed people. Therefore, this invention is formulated so that it is easy to apply and remove.
    [0046] This formulation maintains the disinfectant properties, but without being harmful or toxic on contact.
    [0048] Likewise, this matrix is designed so that it can be applied on all types of surfaces, this matrix is not aggressive nor does it damage the base surface, be it metal, plastic, or any previous coating or paint. Due to their temporary nature, coatings based on this matrix can be easily removed, for example, by hot water or by peeling.
    [0050] In the same way, this matrix is applicable to surfaces and materials with porosity, such as cellulosic papers or fabrics. In this way, for example, rigid sheets, or rolls of tissue or paper can be generated that can be used as a base and be periodically loaded with disinfecting agent.
    [0052] In short, it is an invention that notably improves safety in times of health emergency but allows us to recover normality after the crisis without leaving a trace.
    [0053] General description
    [0055] This invention describes a self-disinfecting coating (1) for surfaces comprising:
    [0057] - a base matrix (2) comprising
    [0059] or a gel base (10)
    [0061] or a gel fluid (7), and
    [0062] - a charging solution (3) comprising
    [0064] or an active principle (4) disinfectant,
    [0066] Numeration
    [0068] (1) Coating
    [0069] (2) Base matrix
    [0070] (3) Charging solution
    [0071] (4) Active disinfectant ingredient
    [0072] (5) Precursor solution
    [0073] (6) Plasticizing agent
    [0074] (7) Gel fluid
    [0075] (8) Charging solvent
    [0076] (9) Solvent of the precursor solution
    [0077] (10) Gel base
    [0078] (11) Matrix base support
    [0080] Functioning
    [0082] By way of illustrative example, the invention may operate as follows:
    [0084] A self-disinfecting coating (1) is placed on the contact points to be protected in a building, room, transport, etc., such as door and window knobs, elevator buttons, grab bars and handrails, and others.
    [0086] During a certain time, the coating (1), thanks to the disinfectant active principle (4) present on the free surface of the coating, that is to say that which is accessible to the user, the pathogens that settle on it are eliminated.
    [0087] Due to the contacts and time, the surface concentration of the active principle (4) on the coating, that is to say the amount of the active principle (4) present on the free surface of the coating, decreases. If the surface concentration of the active principle (4) in the coating (1) falls below a value, the disinfection function is not performed correctly.
    [0089] When the marked time elapses, for example, at the end of the day, an application of the loading solution (3) is made on the coating (1), in order to increase the surface concentration of the active principle (4) again and thus ensure the required level of surface disinfection.
    [0091] The key and non-obvious point of this invention is the ability to recharge the matrix to maintain a high concentration of active principle on the surface. This distinctive feature of the invention represents an advantage not previously known, since it is precisely this that makes it possible to ensure the presence of the active principle in high and reliable concentrations on the surfaces to be protected.
    [0093] To our knowledge, this is the first description of a coating with disinfectant properties rechargeable with a disinfectant agent that ensures the presence of the disinfectant agent in high and reliable concentrations on the surfaces to be protected.
    [0095] In this text, a coating is understood to be any type of paint, varnish, film, and the like used on a surface to modify its properties.
    [0097] Base matrix (2)
    [0099] The base matrix (2) is a gel-like structure, or a polymer, that exhibits internal mobility, either ionic or molecular.
    [0101] The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) definition of "gel" is a non-fluid polymeric or colloidal network, in this document defined as gel base (10), which is fully expanded by a fluid, in this document defined as gel fluid (7) Thus the base matrix (2) comprises at least one gel base (10) or base polymer or colloid, and a gel fluid (7).
    [0102] When the loading solution (3) is applied to the base matrix (2), the active principle (4) diffuses from the free surface of the coating towards the interior of the base matrix (2) thanks to this internal mobility that allows the base of gel (10), so that the thickness of the coating acts as a reserve of active principle (4) while part of the active principle (4) remains on the free surface of the coating.
    [0104] During its use, the active principle (4) is consumed on the free surface of the coating. When this occurs, the concentration of the active principle (4) in the part of the base matrix (2) close to the free surface of the coating decreases and is therefore lower than the concentration of the active principle in the rest of the base matrix (2 ). At this time, the active principle from the part where there is a higher concentration diffuses towards the part where there is a lower concentration, that is, the active principle (4) diffuses from the interior of the base matrix (2) to the free surface of the coating, so that the concentration of the active principle (4) on the free surface of the coating is kept high, ensuring, as long as there is enough active principle (4) in the base matrix (2), the disinfectant effect.
