Quick answer: The VireXbuster product range from DaXem GmbH covers a free Scan app that verifies protection is active, a browser-based predictive hygiene platform called SURFACE SHIELD®, and a full line of coatings, paint and additives that give surfaces 24/7 supplemental protection against viruses, bacteria, fungi, mold and mildew between disinfection cycles.
What Is DaXem GmbH and the VireXbuster Product Range?
DaXem GmbH, headquartered in Eschborn, Hessen, Germany, develops VireXbuster®, a hybrid organic-inorganic antimicrobial coating technology. VireXbuster is BAuA approved, Fraunhofer tested, QualityLabs certified as antimicrobial, and Dermatest certified “Excellent” for dermatological safety. In the United States, this category of product is defined by the EPA as a Supplemental Residual Antimicrobial Product — a product that supplements, but does not replace, routine cleaning and disinfection. That is exactly how the VireXbuster product range works: it is not a disinfectant, it is the protective layer that keeps working after disinfection, around the clock, for months at a time.
Most people meet VireXbuster in one of two ways: through the free app that confirms protection is active, or through the physical coatings, paint and additives applied to a surface. This guide walks through the whole range, starting with the app.
Why Do Surfaces Need Protection Between Cleanings?
Routine cleaning resets a surface — it does not keep it clean. A 2026 study on gym equipment contamination (published in Pathogens) found that sampling time of day was a strong, independent predictor of bacterial load, with contamination odds roughly seven times higher at midday than in the morning, well before the next cleaning cycle. The same pattern shows up on office desks, reception counters, door handles and shared equipment in any building with steady foot traffic: contamination rebuilds continuously in the hours between cleanings, regardless of how thorough the last disinfection was. That gap is precisely what the VireXbuster product range is designed to close.
Start Here: The Free VireXbuster Scan App
Before investing in coatings, additives or paint, it helps to see how customers and facility teams actually confirm protection is working. VireXbuster Scan is a free Android app, developed by DaXem and available on Google Play, that lets anyone instantly check whether a treated surface is still protected — in offices, hotels, gyms, schools, retail spaces or at home. A sideloadable beta build is also offered directly on the site for early testers, built privacy-first: 100% local storage, no data collection.
SURFACE SHIELD®: Predictive Hygiene for Facility Teams
For facility managers who need more than a spot-check, DaXem also runs SURFACE SHIELD®, a browser-based cloud platform (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS) currently in beta. Each treated surface gets a unique QR code linked to a digital hygiene profile. Instead of recoating on a fixed calendar schedule, SURFACE SHIELD® uses AI to forecast when a surface is approaching a contamination threshold and alerts cleaning teams before it becomes a visible risk. It is built for healthcare, schools and childcare, offices, hospitality and retail, and public transit or shared equipment — anywhere routine disinfection alone leaves gaps between cleanings.
The Hybrid Technology Behind the VireXbuster Product Range
Every product in the range is built on the same foundation: a hybrid formulation with a very wide spectrum of activity against viruses, bacteria, fungi, mold and mildew. DaXem does not disclose the underlying chemistry publicly — what matters to customers is verified performance, not formula. In practice, that means:
- Compatible with virtually all hard and soft surfaces, plastics and metals
- Monocomponent application — no primer required
- Dry time of just a few minutes
- One application is usually enough; protection lasts up to 12 months depending on the product and surface exposure
- Manufactured by an industrial partner in Bavaria with established B2B supply chain experience

The Full VireXbuster Product Range Explained
The VireXbuster shop covers far more than a single spray. Depending on whether you are protecting a surface, manufacturing with an additive, painting a room, or equipping a team, there is a specific product built for the job.
Coatings and Sprays
VireXbuster Spray (400ml, 1L and 5L canister, and a 0.2L bottle) is the core antimicrobial coating — sprayable, transparent, and suitable for every hard and soft surface. The 1L and 5L canisters are designed for spray-gun application on larger areas. VireXbuster Spray HVAC is formulated specifically for ventilation and air-handling systems, and VireXbuster Duoguard (Component A+B) is a bicomponent system built to resist alcohol-based disinfectants, for surfaces that get disinfected frequently.
VireXbuster MARINE
Boats and maritime environments present their own hygiene challenge — bilges, fabrics, wood and plastic surfaces exposed to constant moisture. VireXbuster MARINE (1L) is formulated specifically for that use case.
VireXbuster Wall — Antimicrobial Paint
VireXbuster Wall (5L, White) is a waterborne paint for walls and ceilings, giving painted surfaces the same ongoing antimicrobial protection as the coating range. It is designed for walls and ceilings only — not for floors.
VireXbuster 4Bulk and Additive — Built Into the Material
For manufacturers, VireXbuster 4Bulk (0.1kg powder) and the VireXbuster Additive (0.1kg and 1L liquid) are engineered to be mixed directly into plastics and polymers during production — including polymer flooring — so the antimicrobial property becomes part of the material itself, not just a surface treatment.
Apparel and Accessories
The range also covers the people and tools around the application process: the VireXbuster Antimicrobial Lab Coat, the VireXbuster Pen, a Cordless VireXbuster Sprayer for applying the coating, and “Sanitized by VireXbuster” stickers that give customers, staff and visitors visible proof a space has been treated.
Which Product in the VireXbuster Range Fits Your Use Case?
Facility and hospitality teams protecting high-touch surfaces day to day typically start with VireXbuster Spray plus the free Scan app to verify coverage. Manufacturers building antimicrobial properties into plastics or polymer flooring look at 4Bulk or the liquid Additive. Anyone repainting walls or ceilings in an office, school or clinic uses VireXbuster Wall. Boat owners and marine operators use VireXbuster MARINE. Gyms and studios dealing with the contamination patterns described above benefit from Spray on shared equipment plus visible “Sanitized by VireXbuster” stickers. And any facility that wants to move from fixed recoating schedules to predictive maintenance adds SURFACE SHIELD®.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is VireXbuster a disinfectant?
No. VireXbuster is an antimicrobial coating that provides 24/7 supplemental protection between disinfection events — it does not replace routine cleaning and disinfection, it extends protection after it is performed.
Is there a free way to check if a surface is protected?
Yes. The VireXbuster Scan app is free on Google Play and lets you instantly verify whether a treated surface is still under active protection, with a privacy-first sideload beta also available directly from the site.
What is the difference between VireXbuster Scan and SURFACE SHIELD®?
VireXbuster Scan is a free Android app for quick, on-the-spot verification. SURFACE SHIELD® is a browser-based, AI-powered platform in beta for facility teams that predicts when a surface needs recoating and sends alerts before contamination risk rises.
Can VireXbuster products be used on floors?
VireXbuster Wall paint is for walls and ceilings only, not floors. For polymer flooring, the antimicrobial property can be built in during manufacturing using VireXbuster 4Bulk or the VireXbuster Additive.
How long does VireXbuster protection last?
Depending on the product and surface exposure, protection from the coating range lasts up to 12 months per application.
