Anti SARS-CoV2 virus display film suitable for ICP IOVU-752S

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

• SARS-CoV-2 viruses
• Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria
• influenza viruses
• noroviruses
• adenoviruses
• E. coli bacteria
• Many nosocomial pathogens

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 exactly where Neoxum's permanently anti-viral or anti-microbial screen protector comes into play: the active coating permanently kills pathogens and steadily reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are killed within minutes.

99.9% of Covid-19 viruses and bacteria are reduced within a few minutes

Anti-viral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of germs are deactivated on the antiviral and antibacterial coated display film for ICP IOVU-752S. The following illustration underlines that, for example, 99.9% of Covid-19 viruses have been destroyed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause serious influenza, are 99.9% destroyed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral touch film. Diarrhea pathogens such as the norovirus are 99.9% deactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial effectiveness

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, which trigger unpleasant urinary tract diseases, cause blood poisoning and are feared as the cause of nosocomial infections, are reliably decimated by 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a sometimes fatal hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or accumulation of pus, complicated wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of selected bodily organs of the organism, for example 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 anti-bacterial activity within minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 with the help of accredited laboratories. The exact test results of the laboratory tests can be downloaded in the download area.

Survival time of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on different surfaces

Statement by the RKI on the topic of disinfection of PC equipment and touch displays

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

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

The following graphic shows, according to a cutting-edge 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 on various surfaces for a longer period of time and remains contagious.

Anti-COVID-19 effect of the Neoxum AntiVir film

The surface of the long-lasting display film suitable for ICP IOVU-752S is equipped with a new patented virus-killing and bacteria-inactivating surface layer. Chemicals that may trigger allergies are completely avoided. Instead, the antiviral and antibacterial mechanism of action of copper, which has been known since ancient times, is used.

Antiviral and antibacterial action of copper

Copper ions, immobilized in an incredibly robust matrix, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and produce active oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (Staphylococcus Aureus, Noroviruses, Adenoviruses, Escherichia Coli bacteria, influenza viruses, many nosocomial pathogens or SARS-CoV-2 virus) come into direct contact with the active anti-viral and anti-microbial coating of the protective film for ICP IOVU-752S, a so-called redox reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the air interact with the copper ions embedded in the anti-viral and anti-microbial layer and develop quite bactericidal active intermediate molecular species that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins with absolute efficiency. The exposed viral mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is openly accessible and immediately deactivated. Many resistant germs, E. coli bacteria, corona, influenza viruses, adenoviruses, noroviruses and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are effectively killed and can no longer be transmitted.

Continuous decimation of pathogens on the ICP IOVU-752S display

The reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the course of their virus-killing effect. The active copper ions are not exhausted, but are available again for continuous surface disinfection. The antimicrobial and antiviral layer is effective for up to 12 months and automatically inactivates viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfecting substances.

Transmission routes of an infection

Direct transfer of pathogens from person to person

If a sick person sneezes into their hand, the contagious bacteria stick to the palm of the hand. The infectious pathogens could be transmitted from person to person, for example, when shaking hands. If this person then puts their own infectious hand to their mouth, nose or eyes,he can become infected with the pathogen via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of bacteria and viruses via touchscreens

SARS-CoV-2 viruses can even be found on contact surfaces. It is not only health institutions such as clinics, nursing homes and old people's homes that are exposed to the increased risk of corona infection. Corona viruses have also been clearly documented on touch displays of mobile payment systems, snack machines, airline ticket systems, cash registers, school tablets, mobile phones and TV sets.

Germs are almost always found on our hands and palms. We inevitably touch our faces with our hands several times a day. This means that pathogens from the contaminated surface of the ICP IOVU-752S can unintentionally reach our mouth, nose and eyes via our hands. Germs such as corona viruses are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum antiviral and antimicrobial protective films can also be used against many other pathogens
