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 that is exactly where Neoxum's anti-viral and antibacterial protective film comes into play: the effective layer permanently kills viruses and bacteria and permanently reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of the pathogens are destroyed within minutes.

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

Anti-virus effectiveness

In just a few minutes, up to 99.9% of germs are killed on the antiviral and antibacterial coated display film for Siemens Simatic PC477C. The following illustration shows that, for example, 99.9% of the corona viruses on the surface have been destroyed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza infections, are 99.9% killed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus display protection film. 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 unpleasant urinary tract diseases, cause blood poisoning and are feared as the cause of hospital infections, are reliably killed after 5 minutes by 99.9%. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a sometimes fatal hospital germ that can sometimes lead to swelling or accumulation of pus, complicated wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of various organs of the human organism, such as urinary tract infections,Pneumonia or bloodstream infection up to complicated blood poisoning (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Evaluated according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and disinfecting effectiveness within a period of minutes was tested and validated in accordance with DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 by accredited testing laboratories. Details can be found in the test reports in the download.

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

Statement by the RKI on the importance of disinfecting PC components and touchscreens

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

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

The following illustration shows, according to a recent 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 for a longer period on various surfaces and remain contagious.

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 reaction of the Neoxum AntiVir protective film

Based on the antiviral and antibacterial effect of copper, known since ancient times, a patented disinfectant surface coating is created that inactivates pathogens directly without the use of disinfectants.

Antiviral and antimicrobial effect of copper

Copper ions, immobilized in the very durable coating, react with the oxygen generally present in the air and create active oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (influenza viruses, Staphylococcus Aureus, E.Coli bacteria, adenoviruses, SARS-CoV-2 virus, noroviruses or many nosocomial pathogens) come into contact with the active antiviral and antimicrobial coating of the display film for Siemens Simatic PC477C, a so-called redox reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the Cu ions, included in the antiviral and antibacterial effective coating, and develop quite virulent active intermediate molecular species that attack and deactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins with absolute effectiveness. The unprotected virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is exposed and deactivated immediately. Many resistant germs, SARS-CoV-2 , adenoviruses, Staphylococcus Aureus, noroviruses, E.Coli and influenza viruses are efficiently deactivated and are no longer transmissible.

Constantly disinfecting effect on the Siemens Simatic PC477C display

In the course of the virucidal reaction, the active Cu ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II. The active Cu ions are definitely not used up, but are available again for the progressive disinfection of the Siemens industrial panel surface. The antibacterial and antiviral coating is active for up to a year and automatically destroys viruses and bacteria in a period of a few minutes without the use of additional disinfecting reagents.

Transmission of infections

Direct transmission of pathogens from person to person

If a sick person sneezes into their hand, the transmissible pathogens remain stuck to the palms of their hands. The transmissible pathogens could be transmitted from person to person, for example, when shaking hands. Assuming that this person then puts his own contaminated hand to his mouth,to the nose or eyes, it can become infected with the pathogen via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus via touchscreens

Pathogens can even stick to industrial display panels. It is not only care facilities such as clinics, nursing homes and old people's homes that are faced with the increased risk of influenza infection. Viruses and bacteria can also survive on screens of vending machines, cash registers, TV devices, mobile payment systems, card systems, iPads and cell phones.

Bacteria and viruses are almost always found on our hands and palms. We undoubtedly touch our faces with our fingers countless times a day. Pathogens now migrate unnoticed from the contaminated surface of the Siemens Simatic PC477C via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 viruses are thus transmitted.

Neoxum antiviral and antibacterial screen protectors are also active against a number of other pathogens