    [0106] The degree of mobility of the disinfectant active principle (4) within the base matrix (2) is adjustable by adjusting the composition of the coating with the addition of plasticizing agents (6) to the base matrix (2). In general, the more plasticizing agent (6) there is, the more mobility there will be of the active principle (4) within the base matrix (2).
    [0108] The self-disinfecting coating (1) object of the invention can be applied on most surfaces of habitual use, such as metals, plastics, wood, other coatings, etc.
    [0110] Preferably, the self-disinfecting coating (1) object of the invention can be completely removed without leaving a trace, when deemed appropriate, by simple cleaning procedures such as, for example, by applying heat (for example, hot water) or peeling . In order for the coating to be removed by applying heat, for example by applying hot water, the coating must be thermally reversible, such as those based on collagen. For the coating to be peeled off, the coating must have internal cohesion greater than adhesion to the surface, as is the case with most polymer coatings.
    [0111] The base matrix (2) is one of the key aspects of the invention, and it should preferably fulfill a series of functions and characteristics that are defined below:
    [0113] - Absorb active principle (4) on the surface
    [0114] - Retain active ingredient (4) inside
    [0115] - Release active principle (4) on the surface
    [0116] - Have mechanical stability
    [0117] - Have chemical stability in front of the active principle (4)
    [0118] - It must not be toxic
    [0120] Finding a solution that meets these a priori requirements is not obvious to an expert in the field, as it shows that to date no solutions with these characteristics have been found.
    [0122] In this invention, the gel fluid (7) that integrates the base matrix (2) is the one that performs the function of absorbing the active principle (4), which diffuses throughout the base matrix (2), and acts as a reserve of active principle (4) over time. As the active principle (4) is consumed on the surface, the active principle (4) is replaced on the surface due to the high mobility (molecular or ionic depending on the case) provided by the gel fluid (7) .
    [0124] Gel Base (10)
    [0126] Preferably, the base matrix (2) is based on components of natural origin or biocompatible to avoid an intrinsic toxicity of the material, such as polysaccharides, polypeptides or proteins.
    [0128] In an even more preferred embodiment, the base matrix (2) is based on gels of natural origin and is made up of proteins. Due to their affordability, proteins of animal origin are preferred, such as, for example, without limitation, collagen, elastin, albumin.
    [0130] In the most preferred embodiment, the gel base (10) is based on collagen protein. Collagen gels, which can be called gelatin, are a colloid gel that has multiple advantages for this application.
    [0131] temperatures that can vary depending on the formulation, but in general, above 60 ° C it is in a liquid phase in the form of a sol-type colloid, which has a low viscosity, which is advantageous for producing coatings since it allows its convenient spray application. When cooled, however, it generates the colloid in gel form. This phase can be formulated by adjusting the collagen / fluid ratios and the composition of this fluid (solvents, plasticizers, active ingredient, etc.) so that it produces a suitable matrix in terms of hardness, dry final touch, and mechanical resistance. This process is a predominantly thermal process so it does not require long drying, so that the time between application and the final state is shorter than in cases that are based only on the evaporation of the solvent.
    [0133] In a second preferred embodiment, the base of the gel (10) is based on protein albumin. This protein is rich in sulfur, which provides suitable covalent disulfide bridges for the formation of stable gel-like structures, combined with reversible hydrogen bonds, which allows thermal processing. Albumin protein is of natural origin and biodegradable.
    [0135] In a third preferred embodiment, the gel base (10) is based on a polysaccharide of plant origin, such as a carrageenan, preferably agar-agar. These formulations tend to have more viscosity, so their application must be done by brush or roller methods. It allows the creation of coatings with a higher thickness, which implies greater storage capacity of the active principle. In addition, due to its plant origin, this alternative formulation is interesting for those situations in which it is preferred to avoid the use of products of animal origin, for ethical, religious or other reasons. These formulations of natural origin are biodegradable, which is advantageous for their elimination without problems. A preservative agent can be added to improve the shelf life of the precursor solution, for example Acticide MBR 1.
