Abstract
Purpose This paper aims to fabricate a polymer-based polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating with acrylic resin as a binder that can show antiviral activity against the feline coronavirus (FCov) on the glass substrate. Design/methodology/approach The PEG/acrylic coating systems of different weight percentages were coated on the glass substrates using the spray-coating method and cured at room temperature for 24 h. Findings The coating system containing 20 Wt.% of PEG exhibits the highest antiviral activities as high as 99.9% against FCov compared with other samples. Research limitations/implications Findings will be useful in the development of antiviral coating for PPE fabrics by using the simple synthesis method. Originality/value Application of PEG as an antiviral agent in the antiviral coating system with high antiviral activities about 99.9%.
