Copper against viruses - Shieldex® copper tape

Shieldex® copper tape - protection for door handles and grip surfaces against viruses - antiviral, antibacterial

 english: Shieldex® Antiviral Copper-Tape

Due to the current situation, we are all required to comply with stricter hygiene measures and to reconsider everyday actions such as operating a door handle, a window handle or pushing a shopping cart. 

Wearing gloves only helps to a limited extent in these cases, as the following also applies here: if you touch a surface with viruses on it and then touch your face, these viruses can be transmitted.

In a American study*various surfaces were tested for the half-life of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Among other things, it was found that the virus can survive for several days on surfaces such as stainless steel or plastic.

In contrast, the number of pathogens on copper decreases exponentially and acutely.

International studies have repeatedly shown that copper has antiviral, antibacterial and fungicidal properties, as it shortens the half-life of viruses, bacteria and fungi.*

A study carried out on behalf of the US government has shown that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is also inactivated by copper within a very short time.* 

CMC Klebetechnik supports Statex in the production of the newly developed product Shieldex® copper tape , which is highly effective and able to render bacteria, viruses and fungi harmless in a very short time.

These copper tapes fit all standardized doors and help to protect the health of employees, customers and families.

Reduce the risk of virus transmission thanks to the antiviral properties of Shieldex® copper tape.

The latest laboratory results also independently confirm the effectiveness of the Shieldex® copper tape. The Eurovir® hygiene laboratory was able to prove that TGEV coronaviruses on the tape are 99.98% inactivated after just 60 minutes. In addition, a further virus test was carried out in the Eurovir laboratory for bovine coronaviruses. This test showed that no residual virus was detectable after the shortest possible test period of 7 minutes (corresponds to a virus inactivation rate of more than 99.99%). The bovine coronavirus is a beta-coronavirus, which also includes SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2. The renowned Hohenstein Institute also confirms the significant virucidal and strong antibacterial effectiveness of our Shieldex® copper tape.*

With this product, we want to support the hygiene measures of companies and public institutions, while at the same time increasing the safety of your employees, customers and even your own family.

Copper has been used for countless years in a wide variety of products due to its antibacterial, antiviral and fungicidal properties. We also encounter this precious metal every day in the form of coins or water pipes! The virucidal effect of copper has been proven in countless studies worldwide, so this can of course also be helpful for the current situation.

Compared to solid copper, our three-dimensionally copper-plated textile has a 7-fold higher ion release. This enables a detectable inactivation of 99.98% of corona viruses after just a few minutes.
