Antiviral & Antibacterial protective film suitable for ads-tec WMT110

Neoxum anti viral and antibacterial effective screen protectors are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

• Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria
• Corona viruses
• Noroviruses
• Adeno viruses
• Influenza viruses
• Escherichia Coli
• Many nosocomial pathogens

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

Every disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates that surface. And this is exactly where Neoxum's anti-viral or anti-bacterial constantly active screen film comes into play: the effective layer permanently kills pathogens and permanently decimates the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are inactivated within minutes.

Anti-virus effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are destroyed on the anti-viral and anti-bacterial coated display film for ads-tec WMT110. The following figure shows that, for example, 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 viruses have been inactivated after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause serious influenza disease, are 99.9% inactivated after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral film. Diarrhea pathogens such as norovirus are reduced by 99.9% after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial activity

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, which causes dangerous urinary tract diseases, causes sepsis and is feared as a cause of nosocomial infections, are reliably deactivated by 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a sometimes fatal hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or purulent ulcers, wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of selected organs of the body, such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even serious blood poisoning (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and disinfecting effectiveness for minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 by accredited laboratories. Details are available as downloadable test reports.

How long does the corona virus survive on surfaces?

Statement by the Robert Koch Institute on the topic of disinfection of PC hardware and touch displays

The RKI already explains the importance of touch-sensitive screens and computers in the chain of infection in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following Summary According to a brand new study by the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) = Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial research) from October 2020, the COVID-19 virus can survive for a long time on various surfaces and remains virulent.

Anti-COVID-19 reaction of the Neoxum AntiVir display film

Based on the anti-viral and antibacterial effect of copper, which has been known since ancient times, a tested disinfectant coating is created that deactivates pathogens very quickly without the use of chemicals.

Viruses and bacteria are killed using active copper

Copper ions, integrated in the extremely durable surface coating, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and generate active oxygen molecules.

If pathogens, such as bacteria or viruses (Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, influenza viruses, noroviruses, Escherichia Coli bacteria, adenoviruses, coronaviruses or many nosocomial pathogens) in contact with the active antiviral and antibacterial coating of the display film for ads-tec WMT110, a so-called redox reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the Cu ions, integrated into the antiviral and antibacterial coating, and develop extremely bactericidal active intermediate molecules that extremely effectively attack and deactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins. The exposed viral mRNA (RNA), or bacterial RNA, is also exposed and deactivated on the spot. Many nosocomial germs, Corona, adenoviruses, influenza viruses, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, noroviruses and E. coli bacteria are effectively deactivated and are no longer infectious.

Permanent disinfection of the ads-tec WMT110 display

The reactive Cu ions change their so-called oxidation levels between copper I and copper II in the virus-killing reaction. The active copper ions are never exhausted, but are available again for the continuous disinfection of the ads-tec industrial panel surface. The antimicrobial and antiviral coating has a bactericidal effect for up to 12 months and automatically denatures viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfectants.

How are pathogens transmitted?

Infection from person to person

If a sick person sneezes into the palm of their hand, the contagious pathogens stick to the palm of their hand. The active pathogens can be transmitted from person to person, for example when shaking hands. If this person then brings their own hand to their mouth, nose or eyes, they could become infected with the pathogen via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of pathogens via surfaces

Corona viruses can even be found on objects. Not only medical institutions, such as clinics,Nursing homes and retirement homes are exposed to an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Pathogens can also persist on monitors of coffee machines, cash register systems, airline ticket systems, iPads, smartphones, mobile payment systems and TV sets.

Germs are passed on via the hands. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our fingers several times a day. In doing so, viruses and bacteria from the contaminated surface of the ads-tec WMT110 can unintentionally reach the mouth, nose and eyes via our hands. Pathogens such as corona viruses are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum anti-viral and anti-bacterial screen protectors are also suitable against numerous other pathogens
