Antiviral and antibacterial film suitable for beetronics 15TSM

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

• E. Coli
• Many nosocomial hospital germs
• Noroviruses
• Adenoviruses
• Human coronaviruses
• Influenza viruses
• Staphylococcus Aureus

Why anti-Covid-19 protective 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 the antiviral and antibacterial permanently active screen protector from Neoxum comes into play: At any moment, the active coating kills viruses and bacteria and constantly reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are killed within a period of minutes.

99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 viruses and bacteria are reduced within a few minutes

Anti-viral effectiveness

Within a period of a few minutes, up to 99.9% of germs are deactivated on the anti-viral and antibacterial active surface of the industrial panel protective film for beetronics 15TSM. The following illustration shows that, for example, 99.9% of the corona viruses on the surface were deactivated after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza disease, are 99.9% inactivated after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral touch foil. Diarrhea-causing pathogens such as the norovirus are 99.9% eliminated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial effectiveness

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

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and antibacterial effectiveness within minutes was evaluated and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 by accredited testing laboratories. Details can be found in the test reports in the download.

Statement by the RKI on the importance of disinfecting PC components and touch displays

The Robert Koch Institute already illustrates the importance of touch-sensitive screens and computers in the chain of infection in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following summary shows, 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, that the COVID-19 virus can survive for a long period of time on various surfaces and remains infectious.

Virus and bacteria inactivating effect

Based on the anti-viral and anti-bacterial effect of copper, which has been known since ancient times, a proven antiseptic surface coating is created that quickly inactivates viruses & bacteria without the use of chemicals.

Viruses and bacteria are killed with the help of active copper

Copper ions, integrated in an extremely stable coating, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and generate reactive oxygen molecules.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (coronaviruses, influenza viruses, Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, Escherichia Coli bacteria, many nosocomial germs, noroviruses or adenoviruses) come into contact with the active anti-viral and anti-bacterial layer of the screen protector for beetronics 15TSM, a so-called reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the air interact with the copper ions embedded in the anti-viral and anti-bacterial active layer and develop quite virulent active intermediate species that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely effectively. The exposed viral mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is also exposed and immediately deactivated. Many multi-resistant germs, Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, adenoviruses, noroviruses, influenza viruses, corona and E. Coli are effectively killed and are no longer infectious.

Continuous disinfection of the beetronics 15TSM screen

In this context, the reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation levels between Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the virucidal activity. The active copper ions do not become inactive, but are again available for continuous surface disinfection. The antimicrobial and antiviral layer has a bactericidal effect for up to 12 months and automatically deactivates viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfectants.

Transmission of infections

Direct transfer of pathogens from person to person

If a sick person sneezes into the palm of their hand, the virulent bacteria stick to the palms. If the sick person then shakes hands with another person, the pathogens could be transmitted further. If this person then puts the dirty hands to their mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for pathogens, this person can become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of Covid-19 via touchscreens

Even objects can harbor Covid-19 pathogens. It is not only medical institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes and retirement homes that are faced with the increased risk of influenza infection. Touchscreens of school tablets, cash registers, POS kiosks, televisions, mobile phones, mobile payment systems and snack machines are also clearly contaminated with pathogens.

Germs are almost always found on our hands and palms. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our hands countless times a day. Bacteria and viruses migrate unintentionally from the contaminated surface of the beetronics 15TSM via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as corona viruses are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum virucidal and antimicrobial protective films are also suitable against numerous other pathogens