    [0137] In a fourth preferred embodiment, base (10) includes polyvinyl alcohol PVA (CH 2 CHOH) n which is a biocompatible synthetic polymer. This formulation also exhibits thermoreversible properties and forms gels with greater structural integrity. Due to this and its relative lower internal molecular mobility, it is suitable for long-lasting formulations of less use and more refills. In a fifth preferred embodiment, the base (10) includes polymers and copolymers derived from acrylic acid, such as polyacrylic acid; sodium, potassium polyacrylate and the like; polymethylacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate, sodium and potassium polymethacrylate and the like, polyacrylamide, polymethacrylamide among others. These polymers have a high capacity to retain water in their internal structure and can form gel-like structures in the presence of water or other solvents. Furthermore, these polymers show an ability to absorb ionic charge compared to gels derived from proteins due to the presence of highly polar functional groups. For this reason these gels are especially indicated for formulations in which the active principle is an ionic compound or a highly polar compound. In these cases, the ionic compound would have a high compatibility with the matrix and would have a high retention, which would be beneficial in being able to accumulate more quantity and being able to temporarily space the charges.
    [0139] The structural integrity of these synthetic polymers is greater than the integrity of protein derivatives such as collagen or albumin. For these reasons, these polymers are of preferential use in formulations designed for situations that suffer more severe wear or require greater structural strength. For example, this class of polymers can be used in a porous matrix, such as paper or tissue, to form flexible or rigid sheets with self-sanitizing properties.
    [0141] Gel Fluid (7)
    [0143] The base matrix (2) also comprises a gel fluid (7). This fluid is a fundamental part of the gel that by definition the gel not only includes a gel base (10) (polymer or base colloid) but also includes a gel fluid (7).
    [0145] The gel fluid must have the ability to dissolve, retain the active principle (4) and keep it available on the surface.
    [0147] This gel fluid (7) includes at least one solvent. The gel fluid (7) can include more than one solvent. You can also include salts to modify the properties of the array.
    [0149] The gel fluid (7) must remain stable in the matrix structure, Additionally, they must not be toxic or cause health problems. The formulations of this matrix to be applied as a coating must be respectful with the surfaces that among others can be plastics and coatings.
    [0151] Considering these limitations, a preferred solvent to form part of the gel fluid is water. Alternatively, alcohols such as ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, ethylene glycol, or liquid polymers such as polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, among others, can be used as a preferred solvent to form part of the gel fluid.
    [0153] The gel fluid can be a mixture of various solvents, such as water and ethanol.
    [0155] Plasticizers (6)
    [0157] It is possible to control the degree of internal mobility, molecular or ionic, of the base matrix (2) of the coating (1) by incorporating plasticizing agents (6). These plasticizing agents (6) increase the mobility of the active principle (4) in the gel base (10).
    [0159] It is preferable that, in addition, the plasticizers (6) are hygroscopic, in this way the reticular structure permanently ensures a minimum content of water as the structural fluid of the gel. This permanent minimum amount of water in the gel ensures a high mobility and diffusion of the active principle (4). In this way, the diffusion of the active principle (4) during the loading stage is facilitated and the use of the entire thickness of the coating as a reservoir is promoted, as well as increases the availability and release of the active principle (4) on the contact surface. .
    [0161] The effective disinfection time can be adjusted by regulating the initial amount of active principle (4) and the amount of plasticizing agents (6).
    [0163] A preferred plasticizer (6) is glycerin, since it is hygroscopic, does not present toxicity, is miscible in water and compatible with gelatin, in addition to having Some plasticizers that may be used for this purpose include, but are not limited to, glycerin, glycerol, ethylene glycon, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polyethers, phthalate derivatives, adipic derivatives, benzoic acid derivatives, maleic acid derivatives, citric acid, epoxidized vegetable oils, among others.
    [0165] Charging solution (3)
    [0167] The loading solution (3) is a solution whose function is to incorporate the active principle (4) into the base matrix (2).
    [0169] The loading solution (3) is characterized by comprising an active principle (4).
    [0171] Usually, the active principle is dissolved in a loading solvent (8) that facilitates the application of the loading solution. If the active ingredient is liquid, then the loading solvent can be dispensed with.
    [0173] The loading solution (3) is applied on the base matrix (2), a fact that causes the active principle (4) to diffuse into the gel base (10) of the coating. The loading solvent (8) favors the diffusion of the active principle (4) in the gel base (10). During the charging process, part of the charging solvent (8) evaporates.
