Abstract: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is treated with a solution containing a quaternary ammonium compound bonded to a silane. The solution imparts antimicrobial and antiviral qualities to the PPE. The method includes soaking the PPE in the solution and drying the PPE, which imparts a long-lasting coating of the compound to the PPE. The treatment is useful for treating face masks, gloves, gowns, face shields, head coverings, foot coverings, and any other objects that require antiviral treatment.
