Anti-Viral & Anti-Bacterial monitor protection film suitable for ICP AFL2-W21A-H61

Neoxum anti viral and anti-bacterial effective protective films are in accordance with DIN ISO 21702, respectively. DIN ISO 22196 tested against

Why anti-virus screen protector when there are disinfectants?

Any disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates that surface. And this is where Neoxum's anti-viral and antibacterial screen film comes into play: the effective surface coating permanently kills viruses and bacteria and constantly decimates the viral or bacterial load. Within minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are reduced.

Anti-Virus & Anti-bacterial effect within a few minutes - 99.9% deactivation

Antiviral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are inactivated on the antiviral and antimicrobial surface of the industrial panel protective film for ICP AFL2-W21A-H61. The following summary underlines that, for example, 99.9% of Covid-19 viruses were inactivated after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause the serious influenza flu, are 99.9% destroyed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus protective film. Diarrhea-causing pathogens such as the norovirus are 99.9% inactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial activity

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coliform bacteria, which cause unpleasant urinary tract diseases, are the pathogens of sepsis and are feared as the cause of hospital infections, are reliably killed after 5 minutes by 99.9%. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a multi-resistant hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or purulent ulcers, severe wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of various organs of the organism, such as 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-virus and disinfecting effectiveness within a period of minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 with the help of accredited laboratories. Details can be found in the test reports.

How long does the corona virus survive on surfaces?

Statement by the Robert Koch Institute on the importance of disinfecting PC equipment and touch displays

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 summary shows, according to a cutting-edge analysis 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 on various surfaces for a longer period of time and remains virulent.

Virus and bacteria inactivating effect

The surface of the stable display film suitable for ICP AFL2-W21A-H61 is equipped with a new, patented virus-inactivating and bacteria-inactivating surface layer. There is no use of any chemicals that could trigger allergies. Alternatively, the antiviral and antibacterial mechanism of action of copper, which has been known since ancient times, is used.

Copper kills viruses and bacteria

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 (influenza viruses, E. coli bacteria, many nosocomial pathogens, noroviruses, Staphylococcus Aureus, adenoviruses or COVID-19) come into direct contact with the active anti-virus and anti-microbial layer of the protective film for ICP AFL2-W21A-H61, a so-called reduction-oxidation reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the air interact with the copper ions, integrated into the anti-viral and anti-bacterial active coating, and develop truly virulent active intermediate molecular 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 denatured. Many nosocomial pathogens, Noroviruses, Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, E. Coli, influenza viruses, adenoviruses and SARS-CoV-2 are effectively killed and are no longer infectious.

Continuous disinfection of the ICP AFL2-W21A-H61 touchscreen

The active copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II in the virus-killing activity. The active Cu ions are not consumed under any circumstances, but are available again for continuous surface disinfection. The surface disinfectant effectiveness is actively virucidal for up to 12 months.

Transmission of an infection

Contamination from person to person

If a person infected with the flu virus blows their nose into their hand, the infectious pathogens stick to the palm of the hand. If the infected person now shakes hands with another person, the pathogens will be transmitted. If this person then puts their hand to their mouth, nose or eyes, they could become infected with the germ via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of pathogens via touchscreens

Pathogens can also adhere to industrial panel displays.It is not only healthcare facilities such as clinics, nursing homes and retirement homes that are faced with the increased risk of influenza infection. Pathogens can also survive on touchscreens of TV sets, portable payment systems, vending machines, tablets, smartphones, POS kiosks and cash registers.

Bacteria & viruses are almost always found on our hands and palms. We undoubtedly touch our faces with our hands countless times a day. This means that pathogens can inadvertently get from the contaminated surface of the ICP AFL2-W21A-H61 via our hands to our mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 viruses can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum antiviral and antimicrobial screen protectors are also effective against many other pathogens
