E. faecalis can cause life-threatening
infections in humans, especially in
the nosocomial(hospital)
environment, where the naturally high
levels of antibiotic resistance found
in E. faecalis contribute to its
pathogenicity.[1] E. faecalis has been
frequently found in root canal-treated
teeth.

MRSA is a serious hospital acquired infection, which is a form of
the Staphylococcus bacterium resistant to the commonly used
antibiotic methicillin. http://www.direct-healthcare.com/mrsa.htm
FN Coatings are an excellent
prevention of MRSA.
No release of chemicals into
the environment!!!
Proportionally, 50% reduction of MRSA in
the USA means:
 Saving life to 12,500 people
 Saving post operation problems to
250,000 people
 Reduction of economical losses ~ $ 4bn
Hospital Acquired Infections cost
the NHS around £1bn per
annum, affect some 100,000
patients a year and is
responsible for the deaths of
around 5,000 patients annually
in the UK.
……. alarming rate with some
hospitals reporting secondary
infection rates as high as 20%.
FN® COATINGS – NO CHEMISTRY INVOLVED
 FN® COATINGS ARE EXTREMELY EFFICIENT IN “BURNING”
MICROORGANISMS ON THEIR HIGHLY OXIDATIVE SURFACE
 THE PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTION IS AS STRONG AS USING POISONOUS
CHEMICALS, WHILE IT IS PROVIDED SOLELY BY THE TiO2 PHYSICAL
EFFECT OF PHOTOCATALYSIS, WHITH NO CHEMISTRY INVOLVED
 TiO2 IS COMPLETELY INERT, SAFE AND UNREGULATED COMPOUND
 WALLS AND CEILING PAINTED BY FN® COATINGS ARE A GREAT
MICROBIAL PREVENTION AND A WAY, HOW TO CREATE CLEAN AND
SANITARY ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT ANY CHEMICALS INVOLVED
 FN® COATINGS ARE INERT AND PERFECTLY COMPACTIBLE WITH ALL
CHEMICALS AND DISINFECTING AGENTS.
