Everything you need to know about Smart Surface Technology, our process, compliance standards and deployment.

All public sectors including Healthcare, Workplace, Hotels, Leisure, Entertainment, Catering and Public Transport with high traffic of public. The system reduces surface contamination in high-traffic environments, making it ideal anywhere people gather.
Yes. Due to a carrier complex in the formula, the SST coating attaches to any surface — soft furnishings, hard surfaces, metals, plastics, fabrics and porous substrates. Surface versatility is one of the key advantages of organosilane chemistry.
The process is food-safe and water-based. It uses a natural acid formulation with no harmful residues. It has been independently tested and approved for use in sensitive environments including food preparation areas and healthcare settings.
Our process is water-based and made with a natural acid. The surfactants contained comply with the biodegradability criteria laid down in Regulation EC 648/2004. This ensures minimal environmental impact and aligns with NHS Green Plan sustainability priorities.
The applicator is specially designed to the exact micron, ensuring treatment particles don't linger in the air. This ensures respiratory safety and a fast 5–8 minute drying time. Standard fogging leaves airborne particles that pose respiratory risk; our SST process bonds directly to surfaces.
SST bonds to any substrate and reduces contamination adhesion across fabrics, metals, plastics, wood, glass, and porous surfaces. It is suited to any sector where surface hygiene, material durability, and reduced contamination build-up are priorities — from healthcare and hospitality to food service and public transport.
SST has been independently tested and verified by UK-based BluTest Laboratories and assessed against multiple compliance standards including EN 14476:2013 + A2:2019, Modified DIN EN 1040, and Modified DIN EN 1276. EvoTek also holds ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) certification, and NHS supply partner status.
The surfactants contained comply with the biodegradability criteria laid down in Regulation EC 648/2004. This is the European standard for surfactant biodegradability in detergents and cleaning products.
Complies with Modified DIN EN 1040, Modified DIN EN 1276, and EN 14476. Also recognised with international standards ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management). EvoTek holds NHS supply partner status.
Yes. The sealant is bonded to the surface via covalent organosilane chemistry, so further chemical and physical forms of cleaning can be carried out as normal. The SST surface layer is non-leaching and is not removed by standard cleaning protocols.
5–8 minutes. This is significantly faster than standard fogging methods. The specially designed applicator delivers particles at the exact micron, ensuring rapid bonding to surfaces and minimal disruption to operations.
The Smart Surface Technology provides continuous, non-depleting surface protection for up to 336 hours (14 days). Unlike conventional chemical treatments that require frequent reapplication, SST — as a Non-Depleting Technology (NDT) — maintains its protective surface properties between applications while standard cleaning continues as normal.
