Automatically disinfecting display film suitable for Siemens Simatic TP700

Neoxum anti viral and antibacterial effective display protection films are in accordance with DIN ISO 21702, respectively. DIN ISO 22196 tested against

• Influenza viruses
• Adeno viruses
• A variety of nosocomial pathogens
• Noroviruses
• human coronaviruses
• E.Coli bacteria
• Staphylococcus aureus bacteria

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 same surface. And that is exactly where Neoxum's virucidal or antimicrobial permanent protective film comes into play: The effective coating kills pathogens at all times and continuously reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are destroyed within a period of minutes.

Anti-virus and anti-bacterial effectiveness in just a few minutes - 99.9% reduction

Antiviral effectiveness

In just a few minutes, up to 99.9% of germs are destroyed on the anti-viral and antibacterial coated display film for Siemens Simatic TP700. The following figure shows that, for example, 99.9% of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses on the surface have been killed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza, are 99.9% inactivated after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus film. Diarrhea pathogens such as the norovirus are 99.9% deactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial activity

Even bacteria such as Escherichia Coli, also known as coli bacteria, which causes dangerous urinary tract infections, causes sepsis and is feared as the cause of hospital infections, are reliably killed by 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a dangerous hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or accumulation of pus, wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of selected organs of the human body, such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even extreme sepsis (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196

The anti-virus and disinfectant effect over a period of minutes was evaluated and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 using accredited 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 surfaces?

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

The RKI already defines the importance of touch-sensitive screens 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 illustration shows, according to a current analysis by the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) = Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial research) from October 2020, that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can survive for a longer period of time on various surfaces and remains transmissible.

Anti-COVID-19 reaction of the Neoxum AntiVir film

Based on the antiviral and antimicrobial effect of copper, known since ancient times, a tested disinfectant coating is created that kills pathogens immediately without the use of disinfectants.

Copper kills viruses and bacteria

Copper ions, integrated in the extremely robust matrix, react with the generally available oxygen in the air and create active oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria, a variety of nosocomial pathogens, coronaviruses, E. coli, adenoviruses, influenza viruses or noroviruses) come into direct contact with the active anti-viral and antibacterial coating of the protective film for Siemens Simatic TP700, a so-called reduction-oxidation reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the air interact with the Cu ions embedded in the anti-viral and antibacterial effective layer and develop extraordinarily bactericidal active intermediate molecular species that attack and inactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins with enormous effectiveness. The exposed virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is also exposed and immediately destroyed. A large number of resistant pathogens, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, SARS-CoV-2 , noroviruses, adenoviruses and influenza viruses are effectively killed and are no longer infectious.

Long-term disinfecting reaction on the Siemens Simatic TP700 screen

The reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between Cu(I) and Cu(II) in the virus-killing mode of action. The active Cu ions are not used up, but are available again for ongoing surface disinfection. The surface disinfectant effect is actively virucidal for up to a year.

How are germs transmitted?

Direct transfer of pathogens from person to person

If an infected person sneezes into their hand, the virulent pathogens stick to the palm of the hand. If the sick person shakes hands with another person, the germs will be transported further. If this person then brings the dirty hands to their mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for germs, this person could become infected with the virus or bacteria.

Transmission of pathogens via surfaces

Pathogens can even stick to objects. Medical facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes and retirement homes are not the only ones facing the increased risk of norovirus infection. Pathogens can also persist on monitors of cash register systems, snack machines, smartphones, mobile payment systems, iPads, TVs and POS kiosks.

Viruses and bacteria are passed on via the hands. We certainly touch our faces with our hands several times a day. This means that pathogens inadvertently migrate from the contaminated surface of the Siemens Simatic TP700 via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Germs such as corona viruses are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum Anti-Covid-19 and anti-microbial protective films can also be used against many other pathogens
