Kevin Harrington in Partnership with BioFoam™ to Fight Coronavirus & Pathogens
BioFoam Technology Now Available to Consumers for Cleaning, Sanitizing, & Disinfecting
Houston, TX (October 15, 2020) - Since its inception, US BioSolutions’ BioFoam™ (based on AquaFlex patent-pending Open-Cell foam sponge technology) has been used to combat all kinds of disasters from oil spills to toxic algae blooms.
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, BioFoam™ has partnered with Kevin Harrington (orginal shark of Shark Tank) to bring its first consumer kit directly into homes and small businesses.
Kevin Harrington stated, “When I discovered BioFoam™ and their phenomenal cleaning technology that protects your personal and professional space, like nothing I’ve ever seen, I knew I had to partner with them on a strategic, national media campaign right away, and help get their message and technology to the masses.”
Scott Smith, founding partner of US BioSolutions and inventor of BioFoam™ technology, stated, “Whether it is detecting and/or removing contaminants like oil, chemicals, toxins from harmful algal blooms, and Legionella along with other dangerous pathogens, it is all about maximizing surface area to trap and absorb the contaminants into the BioFoam™ high surface area Open-Cell foam capillary network.
Additionally, as used by the US Military since 2003 and cleared by the FDA, as a backbone and applicator for a medical device which is intended to remove or neutralize chemical warfare agents and T-2 toxin from the skin BioFoam™ is infused with a specialized lotion to neutralize chemicals.
When the Coronavirus impacted the United States along with my daughter, a front-line worker, who was infected with COVID-19, from a contaminated nursing home, I went on an accelerated mission to adapt my technology to help mitigate the risk of human infection from surface transmission of not just COVID-19 but other harmful pathogens. I was shocked to learn that paper towels, cotton rags, and typical sponges deactivate disinfectant and can leave live germs on surfaces. Immediately, I adapted my technology to be infused with EPA-registered disinfectant to kill germs and help prevent surface transmission without deactivating disinfectant – this became BioFoam™.
As the world transitions into a new “normal,” effective and efficient sanitizing will remain a top priority in all homes and small businesses. BioFoam’s “1-2 punch” is the low-maintenance, high-quality path to properly sanitized/disinfected surfaces. First, the high surface are BioFoam™ Mitt sponge helps to trap the pathogens while at the same time being infused with the EPA-registered disinfectant which kills the pathogens, providing more disinfectant power ultimately helping to mitigate the risk of human infection of COVID-19 along with other pathogens from surfaces.
About BioFoam
BioFoam™ and US BioSolutions™ Co-founder Scott Smith, a Harvard Business School graduate, invented the BioFoam™ Open-Cell Foam technology back in 2000 for use by the US Military to help protect soldiers from chemical warfare agents, with a lotion infused open-cell foam sponge that neutralizes the chemical warfare agent and toxins on the skin.
In 2010 the technology was approved, used, and endorsed by BP America in the cleanup and removal of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It has since been used to remove oil and other contaminants from water in over 60 natural disasters globally.
The BioFoam™ Open-Cell Foam technology was validated by CDC ELITE labs in 2018, for water sampling for pathogens and since then has been specified for use and deployed by Municipalities in the State of Florida to help mitigate the effects of harmful algal blooms.
Today BioFoam™ dedicates much of its time, resources and energy to utilizing these very same technologies to help good people across the world to keep safe and healthy from viruses and other harmful pathogens.
