Antiviral and antibacterial protective film suitable for Siemens Simatic TP900

Neoxum anti viral and antibacterial protective films are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

• Staphylococcus Aureus
• Influenza viruses
• E. Coli
• Adenoviruses
• Noroviruses
• Covid-19 viruses
• Many nosocomial pathogens

Why anti-Covid-19 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 where Neoxum's permanently antiviral or antibacterial active display protector comes into play: The active layer continuously kills pathogens and permanently reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are decimated within minutes.

Anti-Virus & Anti-bacterial effectiveness within a few minutes - 99.9% reduction

Antiviral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are destroyed on the anti-viral and antibacterial protective film for Siemens Simatic TP900. The following illustration shows that, for example, 99.9% of the Corona viruses on the surface were deactivated after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza, are 99.9% killed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral display film. Diarrhea-causing pathogens such as the norovirus are decimated by 99.9% after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial activity

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, which causes unpleasant urinary tract diseases, pathogens of blood poisoning and is feared as a trigger of nosocomial infections, are reliably inactivated by 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a sometimes fatal hospital germ that sometimes leads to swelling or purulent ulcers, serious wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of various body organs, for example urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even severe sepsis (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196

The antiviral and disinfecting effect within minutes was evaluated and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 by accredited testing laboratories. Details can be found in the test reports.

Anti-COVID-19 effect of the Neoxum AntiVir screen protector

The surface of the durable screen protector suitable for Siemens Simatic TP900 has been manufactured with a new patented virucidal and bacteria-killing surface layer. Chemicals that could potentially trigger allergies are completely avoided. Instead, the antiviral and antibacterial properties of copper, which have been recognized since ancient times, are used.

Viruses and bacteria are killed using active copper

Copper ions, immobilized in the incredibly stable coating, react with the oxygen that is always available in the air and create active oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (coronaviruses, Escherichia coli bacteria, influenza viruses, many nosocomial pathogens, noroviruses, adenoviruses or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria) come into contact with the active anti-viral and anti-bacterial coating of the screen protector for Siemens Simatic TP900, a so-called reduction-oxidation reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the Cu ions, embedded in the antiviral and antimicrobial coating, and form extremely bactericidal active intermediate molecular species that attack and deactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely effectively. The unprotected virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is exposed and immediately inactivated. Many nosocomial pathogens, influenza viruses, E. coli, COVID-19, noroviruses, adenoviruses and Staphylococcus aureus are effectively inactivated and are no longer infectious.

Continuous disinfection of the Siemens Simatic TP900 display

The reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation levels between copper I and copper II in the virucidal effect. The active copper ions are never used up, but are available again for continuous surface disinfection. The surface self-disinfection is actively virucidal for up to a year.

Transmission of contamination

Pathogens transferred from person to person

If a person suffering from the flu virus blows their nose into their hand, the infectious bacteria remain stuck to the palm of the hand. The transmissible pathogens can be transmitted from person to person, for example when shaking hands. If this person then directs the infectious hands to the mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for pathogens, this person can become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus via touchscreens

Even germs can stick to surfaces. It is not only healthcare facilities such as clinics, nursing homes and retirement homes that are faced with the increased risk of staphylococcus infection. SARS-CoV-2 viruses can also survive on the displays of airline ticket systems, mobile payment systems, mobile phones, school tablets, snack machines, cash registers and TV sets.

Bacteria & viruses are passed on via the hands. There is no doubt that we touch our faces with our fingers many times a day. In this way, pathogens from the contaminated surface of the Siemens Simatic TP900 can unintentionally reach the mouth, nose and eyes via the hands. Pathogens such as corona viruses are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum virucidal and antimicrobial screen films are also active against numerous other pathogens
