NEW TECHNOLOGY TO DETECT VIRAL LEAKAGE

There is much concern between world health organizations and regulatory agencies regarding the leakage of protective barrier materials, such as latex, for the use in condoms, surgical gloves and other polymers for micro filtration membranes.  The concern is due to the fact that disease causing viruses such as the AIDS and the hepatitis B can pass through undetectable small holes present in these materials, thus infecting the user with the virus. 

Now, a new technology has been developed to conclusively test and measure even the smallest holes in thin film materials.  The ViruShield invention uses multiple electron beams in open atmosphere to test and measure the porosity and anomalies of nonconductive materials.  Systems are now available for the on-line, real-time, nondestructive testing and measuring of latex and other types of polymers for holes having a diameter smaller than the size of the smallest virus.

The ConverTec Corporation was founded by the inventors to develop and market this technology.  We are now in a position to offer this technology and trademark to responsible manufacturers under a long term licensing arrangement.
