Neoxum antiviral and anti-bacterial screen protectors are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

• Escherichia Coli
• human coronaviruses
• Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria
• Noroviruses
• Many nosocomial germs
• Adenoviruses
• Influenza viruses

Why anti-Covid-19 screen film when there are disinfectants?

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 and anti-bacterial display film comes into play: the active surface coating permanently kills pathogens and constantly reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are reduced within a matter of minutes.

99.9% of coronaviruses and bacteria are killed within a few minutes

Anti-virus efficiency

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are killed on the antiviral and antibacterial screen protector for hematec P21F-001-001-01. The following illustration clearly shows that, for example, 99.9% of the Covid-19 viruses were deactivated after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause the serious influenza disease, are 99.9% killed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral touch foil. Diarrhea-causing pathogens such as norovirus are 99.9% inactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial efficiency

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coliform bacteria, which cause dangerous urinary tract infections, cause blood poisoning and are feared as triggers of nosocomial infections, are reliably 99.9% inactivated after just 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a multi-resistant hospital germ that sometimes leads to swelling or pus accumulation, infections of open wounds, especially after operations, inflammation of individual organs of the human organism, for example urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even complicated sepsis (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and disinfecting effectiveness for minutes was tested and validated by accredited testing laboratories according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196. The exact test results of the laboratory tests can be downloaded in the download area.

Survival time of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on various contact surfaces

Statement by the RKI on the topic of disinfection of PC hardware and touchscreens

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

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

The following figure illustrates, 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 SARS-CoV-2 virus can survive for a long period of time on various surfaces and remains contagious.

Effect of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 and antibacterial protective film

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

Copper kills viruses and bacteria

Copper ions, integrated in a extremely robust surface coating, react with the oxygen present in the air at all times and create reactive oxygen species.

If germs such as bacteria or viruses (adenoviruses, many nosocomial germs, E. coli, noroviruses, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, influenza viruses or COVID-19) come into direct contact with the active anti-virus and anti-bacterial layer of the display film for hematec P21F-001-001-01, 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 active coating, and form quite virulent active intermediate molecular species that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely effectively. The unprotected virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA becomes accessible and is immediately destroyed. Many multi-resistant pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, influenza viruses, noroviruses, SARS-CoV-2, E. coli bacteria and adenoviruses are effectively inactivated and are no longer virulent.

Continuous disinfection of the hematec P21F-001-001-01 display

The reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II in their virus-killing effect. The active copper ions do not become inactive, however, but are once again available for the continuous disinfection of the hematec industrial panel monitor surface. The antibacterial and antiviral layer is bactericidal for up to 12 months and automatically deactivates viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfectants.

Transmission routes of infections

Infection from person to person

If a sick person sneezes into their hand, the transmissible pathogens stick to the inside of the hands. If the infected person now shakes hands with another person, the viruses can be passed on. If this person now brings the contaminated hands to their mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for viruses and bacteria, this person can become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of coronaviruses via touchscreens

SARS-CoV-2 viruses can even stick to surfaces. It is not only care facilities such as clinics, nursing homes and retirement homes that are exposed to the increased risk of corona infection. Display panels of snack machines, cash registers, portable payment systems, tablet PCs, smartphones, TV sets and card systems are also contaminated with viruses and bacteria.

Bacteria & viruses are almost always found on our hands and palms. Without a doubt, we touch our faces with our fingers countless times a day. In this way, pathogens inadvertently get from the contaminated surface of the hematec P21F-001-001-01 via our hands to our mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as the corona virus can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum anti-viral and bactericidal screen films are also suitable against numerous other pathogens
