Why anti-corona screen film when there is disinfection?

Any disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates that same surface. And this is exactly where Neoxum's virucidal and antimicrobial screen protector comes into play: At all times, the active coating kills pathogens and constantly decimates the viral and bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are killed within a period of minutes.

99.9% of viruses and bacteria are deactivated within a few minutes

Antiviral efficiency

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of germs are killed on the anti viral and antimicrobial screen protector for beetronics 12TS3W. 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 disease, are 99.9% killed after just 3 minutes of contact with the Anti-Virus protective film. Diarrhea pathogens, such as the norovirus, are reduced by 99.9% after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial efficiency

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

Tested according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and antibacterial effect within a period of minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 using accredited laboratories. Details are available as downloadable test reports.

Survival time of the coronavirus on various surfaces

Statement by the Robert Koch Institute on the relevance of disinfection of PC hardware and touchscreens

The RKI already illustrates the importance of touch displays and computers in infection prevention in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following summary explains According to a cutting-edge analysis by the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) from October 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 virus can survive for a long time on various surfaces and remains infectious.

Virus and bacteria inactivating effect

The surface of the sturdy display film suitable for beetronics 12TS3W is provided with a new, patented virucidal and bacteria-killing surface layer. There is no use of any chemicals that could trigger allergies. Instead, the antiviral and antibacterial properties of copper, which have been recognized since ancient times, are used.

Viruses and bacteria are inactivated using active copper

Copper ions, immobilized in a very stable coating, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and produce reactive oxygen species.

If germs such as bacteria or viruses (a variety of nosocomial germs, COVID-19, E. coli bacteria, adenoviruses, noroviruses, influenza viruses or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria) come into direct contact with the active antiviral and antimicrobial layer of the display film for beetronics 12TS3W, a so-called redox reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the air interact with the Cu ions, integrated into the antiviral and antimicrobial coating, and develop truly bactericidal active intermediate molecular species that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins with absolute effectiveness. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA), or bacterial RNA, is exposed and immediately denatured. A large number of nosocomial germs, influenza viruses, Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, E. coli bacteria, noroviruses, adenoviruses and SARS-CoV-2 are effectively killed and are no longer contagious.

Continuous disinfection of the beetronics 12TS3W touchscreen

The reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between Cu(I) and Cu(II) during the viricidal activity. However, the active copper ions are by no means exhausted, but are available for the continuous disinfection of the beetronics industrial panel screen surface. The antibacterial and antiviral coating is active for up to 12 months and automatically denatures viruses and bacteria in a matter of minutes without the use of additional disinfecting substances.

How are viruses & bacteria transmitted?

Immediate exchange of pathogens from person to person

If an infected person sneezes into the palm of their hand, the virulent pathogens remain stuck to the inside of the hands. The infectious germs can now be passed from person to person, for example, when shaking hands. In the event thatIf this person then brings his own contaminated hand to his mouth, nose or eyes, he can become infected with the virus or bacteria via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of pathogens via touchscreens

Pathogens can even be found on surfaces. It is not only care institutions such as clinics, nursing homes and old people's homes that are faced with the increased risk of influenza infection. Corona viruses can also survive on touch displays of mobile phones, vending machines, cash registers, portable payment systems, smart TVs, airline ticket systems and tablet PCs.

Germs are passed on via the hands. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our fingers several times a day. Now germs from the contaminated surface of the beetronics 12TS3W inadvertently get to our mouth, nose and eyes via our hands. Germs such as the corona virus are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum anti-viral and anti-microbial films can also be used against a number of other pathogens
