Anti-Viral & Anti-bacterial protective film suitable for beetronics 8TS4

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

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

Why anti-Covid-19 screen protector when there is disinfection?

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-microbial constantly active protective film comes into play: At all times, the active coating kills pathogens and constantly reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of the pathogens are destroyed within a matter of minutes.

Anti-corona and anti-bacterial effect within a few minutes - 99.9% reduction

Anti-viral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of the pathogens are destroyed on the anti viral and antibacterial coated protective film for beetronics 8TS4. The following illustration clearly shows that, for example, 99.9% of the corona viruses on the surface were killed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause the serious influenza flu, are 99.9% inactivated after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral film. Diarrhea pathogens such as the norovirus are 99.9% inactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial effect

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coliform bacteria, which cause dangerous urinary tract diseases, are the pathogens of sepsis and are feared as the cause of hospital infections, are reliably decimated by 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a multi-resistant hospital germ that sometimes leads to swelling or purulent ulcers, infections of open wounds, especially after operations, inflammation of various 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 anti-bacterial effectiveness for minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 by accredited laboratories. The exact test results of the laboratory tests can be downloaded in the download area.

How long does the corona virus survive on contact surfaces?

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

The Robert Koch Institute already defines the importance of touch displays and computers in the chain of infection 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 illustrates, based on a cutting-edge study by the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) = Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial research) from October 2020, that the COVID-19 virus can survive for a longer period of time on various surfaces and remain infectious.

Effect of the anti-COVID-19 and antibacterial protective film

Based on the antiviral and antibacterial effect of copper, which has been known since ancient times, a proven disinfecting active layer is created that deactivates pathogens very quickly without the use of disinfectants.

Antiviral and antimicrobial effect of copper

Copper ions, included in the incredibly robust surface coating, react with the oxygen that is always available in the air and create active oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (adenoviruses, noroviruses, Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, many nosocomial germs, E. coli bacteria, influenza viruses or coronaviruses) come into contact with the active anti-virus and anti-bacterial coating of the display film for beetronics 8TS4, a so-called reduction-oxidation reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the copper ions, included in the antiviral and antimicrobial active layer, and form extraordinarily bactericidal active intermediate molecular species that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely efficiently. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is openly accessible and destroyed immediately. Many resistant germs, influenza viruses, Staphylococcus Aureus, Escherichia Coli bacteria, noroviruses, COVID-19 and adenoviruses are efficiently killed and are no longer virulent.

Long-lasting disinfecting activity on the beetronics 8TS4 touchscreen

In the virucidal mode of action, the reactive Cu ions change their so-called oxidation states between Cu(I) and Cu(II). The active copper ions are never used up, but are available again for ongoing surface disinfection. The surface disinfecting effectiveness is actively bactericidal for up to a year.

Transmission routes of infections

Viruses and bacteria transmitted from person to person

If an infected person sneezes into their hand, the transmissible pathogens remain on the palms of their hands. If the sick person now shakes hands with another person, the pathogens can be transmitted further. If this person now brings the infected hands to their mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for pathogens, this person can become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of pathogens via contact surfaces

Corona viruses can even be found on objects. It is not only care institutions such as clinics, nursing homes and retirement homes that are faced with the increased risk of staphylococcus infection. SARS-CoV-2 viruses can also survive on the displays of school tablets, drinks machines, mobile payment systems, cash registers, smartphones, TV sets and card systems.

Bacteria & viruses are almost always found on our hands and palms. We inevitably touch our faces with our fingers several times a day. Viruses and bacteria now pass unnoticed from the contaminated surface of the beetronics 8TS4 via our hands to our mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 viruses are thus transmitted.

Neoxum Anti-Corona and antimicrobial protective films are also active against a number of other pathogens
