Why anti-corona protective film when there is disinfection?

Any disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates that surface. And that's exactly where the antiviral or antibacterial constantly effective screen film from Neoxum comes in: At any moment, the active surface coating kills pathogens and continuously 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 deactivated within a period of just a few minutes

Anti viral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are deactivated on the anti-viral and antibacterial active display film for MAHA MLT 3000. The following illustration demonstrates that, for example, 99.9% of Covid-19 viruses were destroyed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza disease, are 99.9% killed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral touch foil. Diarrhea pathogens such as the norovirus are 99.9% eliminated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial effect

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, cause unpleasant urinary tract infections, cause sepsis and are feared as the cause of hospital infections, are reliably 99.9% eliminated after just 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a sometimes fatal hospital germ that can sometimes lead to inflammation or purulent ulcers, wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of various organs of the human 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 anti-viral and anti-bacterial effect over a period of minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 using accredited testing laboratories. The exact test results of the laboratory tests can be downloaded in the download area.

How long does the SARS-VoV-2 virus survive on contact surfaces?

RKI statement on the importance of disinfecting PC equipment and touch displays

The Robert Koch Institute already illustrates the importance of touchscreens and computers in infection prevention in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following figure shows, according to a brand new 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 different surfaces for a longer period of time and remains contagious.

Virus and bacteria inactivating effect

Based on the antiviral and antibacterial effect of copper, known since ancient times, a patented disinfecting active layer is created that kills viruses and bacteria immediately without the use of chemicals.

Viruses and bacteria are deactivated with the help of active copper

Copper ions, immobilized in an extremely robust matrix, react with the constantly present oxygen in the air and produce active oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (Noroviruses, many nosocomial pathogens, COVID-19, Escherichia Coli bacteria, Staphylococcus Aureus, influenza viruses or adenoviruses) in direct contact with the active anti-viral and antibacterial coating of the screen protector for MAHA MLT 3000, a so-called redox reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the copper ions, included in the anti-viral and anti-microbial coating, and form quite bactericidal active intermediate molecular species that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely effectively. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA), or bacterial RNA, is also exposed and immediately denatured. Many nosocomial germs, influenza viruses, E. coli, SARS-CoV-2 , noroviruses, Staphylococcus aureus and adenoviruses are effectively killed and are no longer virulent.

Constant decimation of pathogens on the MAHA MLT 3000 screen

In this context, the active copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the virucidal effect. The active copper ions are not used up in this process, but are available again for the continuous disinfection of the MAHA industrial panel touchscreen surface. The surface self-disinfection is actively virucidal for up to a year.

Transmission of infections

Direct transfer of pathogens from person to person

If a sick person sneezes into the palm of their hand, the infectious bacteria remain on the palms. If the infected person shakes hands with another person, the viruses will continue to migrate. If this person now brings the infectious hands to their mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for pathogens, this person can become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of corona viruses via contact surfaces

Covid-19 pathogens can also adhere to surfaces. Not only health facilities, such as hospitals,Nursing homes and retirement homes are exposed to an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Viruses and bacteria can also survive on screens of mobile phones, vending machines, mobile payment systems, POS kiosks, TV sets, cash registers and school tablets.

Viruses and bacteria are passed on via the hands. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our hands countless times a day. In this way, germs migrate unintentionally from the contaminated surface of the MAHA MLT 3000 via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as the corona virus can be transmitted in this way.

Neoxum anti-viral and antibacterial protective films can also be used against a number of other pathogens
