Kastus® said that it has developed Kastus Glass, a way to eliminate bacteria and provide germ-free protection to touchscreens and personal devices, such as tablets and smartphones — for life. It announced a partnership with Texas-based Touch International, which provides touch screen display manufacturing.

“We are very excited to announce our partnership with Michael Woolstrum and his innovative team at Touch International,” said John Browne, founder and chief executive of Kastus, which is based in Ireland. “We fully share Michael’s desire to change the medical field and revolutionize the touchscreen offer for consumers.”

“Partnering with Kastus to integrate their coating on our products will further enhance our touch display manufacturing capabilities, enabling us to bring more value to our customers and open new windows as we continue to push into the medical touch display market,” said Woolstrum, Touch International’s CEO. “This will be a game-changer for the medical industry, and our team is already identifying new opportunities to utilize the coating technology across all of the high-reliability vertical markets we serve.”
