Antiviral and antibacterial film suitable for 4Logistic MS810 NX MK2

Neoxum antiviral and antibacterial protective films are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

• E. coli bacteria
• Many nosocomial hospital germs
• Adeno viruses
• Noro viruses
• Staphylococcus aureus bacteria
• Covid-19 viruses
• Influenza viruses

Why anti-Covid-19 protective film when there are disinfectants?

Any disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates that surface. And this is where Neoxum's virucidal or antibacterial screen film comes into play: The effective surface coating continuously kills pathogens and constantly reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are killed within minutes.

99.9% of coronaviruses and bacteria are killed within a few minutes

Antiviral activity

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are killed on the antiviral and antibacterial protective film for 4Logistic MS810 NX MK2. The following illustration shows that, for example, 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 viruses were destroyed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza infections, are 99.9% deactivated after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus film. Diarrhea-causing pathogens such as the norovirus are reduced by 99.9% after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial effectiveness

Even bacteria such as Escherichia Coli, also known as coli bacteria, which cause unpleasant urinary tract diseases, are the pathogens of sepsis and are feared as the cause of nosocomial infections, are reliably killed by 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a feared hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or pus accumulation, wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of various organs of the body, such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even extreme blood poisoning (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196

The antiviral and antibacterial effectiveness over a period of minutes was evaluated and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 with the help of accredited laboratories. The exact test results of the laboratory tests can be downloaded in the download area.

Survival time of the corona virus on various surfaces

Statement by the RKI on the importance of disinfecting PC hardware and touch displays

The RKI already explains the importance of touchscreens and computers in the chain of infection in its statement of April 5, 2019:

Top current research results from the CSIRO (Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial research)

The following summary explains after a current evaluation by the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) = Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial research) from October 2020 that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can survive for a long time on various surfaces and remains transmissible.

Anti-COVID-19 effect of the Neoxum AntiVir screen protector

Based on the antiviral and antibacterial influence of copper, which has been known since ancient times, this results in a proven antiseptic surface coating that kills pathogens immediately without the use of disinfectants.

Antiviral and antimicrobial effect of copper

Copper ions, embedded in the extremely stable surface coating, react with the constantly available oxygen from the air and generate active oxygen molecules.

If pathogens, such as bacteria or viruses (influenza viruses, many nosocomial pathogens, SARS-CoV-2 virus, adenoviruses, noroviruses, E.Coli bacteria or Staphylococcus Aureus) in contact with the active antiviral and antimicrobial coating of the screen protector for 4Logistic MS810 NX MK2, a so-called reduction-oxidation reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the copper ions, included in the anti-viral and antimicrobial layer, and develop truly bactericidal active intermediate species that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely efficiently. The unprotected virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is exposed and deactivated on the spot. Many resistant pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, noroviruses, E. coli, influenza viruses, adenoviruses and SARS-CoV-2 are effectively killed and are no longer transmissible.

Continuous disinfection of the 4Logistic MS810 NX MK2 touchscreen

The reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the course of their virucidal effect. The active copper ions do not become inactive, but are again available for the progressive disinfection of the 4Logistic industrial panel surface. The antibacterial and antiviral layer is effective for up to 12 months and automatically kills viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfectants.

How are viruses & bacteria transmitted?

Immediate exchange of pathogens from person to person

If a person infected with the influenza virus sneezes into their hand, the contagious viruses stick to the palm of the hand. If the infected person shakes hands with another person, the viruses can be transmitted. If this person then puts their own hand to their mouth, nose or eyes, they could become infected with the virus or bacteria through the mucous membranes.

Transmission of pathogens via surfaces

Corona viruses even stick to objects. It is not only care institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes and retirement homes that are exposed to the increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Screens of tablets, drinks machines, mobile phones, TV sets, cash registers, mobile payment systems and card systems are also contaminated with viruses and bacteria. Pathogens are passed on via the hands. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our fingers several times a day. This means that pathogens from the contaminated surface of the 4Logistic MS810 NX MK2 reach the mouth, nose and eyes via the hands without us noticing. Pathogens such as corona viruses are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum Anti-Covid-19 and antimicrobial screen films are also active against a number of other pathogens
