Anti-Corona display film suitable for Siemens Simatic TP170

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

• Many nosocomial pathogens
• Adenoviruses
• Corona viruses
• Influenza viruses
• Escherichia coli bacteria

Why anti-Covid-19 screen protector when there are disinfectants?

Every disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates that surface. And at this point the anti viral or anti-microbial long-lasting active protective film from Neoxum takes effect: The active coating continuously kills pathogens and permanently reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are killed within minutes.

Anti-virus effectiveness

In a period of a few minutes, up to 99.9% of pathogens are inactivated on the anti-viral and anti-microbial protective film for Siemens Simatic TP170. The following illustration underlines that, for example, 99.9% of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses have already been inactivated after 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause serious influenza infections, are 99.9% killed after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-virus touch film. Diarrhea-causing pathogens such as the norovirus are 99.9% inactivated after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antimicrobial effectiveness

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

Tested according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and antimicrobial effectiveness within minutes was tested and validated according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196 using accredited testing laboratories. Details can be found in the test reports.

How long does the corona virus survive on contact surfaces?

Statement by the Robert Koch Institute on the importance of disinfecting PC components and touch displays

The RKI already defined the relevance of touch-sensitive screens and computers in the chain of infection in its statement of April 5, 2019:

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

The following illustration explains, based on 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 for a long time on various surfaces and remains transmissible.

Effect of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 and anti-bacterial display film

The surface of the long-lasting touch film suitable for Siemens Simatic TP170 is provided with a new patented surface layer that kills viruses and inactivates bacteria. Chemicals that may trigger allergies are completely avoided. Rather, the focus is on the antiviral and antibacterial effects of copper, which have been recognized since ancient times.

Copper kills viruses and bacteria

Copper ions, embedded in a very stable matrix, react with the constantly existing oxygen in the air and create active oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses (E. coli bacteria, adenoviruses, noroviruses, Staphylococcus aureus, many nosocomial germs, coronaviruses or influenza viruses) come into direct contact with the active antiviral and antibacterial effective coating of the screen protector for Siemens Simatic TP170, a so-called redox reaction is triggered. Oxygen molecules from the ambient air interact with the copper ions, integrated into the anti-viral and anti-bacterial active coating, and form extremely virulent active intermediate species that attack and deactivate the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely efficiently. The unprotected virus mRNA (RNA), or bacterial RNA, is also openly accessible and immediately deactivated. Many resistant pathogens, COVID-19, adenoviruses, Staphylococcus Aureus, influenza viruses, noroviruses and E. coli are effectively killed and are no longer contagious.

Long-lasting disinfecting reaction on the Siemens Simatic TP170 display

In this context, the active Cu ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II in the virus-killing effect. However, the active Cu ions are by no means consumed, but are again available for continuous surface disinfection. The antibacterial and antiviral layer has a reactive effect for up to a year and automatically destroys viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfecting reagents.

Transmission of an infection

Pathogens transmitted from person to person

If an infected person sneezes into their hand, the infectious pathogens stick to the palms of their hands. If the sick person then shakes hands with another person, the germs will be passed on. If this person now directs the contaminated hands to the mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for pathogens,this person can become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of pathogens via contact surfaces

Pathogenic viruses and bacteria can also stick to surfaces. It is not only healthcare facilities such as clinics, nursing homes and old people's homes that are exposed to the increased risk of Covid-19 infection. Pathogens can also persist on monitors of mobile payment systems, TV devices, snack machines, mobile phones, cash registers, tablets and POS kiosks.

Germs are passed on via the hands. We inevitably touch our faces with our fingers several times a day. In this way, pathogens from the contaminated surface of the Siemens Simatic TP170 pass unnoticed via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 viruses are transmitted in this way.

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