• Numerous invisible bacteria and viruses

  Touch panel operation terminals such as smart phones have become a necessity in our modern lives, and it is commonplace to touch them anytime, anywhere on a daily basis, but there are countless invisible bacteria and viruses on their operating surfaces.

• Our Lives Under Invisible Threat

  While touch panels of various types and sizes are used in various situations, such as train stations, shopping malls, manufacturing plants, and construction sites, they are touched by an unspecified number of people, so it has been required to reduce the risk of infection caused by touch panels.

• Ever-evolving technology and required tactile manipulation

  Although there are new technologies that keep people at a distance and non-contact operation methods that keep people at a distance, machine operation where malfunctions are not tolerated, such as in the medical field and industrial equipment, requires firm touch and input.

• Anti-Bacterial

  Inhibition of bacterial growth on the surface of the product
• Sterilization

  To kill or eliminate all microorganisms in the sterilized material
• Inactivation

  To kill harmful microorganisms, including pathogens
• Removing Bacteria

  To reduce the number of viable bacteria from an object
• Disinfection

  A treatment used to reduce the number of viable microorganisms, killing only those microorganisms that are harmful to humans or the target microorganisms of interest. It does not necessarily kill or eliminate all microorganisms.

• Reducing the number of specific viruses on products

  Having no cell, virus is just a structure and its size is about one thousandth of bacterium. Virus cannot replicate on its own and can be regarded as a matter. Therefore, it is necessary to decompose its structure and reduce its capability to get into a cell in order to inhibit a virus from replication.

• It attracts and adheres to the virus and does not let go

  Anti-viral agent (metal) with a positive charge will act on a virus with a negative charge. The virus and anti-viral agent will be attracted by the static electricity level, fixed, and cannot be separated. The antiviral agent will react with the moisture in the air.

• Suppressed by antiviral agents and reactive oxygen species

  The antiviral agent (metal) will react with the moisture in the air to generate active oxygen (OH radical). Because of the high oxidizing power of the active oxygen, it will denature proteins in the viruses. Thus it is expected to reduce number of viruses. * Not all kinds of bacteria and viruses are reduced.

• Overlay structure type (188μm) is available for customization

  Covers and attaches over the resistive touch screen. This makes it possible to embedded Antivirus and Antibacterial resistive touch screen with fully flat state.

• SIAA mark for antibacterial and antiviral certification

  FV series is certified by SIAA* (the Society of International sustaining growth for Antimicrobial Articles) for its anti-viral and anti-bacterial functions.

  * SIAA mark is displayed on products that are subject to quality control and information disclosure in accordance with the guidelines of the Society of International sustaining growth for Antimicrobial Articles, based on the results of evaluation in accordance with the ISO 21702 /ISO22196 method.

* The chemicals applied on the films of FV series are subject to Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR). Therefore, the product cannot be exported to Europe.
