Anti-Viral & Anti-Bacterial film suitable for ELO 1790L - Open Frame - Bezel

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

• Influenza viruses
• Adeno viruses
• Staphylococcus aureus bacteria
• Noro viruses
• E. coli bacteria
• Many nosocomial germs
• SARS-CoV-2 viruses

Why anti-virus protective 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 where the anti-viral and antibacterial consistently effective screen protector from Neoxum comes into play: The active coating kills viruses and bacteria at all times and permanently reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are decimated within a matter of minutes.

Anti-virus efficiency

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are destroyed on the anti-viral and anti-bacterial protective film for ELO 1790L - Open Frame - Bezel. The following illustration shows that, for example, 99.9% of corona viruses were destroyed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza, are 99.9% destroyed after just 3 minutes of contact with the Anti-Virus film. Diarrhea pathogens, such as the norovirus, are reduced by 99.9% after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial effectiveness

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

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and antimicrobial effect within minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 with the help of accredited testing laboratories. Details can be found in the test reports in the download.

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

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

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

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

The following illustration explains, according to cutting-edge research 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 long time on different surfaces and remains virulent.

Anti-corona effect of the Neoxum AntiVir film

The surface of the sturdy screen protector suitable for ELO 1790L - Open Frame - Bezel has been manufactured with a new, patented virus-killing and bactericidal layer. It completely avoids any chemicals that may trigger allergies. Rather, the anti-viral and antibacterial effect of copper, which has been known since ancient times, is relied upon.

Antiseptic and anti-bacterial activity of copper

Copper ions, immobilized in an incredibly robust matrix, react with the oxygen in the air that is always present and create reactive oxygen molecules.

If germs such as bacteria or viruses (many nosocomial germs, influenza viruses, E. coli, Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, adenoviruses, noroviruses or coronaviruses) come into direct contact with the active anti-viral and anti-bacterial coating of the display film for ELO 1790L - Open Frame - Bezel, a so-called reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the Cu ions, embedded in the anti-viral and anti-bacterial effective coating, and form extremely virulent active intermediate species that attack and inactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins absolutely effectively. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is openly accessible and instantly denatured. Many multi-resistant germs, adenoviruses, SARS-CoV-2, influenza viruses, E. coli bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and noroviruses are effectively killed and are no longer virulent.

Continuous disinfection of the ELO 1790L - Open Frame - Bezel screen

The active copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II in the course of their virus-killing activity. The active copper ions are not exhausted in the process, but are available again for the progressive disinfection of the ELO industrial panel display surface. The antibacterial and antiviral coating has a virucidal effect for up to a year and automatically denatures viruses and bacteria within a period of a few minutes without the use of additional disinfecting reagents.

Transmission routes of an infection

Viruses & bacteria transferred from person to person

If a person infected with the flu virus sneezes into the palm of their hand, the infectious pathogens stick to the inside of their hands. If the sick person shakes hands with another person, the pathogens could be transmitted further. If this person then puts their own contaminated hand to their mouth, nose or eyes,it can become infected with the pathogen via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus via touchscreens

Corona viruses can even stick to contact surfaces. It is not only health institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes and old people's homes that are faced with the increased risk of norovirus infection. Pathogens can also survive on touchscreens of cash registers, coffee machines, smartphones, tablets, card systems, mobile payment systems and TV sets.

Germs are passed on via the hands. We definitely touch our faces with our fingers very often during the day. Pathogens now inadvertently migrate from the contaminated surface of the ELO 1790L - Open Frame - Bezel via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as Corona viruses can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum Anti-Covid-19 and bactericidal films can also be used against numerous other pathogens
