Due to the current situation, we are all encouraged to adhere to higher hygienic measures and to rethink everyday tasks such as operating a door handle, a window handle or pushing the 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 and then almost into your face, these viruses can be transmitted.

International studies have repeatedly proven that copper has antiviral, antibacterial and fungicidal properties, which significantly shorten the survival time of viruses, bacteria and fungi.

A study commissioned by the US authorities recently showed that copper also inactivates the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a very short time. Due to its positive properties, some hospitals, for example, also use door handles made of solid copper. An independent laboratory test has shown that our Shieldex copper tape, due to our unique metallization process, leads to an average 7 times higher release of copper ions compared to solid copper.* 

Shieldex® Copper-Tape is a copper-plated polyamide fleece (refined with pure copper) with a self-adhesive foil on the back. It can be easily attached to door handles, window handles, shopping trolleys, elevator buttons, pin terminals or other potential germ sources. Various international studies have shown that copper’s antiviral, antibacterial and fungicidal properties can drastically reduce the half-life of viruses, bacteria and fungi.

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

The latest laboratory results also independently prove 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, another virus test was carried out in the Eurovir laboratory for bovine coronaviruses. In the course of this investigation it was found that after the shortest possible test period of 7 minutes, no residual virus was detectable (corresponds to a virus inactivation rate of more than 99.99%). The bovine coronavirus is one of the beta coronaviruses, 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 would like to support the hygiene measures of companies and public institutions, at the same time increase the safety for your employees, customers and also your own family.

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

Compared to solid copper, our three-dimensional copper-plated textile has a 7-fold higher ion release. After just a few minutes, this enables with corona viruses a demonstrable inactivation of 99.98%.
