Antiviral & Antibacterial monitor protection film suitable for ICP AFL3-W15C-ULT3

Neoxum anti-viral and antimicrobial protective films are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

• Noro viruses
• Many nosocomial germs
• Adeno viruses
• Influenza viruses
• Staphylococcus aureus
• Escherichia coli bacteria
• Covid-19 viruses

Why anti-Covid-19 protective film 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 the anti-viral or antibacterial long-lasting active display film from Neoxum comes into play: At any time, the effective coating kills pathogens and permanently reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are deactivated within minutes.

99.9% of viruses and bacteria are destroyed within a few minutes

Antiviral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of germs are deactivated on the antiviral and antimicrobial active screen protector for ICP AFL3-W15C-ULT3. The following summary illustrates that, for example, 99.9% of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses on the surface are killed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause the serious influenza disease, are 99.9% deactivated after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus protective film. Diarrhea pathogens, such as the norovirus, are 99.9% deactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Anti-bacterial efficiency

Even bacteria such as Escherichia Coli, also known as coli bacteria, which cause unpleasant urinary tract diseases, cause blood poisoning and are feared as a trigger for hospital infections, are reliably killed 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a feared hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or pus accumulation, wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of individual body organs such as 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 disinfectant activity within a period of 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.

Survival time of the corona virus on different surfaces

Statement by the Robert Koch Institute on the topic of disinfection of PC equipment and touch displays

The Robert Koch Institute already describes the importance of touch-sensitive screens and computers in infection prevention in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following summary shows, according to a recent study 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 on various surfaces for a long time and remains contagious.

How the anti-corona and anti-microbial screen protector works

Based on the anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects of copper, which have been known since ancient times, a tested antiseptic surface coating is created that kills viruses and bacteria directly without the use of disinfectants.

Copper kills viruses and bacteria

Copper ions, included in the extremely robust surface coating, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and create reactive oxygen species.

If germs such as bacteria or viruses (adenoviruses, coronaviruses, influenza viruses, noroviruses, many nosocomial pathogens, Escherichia coli bacteria or Staphylococcus aureus) come into direct contact with the active antiviral and antibacterial effective coating of the display film for ICP AFL3-W15C-ULT3, 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 active coating, and form quite virulent active intermediate species that very effectively attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA), or bacterial RNA, is accessible and immediately deactivated. Many multi-resistant pathogens, Adeno viruses, influenza viruses, noro viruses, E. coli bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and corona are effectively killed and are no longer virulent.

Continuous decimation of pathogens on the ICP AFL3-W15C-ULT3 touchscreen

The active Cu ions change their so-called oxidation levels between copper I and copper II in the virucidal mode of action. The active copper ions do not become inactive, but are again available for continuous surface disinfection. The surface disinfection effectiveness is actively bactericidal for up to one year.

Transmission routes of infection

Viruses and bacteria transferred from person to person

If a person infected with the flu virus sneezes into their hand, the virulent viruses stick to the inside of the hands. The virulent pathogens can then be transmitted from person to person, for example when shaking hands. If this person then brings the dirty hands to the mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for pathogens, this person could become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of pathogens via displays

Even sticking to industrial panel displays Covid-19 pathogens. Not only medical institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes and retirement homes are faced with the increased risk of influenza infection. Screens of POS kiosks, drinks machines, cash registers, televisions, tablet PCs, cell phones and mobile payment systems are also contaminated with viruses and bacteria. Viruses and bacteria are almost always found on our hands and palms. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our fingers very often during the day. Now pathogens migrate unintentionally from the contaminated surface of the ICP AFL3-W15C-ULT3 via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as corona viruses are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum virucidal and antimicrobial screen films can also be used against numerous other pathogens
