Safe Touch Anti-Microbial Copper Laminate Film

Understanding the problem

• The coronavirus is caused by pathogenic organisms that cause a variety of symptoms and mutate as it infects people.
• Transmission reduction is the best way to minimize the spread of coronavirus

Principle behind the Antiviral effects of Copper
Anti-microbial copper acts as an inhibitor of the virus replication

How it works

• Bacteria recognizes the copper ion on the copper surface as an essential nutrient so the bacteria absorbs it into the cell.
• The absorbed copper ion penetrates the cell membrane so the cell loses significant nutrients and water.
• Copper ion pulls the active oxygen ROS(reactive oxygen species) through the penetrated hole of the cell membrane.
• The bacteria’s respiratory and metabolic activity is impeded, which leads to complete extinction.
  Note: Hands infected with germs can form a great environment for viruses to self replicate.

Antimicrobial activity of copper

• The coronavirus can live for hours to days on surfaces like countertops and doorknobs. How long it survives depends on the material the surface is made from.
• The coronavirus starts to deactivate in the copper surface within 10 minutes and copper completely destroys the body structure and genome of the virus within 4 hours

Characteristics & Common Applications

• Semi-permanent use.
• Everlasting antimicrobial effect
• Change film depending on damage or use
