The advantages of the Neoxum antiviral and antibacterial effective screen protectors: Protection for health and hygiene

The Problem: Germs on Touchscreens and Displays

Scientific studies have shown that touchscreens and displays are ideal surfaces for the accumulation of microorganisms. A study from 2012, published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology, demonstrated that smartphones can harbor up to ten times more bacteria than an average toilet seat. These microorganisms can easily be transferred to hands through touch and thus enter the human body. This is particularly problematic with pathogens such as influenza viruses, noroviruses, or multi-resistant bacteria (MRSA), which can cause severe illnesses.

Another risk is the transmission of germs in sensitive areas such as hospitals or care facilities. According to a study in the *American Journal of Infection Control*, contaminated equipment in medical facilities can play a significant role in nosocomial infections (hospital-acquired infections). These infections pose a serious threat, especially to immunocompromised patients.

The mode of action of the Neoxum screen protectors

The Neoxum antiviral and antibacterial effective screen protectors are based on an innovative technology that actively works against microorganisms. The surface of the films is coated with a special layer that functions on the basis of copper ions. Copper has been known for its antimicrobial properties since ancient times and is still used in medicine today, for example in contraception (IUD).

The copper ions in the coating interact with the cell membranes of bacteria and viruses, disrupting their metabolic processes. This causes the microorganisms to die or be unable to reproduce further.

Details on the mode of action

• Viruses have a protective layer that surrounds their infectious DNA-RNA. Nanoscale copper particles generate copper ions that attack these protective layers and expose the DNA-RNA for destruction.
• A chemical reaction between Cu ions and atmospheric oxygen leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species such as superoxides and hydroxyl radicals. The OH radical (completely harmless to humans) causes significant damage to viral proteins and viral DNA/RNA by removing electrons from surrounding species.
• Copper can release and absorb electrons by switching between the states Cu++ and Cu+. This redox behavior enables long-lasting effectiveness against viruses, bacteria, and pathogens without disinfectants.

Studies have shown that this technology eliminates up to 99.9% of germs on the display film surface within 30-45 minutes. Contact us!

A key advantage of this technology is its safety for humans. The concentration of copper ions is so low that they have no toxic effects on the human body. Additionally, the active copper species are not toxic per se and are embedded in a matrix. At the same time, the effectiveness against microorganisms is high enough to ensure effective protection.

Why Disinfectants Alone Are Not Enough

Many people rely on disinfectants to keep surfaces hygienically clean. However, this method has its limitations. On one hand, disinfectants must be applied regularly to ensure constant effectiveness. In practice, this is often neglected. On the other hand, disinfectants can damage sensitive equipment or leave residues that impair functionality. In particular, disinfectants, when used continuously over a long period, can attack casings and the display glass itself.

In addition, disinfectants only have a temporary effect. As soon as a surface is touched again, it can become contaminated once more. This is where Neoxum screen protectors come in: They provide long-lasting protection and continuously reduce the microbial load without the need for reapplication.

The advantages of Neoxum screen protectors in overview

1. Durable protection: The antimicrobial coating acts continuously and sustainably reduces the bacterial load.
2. Safety: The technology is harmless to humans and does not affect health or the functionality of the device.
3. Simple use: The foils are easy to apply and are compatible with a variety of devices.
4. Sustainability: Compared to disinfectants, the films reduce the consumption of chemical cleaning agents.
5. Cost efficiency: Through permanent protection, costs for additional cleaning measures can be saved.

Reduction of infection risk: A sensible step

Reducing the risk of infection is not only a matter of personal health but also a societal responsibility. Infectious diseases strain health systems worldwide and cause high costs due to treatment and work absences. According to a study by the World Health Organization (WHO), many infections could be avoided through simple preventive measures. The use of Neoxum screen protectors helps to contain the spread of pathogens – especially in areas with high germ exposure such as hospitals, care facilities, schools, or public transportation.

Areas of application for Neoxum screen protectors

The possible applications of the Neoxum antiviral and antibacterial screen protectors are diverse:

• Medical facilities: In hospitals and doctors' offices, the films can help reduce the risk of nosocomial infections.
• Pflegeheime: In Pflegeeinrichtungen schützen sie sowohl Bewohner als auch Pflegepersonal vor der Übertragung von Krankheitserregern.
• Educational institutions: In schools and universities, they minimize the risk of infections from shared devices such as tablets, interactive whiteboards, and info screens.
• Gastronomy and Retail: Self-service checkouts, mobile payment systems, or digital menus can be designed to be more hygienic.
• Public Transport: Passenger information systems and ticket machines remain hygienically safe thanks to the films.
• Companies and cafeterias: Coffee machines are frequently used and their touchscreen displays can be continuously disinfected.

Conclusion

The Neoxum antiviral and antibacterial screen protector is an effective solution for reducing germs on touchscreens and displays. They not only provide lasting protection against pathogens but also help to increase overall hygiene levels. In a time when hygiene and infection prevention are more important than ever, they represent a sensible investment—both for personal use and professional applications. By combining innovative technology, user-friendliness, and safety, Neoxum screen protectors set new standards in the field of hygiene prevention. They are a significant step towards healthier and safer use of digital devices in our daily lives.