    [0175] The loading solution is preferably applied by aerosol. This system allows a homogeneous distribution, in addition the high surface area of the aerosol microdroplets favors a rapid evaporation of the solvent.
    [0177] Active ingredient (4)
    [0179] The disinfectant properties of the coating are achieved by an active principle (4).
    [0181] This active principle (4) must be able to attack pathogens. The active principle (4) must be found in a minimum concentration sufficient to produce a disinfecting effect, in accordance with the provisions for each disinfectant agent by the corresponding Organizations, such as WHO.
    [0182] Preferably, the active principle (4) is a non-selective disinfectant.
    [0184] Due to their disinfecting power at low concentrations, oxidizing agents are preferred, such as hydrogen peroxide, organic peroxides, peracids, chlorine and derivative ions such as hypochlorite; bromine and ions derived from bromine; iodine and iodine-derived ions, among others.
    [0186] The active principle (4) can also be metals with disinfectant properties, such as silver, in different forms, such as in the form of salts or in the form of nanoparticles, copper, in copper (I) or copper salts (II), nanoparticles, as well as many others.
    [0188] Halogens and their derivatives are good candidates as disinfectant agents that are in fact already found in many applications that eliminate pathogens, such as in the purification of water and sterilization of surfaces. In this group are chlorine and derivative ions such as hypochlorite; bromine and ions derived from bromine; iodine and ions derived from iodine.
    [0190] Active principles (4) of preferred use are elemental iodine and derivative ions such as iodide and triiodide, either free, in the form of salts, coordinated in polymer or otherwise, for example, elemental iodine, potassium iodide, potassium triiodide, Ammonium iodide, ammonium triiodide among others. Triiodide derivatives can be prepared in situ by mixing elemental iodine with iodide salts. Iodine is an antiseptic agent used in healthcare, disinfection, water purification, etc. It is active either in elemental form or in triiodide form, which is the combined form of elemental iodine with the iodide anion. In this text it is understood that the triiodide anion is a derivative of iodine elementan with iodide.
    [0192] Preferably the active principle (4) is iodine. Iodine has a high solubility in ethanol, but very low in water. A non-obvious aspect of this invention that represents a clear advance is the fact that it is possible to incorporate iodine in a matrix based on collagen and water, with the presence of glycerin, by means of a solution of iodine in ethanol. The iodine and ethanol solution is applied to the gel, the iodine diffuses and the ethanol evaporates, partially or totally. This results in an unobtrusive way to incorporate elemental iodine into an aqueous matrix, in a way not previously described.
    [0193] Iodine has the differential characteristic with respect to other oxidizing active principles that it is volatile. This allows successive loads of iodine to be applied without accumulating residues.
    [0195] An effective molecular mobility of iodine in a gel base (10) has been verified since the concentration inside the gel decreases. Due to the yellow colorations acquired by the charge transfer complexes that iodine forms, it is possible to assess the present concentration of iodine visually. The coloring of these compounds makes it possible to visually control the presence or not of the active principle. This results in arrays with a visual status indicator, either active array (1) or base array (2).
    [0197] In a preferred configuration, the active principle (4) is ammonium iodide. This compound has the advantage over other iodide salts, of forming in situ by means of aerial oxidation, the oxidizing agents iodine or triiodide, observable due to their coloration. When ammonium iodide is applied to the inactive coating (2), it would diffuse into the coating, and only the fraction closest to the surface would be transformed into iodine or triiodide, both disinfectants. This is possible due to the balance that ammonia maintains with ammonia, which in turn is capable of being released as a gas, thus displacing the balance.
    [0199] The active principles (4) based on iodine and derived ions are preferred due to their ocher yellow color. If the base matrix (2) is transparent, thanks to this yellow coloration it is possible to know the degree of disinfection of the coating (1). When the coating has an ocher yellow coloration it indicates that the degree of disinfection is high while when the coating has a non-ocher yellow or even transparent coloration it indicates that the degree of disinfection is low
    [0201] To improve the indication of the degree of disinfection, it is interesting to add a blue dye to the formulation of the base matrix (10). In this case, if the coating (1) has a blue color, it indicates that the degree of disinfection is low. By applying a loading solution (3) containing an active principle (4) with iodine and ions derived from iodine such as triiodide, which is ocher yellow in color, a green coating (1) is obtained. As time and use pass, the concentration of the active principle (4) decreases, the coating turns blue in color, indicating that the degree of disinfection of the coating (1) is low. This indicates the Obvious interest, since it allows to know with a simple glance, if the surface is safe or if a new load is necessary.
