Anti SARS-CoV2 virus protective film suitable for beetronics 10TS6

Neoxum anti-viral and antibacterial effective display films are in accordance with DIN ISO 21702, respectively. DIN ISO 22196 tested against

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

Why anti-virus display 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 exactly where Neoxum's anti-viral and antibacterial permanent protective film comes into play: At any moment, the effective coating kills viruses and bacteria and continuously reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are killed within a period of minutes.

Anti-COVID-19 and antibacterial effect within a few minutes - 99.9% reduction

Anti-virus efficiency

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of germs are inactivated on the anti-viral and anti-microbial active surface of the industrial panel display film for beetronics 10TS6. The following graphic demonstrates that, for example, 99.9% of the corona viruses on the surface were 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-viral protective film. Diarrhea pathogens, such as the norovirus, are 99.9% deactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial activity

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, which cause unpleasant urinary tract diseases, pathogens of sepsis and are feared as triggers of hospital infections, are reliably 99.9% deactivated after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a sometimes fatal hospital germ that can sometimes lead to inflammation or pus accumulation, wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of individual organs of the human body, for example urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even severe sepsis (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Tested according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

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

How long does the SARS-VoV-2 virus survive on surfaces?

Statement by the RKI on the topic of disinfection of PC equipment and touch displays

The RKI already illustrates the importance of touch screens and computers in infection prevention 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, according to a cutting-edge 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 different surfaces and remains infectious.

Mechanism of action of the anti-corona and antibacterial display film

Based on the antiviral and antibacterial effect of copper, known since ancient times, a patented disinfectant surface coating is created that quickly kills pathogens without the use of disinfectants.

Antiviral and antibacterial effect of copper

Copper ions, included in an extremely stable coating, react with the ever-existing oxygen in the air and generate reactive oxygen molecules.

If germs come, such as bacteria or viruses (Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, SARS-CoV-2 virus, many nosocomial germs, E.Coli bacteria, influenza viruses, noroviruses or adenoviruses) in direct contact with the active antiviral and antimicrobial coating of the protective film for beetronics 10TS6, a so-called redox reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air react with the copper ions, included in the anti-viral and anti-microbial coating, and form extremely bactericidal active intermediate molecular species that attack and deactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely effectively. The unprotected viral mRNA (RNA), or bacterial RNA, is also openly accessible and immediately deactivated. Many nosocomial pathogens, influenza viruses, adenoviruses, Staphylococcus Aureus, Escherichia Coli bacteria, SARS-CoV-2 and noroviruses are efficiently deactivated and are no longer transmissible.

Continuous decimation of pathogens on the beetronics 10TS6 touchscreen

In this context, the active copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II in the virucidal activity. However, the active Cu ions are by no means exhausted, but are available again for the continuous disinfection of the beetronics industrial panel touchscreen surface. The self-disinfecting activity has an active bactericidal effect for up to a year.

Transmission of an infection

Direct transfer of pathogens from person to person

If a sick person sneezes into their hand, the contagious pathogens stick to the palms of their hands. The contagious pathogens could then be transmitted from person to person, for example, when shaking hands. If this person then directs the infectious hands to the mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for pathogens, this person could become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of corona viruses via displays

Pathogens even stick to contact surfaces. Not only health institutions,such as clinics, nursing homes and old people's homes are exposed to an increased risk of norovirus infection. Touchscreens of televisions, ticket systems, portable payment systems, tablet PCs, cash registers, smartphones and snack machines are also clearly contaminated with pathogens.

Bacteria & viruses are passed on via the hands. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our fingers countless times a day. This means that bacteria & viruses accidentally get from the contaminated surface of the beetronics 10TS6 via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as corona viruses can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum antiviral and antimicrobial films can also be used against a number of other pathogens
