Why anti-corona screen protector when there is disinfection?

Any disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches the surface or contaminates it. And this is exactly where the anti viral or anti-bacterial permanently active protective film from Neoxum comes into play: The effective coating permanently kills viruses and bacteria and constantly reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are inactivated within minutes.

Anti-corona and anti-bacterial effectiveness within a few minutes - 99.9% inactivation

Antiviral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are deactivated on the anti viral and anti bacterial active protective film for ICP IOVU-17F-AD. The following illustration clearly shows that, for example, 99.9% of the Covid-19 viruses on the surface were killed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause serious influenza disease, are 99.9% killed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus display film. Diarrhea pathogens such as the norovirus are 99.9% decimated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial effectiveness

Even bacteria such as Escherichia Coli, also known as coli bacteria, which cause dangerous urinary tract diseases, cause blood poisoning and are feared as the cause of nosocomial 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 accumulation of pus, infections of open wounds, especially after operations, inflammation of selected organs of the organism, for example 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 antiviral and antibacterial activity for minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 by accredited testing laboratories. Details are available as downloadable test reports.

How long does the corona virus survive on contact surfaces?

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

The Robert Koch Institute already describes the relevance of touch displays and computers in the chain of infection in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following graphic 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, it is clear that the COVID-19 virus can survive on various surfaces for a longer period of time and remains infectious.

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 effect of the Neoxum AntiVir protective film

Based on the antiviral and antibacterial influence of copper, which has been known since ancient times, a tested disinfectant coating is created that kills pathogens very quickly without the use of chemicals.

Viruses and bacteria are killed by active copper

Copper ions, included in an extremely stable surface coating, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and generate active Oxygen species.

If germs come, such as bacteria or viruses (adenoviruses, staphylococcus aureus, noroviruses, E. coli bacteria, influenza viruses, many nosocomial pathogens or coronaviruses) in contact with the active anti-virus and anti-microbial coating of the screen protector for ICP IOVU-17F-AD, a so-called reduction-oxidation reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the copper ions embedded in the anti-viral and anti-bacterial layer and form extremely virulent active intermediate species that extremely effectively attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins. The unprotected virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA also becomes accessible and immediately inactivated. Many resistant pathogens, E. coli bacteria, influenza viruses, adenoviruses, noroviruses, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and corona are effectively killed and are no longer virulent.

Permanent disinfection of the ICP IOVU-17F-AD display

The reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the virucidal reaction. However, the active copper ions do not become inactive at all, but are available again for ongoing surface disinfection. The antimicrobial and antiviral layer has a bactericidal effect for up to 12 months and automatically inactivates viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfectants.

Transmission routes of infections

Contamination from person to person

If a sick person sneezes into their hand, the contagious viruses remain on the palm of the hand. The virulent pathogens could be passed from person to person, for example, when shaking hands. If this person then brings the infected hands to their mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for pathogens, this person could become infected with the virus or bacteria.

Transmission of Covid-19 via displays

Corona viruses can also stick to objects. Not only care facilities, such as clinics,Nursing homes and retirement homes are faced with the increased risk of corona infection. Infectious pathogens can also survive on the displays of tablets, drinks machines, televisions, cash registers, POS kiosks, smartphones and mobile payment systems.

Germs are passed on via the hands. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our hands countless times a day. Bacteria and viruses now inadvertently get from the contaminated surface of the ICP IOVU-17F-AD to the mouth, nose and eyes via the hands. Viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 viruses can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum anti-viral and antimicrobial protective films are also effective against a number of other pathogens
