Self-disinfecting protective film suitable for ads-tec MMT8024

Neoxum anti-viral and antibacterial effective protective films are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

• E.Coli
• Influenza viruses
• Staphylococcus Aureus
• Adenoviruses
• Noroviruses
• human coronaviruses
• Many nosocomial pathogens

Why anti-Covid-19 screen protector when there are disinfectants?

Any disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates the surface. And this is where the anti-viral, or antibacterial, consistently active screen protector from Neoxum comes into play: The active surface coating permanently kills viruses and bacteria and permanently reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are reduced within a period of minutes.

Anti-Virus & Antibacterial effectiveness within a few minutes - 99.9% inactivation

Anti viral effectiveness

In a period of a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are deactivated on the antiviral and antibacterial display film for ads-tec MMT8024. The following summary demonstrates that, for example, 99.9% of corona viruses are destroyed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause the serious influenza disease, are 99.9% destroyed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus protective film. Diarrhea pathogens, such as the norovirus, are 99.9% inactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial effectiveness

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, which cause dangerous urinary tract diseases, cause sepsis and are feared as a cause of hospital 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 pus accumulation, complicated wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of individual organs of the body, for example urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even serious sepsis (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and disinfecting activity within minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 using accredited testing laboratories. Details can be found in the test reports.

Survival time of the coronavirus on various contact surfaces

Statement by the Robert Koch Institute on the importance of disinfecting PC equipment and touch displays

The Robert Koch Institute already explains the relevance of touch screens and computers in infection prevention in its statement of April 5, 2019:

Current findings from research by the CSIRO (Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial Research)

The following graphic shows, according to 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 corona virus can survive for a longer period of time on various surfaces and remains contagious.

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 effect of the Neoxum AntiVir screen protector

The surface of the robust screen protector suitable for ads-tec MMT8024 is equipped with a new, patented virus-killing and bacteria-killing surface layer. It completely avoids the use of chemicals that could cause allergies. Instead, the focus is on the antiviral and antibacterial effects of copper, which have been recognized since ancient times.

Antiseptic and anti-bacterial activity of copper

Copper ions, immobilized in the extremely stable coating, react with the constantly present oxygen in the air and produce active oxygen species.

If germs such as bacteria or viruses (Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Noroviruses, Adenoviruses, SARS-CoV-2 virus, many nosocomial pathogens or influenza viruses) come into direct contact with the active anti-virus and antibacterial layer of the screen protector for ads-tec MMT8024, a so-called redox reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the air react with the copper ions, included in the antiviral and antibacterial layer, and develop quite bactericidal active intermediate molecules that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely effectively. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is also accessible and deactivated immediately. Many nosocomial pathogens, Escherichia coli bacteria, noroviruses, SARS-CoV-2, influenza viruses, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and adenoviruses are effectively killed and are no longer infectious.

Continuous disinfection of the ads-tec MMT8024 display

In the course of the virus-killing reaction, the active copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II. However, the active copper ions are never used up, but are available again for continuous surface disinfection. In this context, surface self-disinfection has an active bactericidal effect for up to 12 months.

How are pathogens transmitted?

Viruses and bacteria transmitted from person to person

If a person infected with the influenza virus sneezes into their hand, the transmissible pathogens stick to the palms of their hands. The infectious pathogens can then be transmitted from person to person, for example when shaking hands. If this person then puts their hand to their mouth, nose or eyes, they can become infected with the pathogen via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of coronaviruses via contact surfaces

Pathogens even stick to industrial panel displays. It is not only care facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes and retirement homes that are faced with the increased risk of influenza infection. Pathogens can also persist on monitors of portable payment systems, cash register systems, TV sets, coffee machines, card systems, cell phones and tablet PCs.

Germs are almost always found on our hands and palms. We inevitably touch our faces with our fingers several times a day. In this way, bacteria & viruses inadvertently migrate from the contaminated surface of the ads-tec MMT8024 via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as corona viruses can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum anti-viral and anti-bacterial protective films are also active against numerous other pathogens