    [0203] In case the active principle (4) does not have its own color, extra indicators can be used, such as redox indicators, which indicate the presence of an oxidizing agent.
    [0205] A preferable class of oxidizing agents are peroxides. These compounds that are characterized by having an oxygen-oxygen bond O — O are oxidizing compounds that have a disinfectant potential for widespread use in the medical field. These agents include hydrogen peroxide, organic peroxides, and organic peracids.
    [0207] Charging solvent (8)
    [0209] The loading solvent (8) helps to dissolve the active principle (4) within the base matrix (2).
    [0211] The loading solvent (8) must be compatible with the fluid of the gel (7) of the base matrix (2) and preferably have more volatility than the fluid of the gel (7).
    [0213] The charging solvent (8) can be a single solvent or a mixture of several solvents.
    [0215] As solvents, preferably those solvents that are not toxic or harmful are used. Preferably, the liquid includes ethanol, since it has a high capacity to solubilize active ingredients, it has a volatility that allows drying in short times and also has the advantage that it is not toxic. For formulations that require very fast drying, solvent (7) includes acetone, as it has a high volatility.
    [0217] Precursor solution (5)
    [0219] There are different methods of applying at least the base matrix (2) of the coating.
    [0220] (5). This precursor solution (5) comprises at least the gel base (10) and the gel fluid (7). Depending on the formulation, the precursor solution (5) can include plasticizers to improve the mobility of the active principle.
    [0222] The precursor solution (5) is intended to be transported and marketed in this state, therefore it must be stable over time. For this reason, although it can include the active principle (4), in order to directly form the base matrix (2), this can reduce its life span. Furthermore, many active principles (4) are volatile, so their concentration cannot be assured. Therefore, preferably the precursor solution does not include the active principle.
    [0224] Preferably, the precursor solution (5) includes a solvent for the precursor solution (9), preferably volatile, which reduces the viscosity and improves the applicability of the precursor solution (5).
    [0226] In a preferred formulation, the precursor solution (5) includes collagen protein, glycerin and water. The optimal glycerin / dry collagen mass ratio is between 5/100 and 30/100, preferably the glycerin / dry collagen mass ratio is 15/100.
    [0228] The amount of solvent in the precursor solution (9) present in the precursor solution (5) depends on the method in which it is processed. Two examples of precursor solution processing methods are described below (5)
    [0230] In method A, the gelatin is processed with an excess of liquid solvent to obtain a homogeneous solution. This solution is applied to the surface to be protected. When gelatin crosslinking and solvent evaporation occurs, a uniform coating is obtained. It has the advantage of being easy to carry out at room temperature, although it requires long drying times.
    [0232] In method B, the gelatin is processed at a high temperature, ca. 80 ° C, with the minimum necessary solvent. Applying this hot solution to a cold surface creates a homogeneous coating.
    [0234] Preferably, the processing method of the precursor solution (5) is the method In a preferred embodiment, the precursor solution (5) is a collagen gelatin solution in water to be applied hot. This solution can include an agent that increases the mobility of the active principle in the coating. Preferably, this agent is glycerin. Since it is compatible with gelatin and is not toxic.
    [0236] The precursor solution can contain the active principle (4). In this case, an active coating (1) is produced. This has the advantage of directly forming the active coating that protects the surface.
    [0238] Alternatively, the precursor solution (5) does not contain the active principle (4), thus producing an inactive coating (1). Once the coating (1) is formed, it is loaded by applying the loading solution (3). In this way, coatings are obtained with a greater concentration of active principle on the surface, which results in greater effectiveness.
    [0240] Base substrate (11)
    [0242] A method of applying at least the base matrix (2) of the coating, different from the precursor solution (5), is by means of a base substrate (11).
    [0244] The objective of this preferred embodiment is to generate a self-disinfecting coating (1) in the form of a sheet, rigid or flexible.
    [0246] To achieve this, the base matrix (2) is infused into an absorbent material or base substrate (11) to give said base substrate (11) self-disinfecting properties. The base substrate (11) can be a fabric, a paper, or any porous surface.
    [0248] In this way, a sheet is achieved that can be transported and used in the required place, avoiding the phase of applying the coating.
