Why anti-Covid-19 screen protector 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 the antiviral or anti-microbial continuously active screen film from Neoxum comes into play: The active surface coating permanently kills viruses & bacteria and steadily decimates the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of the pathogens are inactivated within a matter of minutes.

99.9% of coronaviruses and bacteria are reduced in a period of just a few minutes

Anti-viral efficiency

In a period of just a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are destroyed on the anti-viral and anti-microbial active display film for ICP AFL-07A-LX. The following graphic clearly shows that, for example, 99.9% of the corona viruses on the surface were killed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza infections, are killed by 99.9% after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus touch 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, which cause unpleasant urinary tract diseases, pathogens of sepsis and are feared as triggers of nosocomial infections, are reliably deactivated by 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a dangerous hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or purulent ulcers, complicated wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of various organs of the human organism, 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 antibacterial effect within a period of minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 by accredited laboratories. Details can be found in the test reports.

How long does the corona virus survive on surfaces?

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

The RKI already explains the relevance of touchscreens and computers in infection prevention in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following summary 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, it is clear that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can survive on various surfaces for a longer period of time and remains transmissible.

Anti-COVID-19 effect of the Neoxum AntiVir screen protector

The surface of the durable screen protector suitable for ICP AFL-07A-LX is provided with a new, patented virus-inactivating and bacteria-killing surface layer. Chemicals that may trigger allergies are completely avoided. Instead, the antiviral and anti-bacterial mechanism of action of copper, which has been known since ancient times, is used.

Antiseptic and anti-bacterial activity of copper

Copper ions, integrated in a very durable matrix, react with the constantly available oxygen in the air and produce reactive oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (influenza viruses, many nosocomial pathogens, Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, adenoviruses, noroviruses or COVID-19) come into contact with the active antiviral and antibacterial coating of the screen protector for ICP AFL-07A-LX, a so-called redox reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the air interact with the Cu ions, integrated into the antiviral and antibacterial coating, and form truly bactericidal active intermediate molecules that very efficiently attack and inactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins. The exposed viral mRNA (RNA), or bacterial RNA, is exposed and deactivated immediately. Many resistant germs, Corona , Staphylococcus Aureus, influenza viruses, E. coli bacteria, noroviruses and adenoviruses are effectively deactivated and can no longer be transmitted.

Continuous decimation of pathogens on the ICP AFL-07A-LX display

In the virus-killing reaction, the reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II. However, the active copper ions are by no means exhausted, but are once again available for the continuous disinfection of the ICP industrial panel display surface. The self-disinfecting activity is actively virucidal for up to 12 months.

Transmission routes of infections

Infection from person to person

If an infected person sneezes into their hand, the infectious pathogens stick to the inside of their hands. If the infected person shakes hands with another person, the germs can be passed on. If this person then puts their own contaminated hand to their mouth, nose or eyes, they could become infected with the virus or bacteria through the mucous membranes.

Transmission of Covid-19 via touchscreens

Covid-19 pathogens even stick to objects.It is not only care facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes and retirement homes that are exposed to the increased risk of Covid-19 infection. Infectious pathogens can also survive on displays of airline ticket systems, mobile phones, smart TVs, school tablets, cash registers, coffee machines and mobile payment systems.

Viruses and bacteria are passed on via the hands. We definitely touch our faces with our fingers several times a day. Pathogens from the contaminated surface of the ICP AFL-07A-LX pass unnoticed via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Germs such as the corona virus are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum virucidal and antibacterial films are also suitable against many other pathogens
