Antiviral & Antibacterial display film suitable for ICP AFL3-W10A-BT

Neoxum anti viral and anti-bacterial effective display protection films are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

• Noro viruses
• E.Coli bacteria
• Influenza viruses
• Staphylococcus Aureus
• Adeno viruses
• Many nosocomial pathogens
• Corona viruses

Why Anti-virus screen protector, when there are disinfectants?

Any disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates the surface. And this is exactly where the antiviral or antibacterial long-lasting screen protector from Neoxum comes into play: the active layer permanently kills pathogens and permanently reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are reduced within a matter of minutes.

Anti-virus & Anti-bacterial activity within a few minutes - 99.9% deactivation

Anti-viral efficiency

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are destroyed on the antiviral and antibacterial protective film for ICP AFL3-W10A-BT. The following graphic demonstrates that, for example, 99.9% of the Corona viruses on the surface were killed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause serious influenza disease, are 99.9% inactivated after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral film. Diarrhea pathogens, such as the norovirus, are 99.9% deactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial effectiveness

Even bacteria such as Escherichia 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 multi-resistant hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or pus accumulation, infections of open wounds, especially after operations, inflammation of selected organs of the human body, for example urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even serious sepsis (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

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

How long does the coronavirus survive on surfaces?

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

The Robert Koch Institute already describes the importance of touchscreens and computers in the chain of infection 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 explains, according to a recent evaluation 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 time on various surfaces and remains infectious.

Anti-virus effect of the Neoxum AntiVir protective film

Based on the anti-viral and antibacterial effect of copper, which has been known since ancient times, this results in a tested antiseptic surface coating that kills pathogens very quickly without the use of disinfectants.

Antiseptic and anti-bacterial activity of copper

Copper ions, embedded in the extremely robust coating, react with the oxygen that is always available in the air and generate active oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (adenoviruses, E. coli bacteria, influenza viruses, many nosocomial pathogens, noroviruses, SARS-CoV-2 virus or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria) come into contact with the active anti-viral and anti-microbial coating of the display film for ICP AFL3-W10A-BT, a so-called reduction-oxidation reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the air interact with the copper ions, included in the anti-viral and anti-microbial coating, and develop extremely virulent active intermediate molecular species that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins absolutely effectively. The unprotected virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is exposed and instantly denatured. Many resistant pathogens, E. coli bacteria, Corona , influenza viruses, adenoviruses, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and noroviruses are effectively killed and are no longer contagious.

Constant decimation of the pathogens on the ICP AFL3-W10A-BT display

In the course of their virucidal action, the active copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II. The active Cu ions are not used up under any circumstances, but are available again for ongoing surface disinfection. The antibacterial and antiviral coating is effective for up to a year and automatically kills 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 an infected person sneezes into the palm of their hand, the transmissible pathogens stick to the inside of their hands. The active pathogens could be transmitted from person to person, for example, when shaking hands. If this person then brings the contaminated hands to their mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for viruses & bacteria,this person can become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus via contact surfaces

Pathogens are even found on industrial display panels. It is not only healthcare facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes and old people's homes that are exposed to the increased risk of Covid-19 infection. Display panels of snack machines, televisions, POS kiosks, cell phones, iPads, portable payment systems and cash registers are also contaminated with viruses and bacteria

Germs are passed on via the hands. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our fingers very often during the day. In doing so, pathogens from the contaminated surface of the ICP AFL3-W10A-BT pass unnoticed via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Viruses such as the corona virus can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum antiviral and antimicrobial screen films are also active against many other pathogens
