Antiviral & Antibacterial film suitable for Siemens Simatic TP1200

Neoxum anti-viral and antimicrobial screen protectors are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

• SARS-CoV-2 viruses
• E. Coli
• Noro viruses
• Staphylococcus Aureus
• Adenoviruses
• Influenza viruses
• A variety of nosocomial germs

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 this is exactly where the anti viral or anti microbial permanent active screen protector from Neoxum comes into play: The active coating continuously kills pathogens and permanently reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of the pathogens are killed within minutes.

99.9% of coronaviruses and bacteria are deactivated within a few minutes

Anti-viral effectiveness

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of germs are inactivated on the antiviral and antimicrobial surface of the industrial panel screen protector for Siemens Simatic TP1200. The following graphic demonstrates that, for example, 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2 viruses have been deactivated after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause serious influenza infections, are 99.9% destroyed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus screen protector. Diarrhea pathogens such as the norovirus are 99.9% inactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial effectiveness

Even bacteria such as Escherichia Coli, also known as coli bacteria, which cause dangerous urinary tract infections, are the causative agent of sepsis and are feared as triggers of nosocomial infections, are reliably inactivated by 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a dangerous hospital germ that can sometimes lead to swelling or accumulation of pus, serious wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of various organs of the body, such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even serious sepsis (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Tested according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The antiviral and antibacterial effectiveness for 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 in the download.

Survival time of the coronavirus on various surfaces

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

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

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

The following illustration shows, based on a cutting-edge analysis 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 for a longer period of time on different surfaces and remains virulent.

Effect of the anti-corona and anti-bacterial display film

Based on the anti-viral and antibacterial effect of copper, which has been known since ancient times, a proven disinfecting active layer is created that kills pathogens immediately without the use of disinfectants.

Antiviral and antibacterial effect of copper

Copper ions, immobilized in the very long-lasting matrix, react with the oxygen constantly present in the air and cause reactive oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (influenza viruses, adenoviruses, E. coli, COVID-19, noroviruses, a variety of nosocomial pathogens or Staphylococcus aureus bacteria) come into direct contact with the active anti-viral and antibacterial layer of the screen protector for Siemens Simatic TP1200, a so-called reduction-oxidation reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the air interact with the copper ions, integrated into the anti-viral and anti-microbial active coating, and form extremely bactericidal active intermediate molecules that attack and inactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely effectively. The unprotected virus mRNA (RNA), or bacterial RNA, is accessible and immediately deactivated. a large number of nosocomial germs, Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Adenoviruses, Influenza viruses, Noroviruses and Corona are effectively deactivated and can no longer be transmitted.

Continuous disinfection of the Siemens Simatic TP1200 display

In the course of the virus-killing reaction, the active copper ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II. The active Cu ions do not become inactive, but are available again for continuous surface disinfection. The surface self-disinfection has an active bactericidal effect for up to 12 months.

How are pathogens transmitted?

Pathogens transferred from person to person

If a person infected with the flu virus blows their nose into their hand, the infectious germs stick to the palms of their hands. If the sick person then shakes hands with another person, the pathogens will be passed on. Assuming that this person then puts their hand to their mouth, nose or eyes, they will become infected with the pathogen via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of bacteria & viruses via touchscreens

Covid-19 pathogens can even stick to industrial panel screens.It is not only health institutions such as clinics, nursing homes and old people's homes that are exposed to the increased risk of Covid-19 infection. Touch displays of tablet PCs, airline ticket systems, snack machines, mobile phones, mobile payment systems, cash registers and smart TVs have also been clearly documented to contain corona viruses.

Bacteria & viruses are almost always found on our hands and palms. We definitely touch our faces with our fingers countless times a day. In doing so, germs from the contaminated surface of the Siemens Simatic TP1200 can inadvertently reach our mouth, nose and eyes via our hands. Germs such as SARS-CoV-2 viruses are transmitted in this way.

Neoxum anti-viral and antibacterial screen films can also be used against many other pathogens
