Why anti-corona screen protector when there is disinfection?

Any disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates that surface. And this is where the antiviral and antibacterial screen protector from Neoxum comes into play: The effective coating permanently kills pathogens and constantly reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are deactivated within a few minutes.

Anti-virus effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are inactivated on the anti-viral and anti-microbial coated protective film for ICP IOVU-07F-AD. The following summary shows that, for example, 99.9% of Covid-19 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-viral touch foil. Diarrhea pathogens, such as the norovirus, are decimated by 99.9% 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, cause sepsis and are feared as a cause of hospital infections, are reliably inactivated by 99.9% after just 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a sometimes fatal hospital germ that can sometimes lead to inflammation or accumulation of pus, severe wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of selected organs of the human body, such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even severe blood poisoning (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Tested according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and anti-microbial effect within a period of minutes was evaluated and validated by accredited laboratories in accordance with 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 coronavirus on different surfaces

Statement by the Robert Koch Institute on the relevance of disinfection of PC components and touch displays

The RKI already describes the importance of touch displays and computers in the chain of infection in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following figure explains, according to a current evaluation 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 remain infectious.

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

Based on the anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects of copper, which have been known since ancient times, a tested disinfectant active layer is created that quickly inactivates pathogens without the use of disinfectants.

Antiviral and antibacterial effects of copper

Copper ions, integrated in a very stable surface coating, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and produce active oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (Noroviruses, influenza viruses, Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, SARS-CoV-2 virus, adenoviruses or many nosocomial germs) come into direct contact with the active antiviral and antimicrobial layer of the screen protector for ICP IOVU-07F-AD, a so-called reduction-oxidation reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the copper ions, included in the antiviral and antimicrobial active coating, and develop truly bactericidal active intermediate molecules that very efficiently attack and deactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is also accessible and immediately destroyed. Many nosocomial pathogens, influenza viruses, Staphylococcus Aureus, SARS-CoV-2, noroviruses, adenoviruses and Escherichia Coli are effectively inactivated and are no longer contagious.

Long-term disinfecting activity on the ICP IOVU-07F-AD screen

In this context, the active Cu ions change their so-called oxidation states between Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the virucidal activity. However, the active copper ions are by no means used up, but are repeatedly available for ongoing surface disinfection. The antibacterial and antiviral layer is effective for up to a year and automatically kills viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfectants.

Transmission routes of infections

Immediate exchange of pathogens from person to person

If a person infected with the flu virus sneezes into their hand, the transmissible pathogens remain stuck to the palms of their hands. If the sick person now shakes hands with another person, the viruses will be passed on. If this person then puts their own contaminated hand to their mouth, nose or eyes,he can become infected with the pathogen via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of Covid-19 via contact surfaces

Covid-19 pathogens can also stick to surfaces. It is not only care institutions such as clinics, nursing homes and old people's homes that are faced with the increased risk of corona infection. Corona viruses have also been clearly documented on touch displays of ticket systems, tablets, mobile payment systems, cell phones, snack machines, televisions and cash registers.

Pathogens are passed on via the hands. We certainly touch our faces with our fingers very often during the day. In this way, bacteria & viruses inadvertently get from the contaminated surface of the ICP IOVU-07F-AD via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as corona viruses can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum anti-viral and antibacterial display films can also be used against many other pathogens
