WWE Sprayed Entire Performance Center with Virus-Killing Chemical
WWE is taking extreme measures to protect their workers from potential COVID-19 infection. Well, not so extreme as letting them stay home in quarantine instead of making them come to Florida every two weeks to film wrestling shows, but about as extreme as you can get without that. According to WWE executive Triple H on WWE's earnings conference call with investors Thursday, the company has coated everything in its facilities with a virus-fighting chemical spray that prevents bacteria, viruses, and fungus for months at a time. And no, it's not Stone Cold Steve Austin's beer, though we like to imagine it was applied the same way.
WWE Takes Virus Prevention to the Extreme
The company providing the chemical to WWE is called Allied Bioscience, and website Wrestling Inc. looked through their website to find the product Haitch was talking about. Called SurfaceWise, the chemical creates an "invisible barrier" which Triple H characteristically likened to a "sword" that punctures the virus's cell walls, rendering it inert. Here's the product description:
SurfaceWise™ is an EPA-registered surface coating (EPA Reg. Number: 92082-1) that provides an invisible barrier to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi (mold and mildew) and algae which cause odor, staining and discoloration. This revolutionary coating has been demonstrated to provide continuous protection, when used as directed, on a variety of treated surfaces, including plastic, stainless steel, mattresses, rubber, dry wall, painted surfaces, and textiles.
How this Long-lasting Surface Coating Works
The odorless and invisible coatings, while non-toxic to humans and non-aquatic pets, bond to the surface and create a hostile environment that disrupts the cell membranes and prevents these organisms from attaching and thriving on treated surfaces.
According to Triple H, the chemical has been used to coat everything in WWE's Performance Center, where matches are filmed, as well as warehouses and production trucks, and hopefully, Jerry "The King" Lawler.
