Mr. Jaturapat Tangkaravakun, Chief Executive Officer of TOA Paint (Thailand) Public Company Limited, or TOA, a leader in building paint innovation and comprehensive surface protection products in Thailand and the ASEAN region, stated that TOA recognizes the importance of good hygiene, which can start at our own homes. Therefore, TOA has successfully developed a new standard of interior paint that protects you from coronavirus, becoming the first in Thailand to do so. This is achieved through the use of Silver Nano Technology particles found in TOA's interior paints, such as SuperShield Duraclean A Plus, SuperShield Duraclean, and TOA Shield-1 Nano. The mechanism of action involves a significant amount of silver ions that effectively trap, inhibit, and eliminate coronavirus efficiently and quickly.

According to tests conducted with Porcine Coronavirus (Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus; PEDV) by the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, which involved testing a virus from the same family as SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19, on sample film coated with TOA's interior paint products infused with Silver Nano Technology at normal room temperature to simulate indoor walls, it was found that the sample film coated with Silver Nano Technology could effectively and quickly inhibit and destroy the coronavirus that came into contact with the paint film, resulting in a 99.9% reduction of the virus.

Additionally, TOA's interior paints possess other special properties that have been certified by various institutions as safe for health and environmentally friendly, being free from odor and toxic volatile substances (Nearly zero VOCs) according to green label certification standards in both Thailand and Singapore. They are also self-cleaning (Self-cleaning Technology) and feature Air Detoxify technology that helps eliminate carcinogens (formaldehyde) from indoor air 24 hours a day, inhibiting bacteria and fungi by up to 99.99% with technology from Microban, U.S.A. These paints have also been certified under green building standards (Green Building) in both Thailand (TREES) and the United States (LEED), and are the preferred choice for leading real estate projects.

Supalai Public Company Limited, a leader in real estate development committed to creating housing solutions that meet the needs of the New Normal lifestyle, aims to enhance customer confidence by partnering with leading business ally TOA to use TOA's interior paints, an innovation that protects against coronavirus.

Ms. Thanyarat Panyarat, Assistant Managing Director of Marketing and Sales at Supalai Public Company Limited, stated that in a situation where the public remains concerned about the COVID-19 outbreak, especially the rapidly spreading Omicron variant, the company has developed housing by continuously creating and incorporating new innovations into its products to align with the changing lifestyles of people, with the concept of “Built for Real Life… homes designed for real life.” This ensures that the “home” remains a center of happiness and a safe place for all family members.

Mr. Chaiyajak Watanyu, Senior Director of Creative and Product Development, further added that in an era where everyone must be cautious and prioritize hygiene, the company recognizes the importance of this and has chosen to use TOA SuperShield Duraclean and TOA Shield-1 Nano, innovations that can protect against coronavirus by up to 99.9%. They also selected TOA ORGANIC CARE interior paint, which has research backing its health and environmental friendliness from globally recognized institutions. The use of these paints has commenced in the Supalai Icon Sathorn and Supalai Elegance Borommaratchachonnani 121 projects, as well as upcoming projects this year. The company also plans to develop the use of innovative products alongside leading business partners to cater to the tastes and meet the lifestyle needs of consumers now and in the future.
