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 the surface. And this is exactly where Neoxum's virucidal or antimicrobial screen film comes into play: the effective layer permanently kills viruses and bacteria and constantly decimates the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are deactivated within minutes.

Anti viral & Anti bacterial activity in a period of a few minutes - 99.9% reduction

Anti-viral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are deactivated on the antiviral and anti microbial display film for ICP PPC-F12B-BT. The following summary shows that, for example, 99.9% of corona viruses were destroyed 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 touch film. Diarrhea pathogens, such as the norovirus, are reduced by 99.9% after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial effectiveness

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, which cause unpleasant urinary tract diseases, cause sepsis and are feared as triggers of 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 purulent ulcers, infections of open wounds, especially after operations, inflammation of individual bodily organs of the human organism, such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even severe blood poisoning (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and anti-microbial activity for minutes was evaluated and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 using accredited laboratories. Details are available as downloadable test reports.

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

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

The RKI already describes the relevance of touch-sensitive screens and computers in infection prevention in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following figure shows, according to a brand new 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.

Virus and bacteria killing effect

The surface of the stable touch foil suitable for ICP PPC-F12B-BT is equipped with a new patented virus-inactivating and bacteria-killing layer. Chemicals that may trigger allergies are completely avoided. Instead, the anti-viral and antimicrobial effect of copper, which has been used since ancient times, is used.

Copper kills viruses and bacteria

Copper ions, embedded in an extremely robust coating, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and create reactive oxygen molecules.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (E. coli, Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, many nosocomial germs, COVID-19, adenoviruses, noroviruses or influenza viruses) come into direct contact with the active anti-viral and anti-microbial effective coating of the screen protector for ICP PPC-F12B-BT, a so-called redox reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the copper ions embedded in the anti-viral and antibacterial coating and form extraordinarily virulent active intermediate species that attack and deactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins absolutely effectively. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is also accessible and immediately deactivated. Many nosocomial pathogens, Adenoviruses, E. coli bacteria, noroviruses, influenza viruses, COVID-19 and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are efficiently killed and are no longer virulent.

Long-term disinfecting effect on the ICP PPC-F12B-BT display

In the course of the virucidal effect, the reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II. The active copper ions are definitely not exhausted, but are available again for progressive surface disinfection. The surface disinfectant effect is actively bactericidal for up to a year.

How are viruses and bacteria transmitted?

Infection from person to person

If a person infected with the influenza virus sneezes into the palm of their hand, the infectious bacteria remain on the palm of the hand. If the infected person now shakes hands with another person, the pathogens could be transported further. If this person then puts their hand to their mouth, nose or eyes, they can become infected with the germ via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of corona viruses via touchscreens

Pathogens also stick to industrial panel screens. It is not only care facilities such as clinics, nursing homes and retirement homes that are faced with the increased risk of a Covid-19 infection. Touchscreens of airline ticket systems, portable payment systems, cash register systems, TV devices, iPads, mobile phones and snack machines are also clearly contaminated with pathogens.

Pathogens are almost always found on our hands and palms. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our hands countless times a day. Now bacteria & viruses migrate unintentionally from the contaminated surface of the ICP PPC-F12B-BT via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as the corona virus are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum virucidal and anti-microbial display films can also be used against a number of other pathogens
