Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nanoshield™?

Nanoshield™ is a self-disinfecting antimicrobial film, made by the world leader in its product class. Nanoshield™ has been applied to touch points and surfaces around the world. Our film uses a patented form copper with excellent antiviral activity to continuously keep surfaces free of viruses and bacteria.

 

Does Nanoshield™ kill 99.99% bacteria and viruses?

Yes. All Nanoshield™ products are manufactured using the same patented antimicrobial agent. We have tested numerous viruses and bacteria to ISO 21702 (antiviral) and ISO 22196 (antibacterial). To request specific lab reports, please contact us.

 

What is the difference between Nanoshield™ and using alcohol-based products to disinfect surfaces?

Alcohol-based and similar spray disinfectants only cleanse a surface of existing viruses and bacteria in that moment. Subsequently, viruses and bacteria can survive on these surfaces in between scheduled cleaning times.

Nanoshield™ acts as a surface that viruses and bacteria cannot survive on. Using Nanoshield™ is the equivalent of spraying and wiping a surface with disinfectant every 5 to 10 minutes.

 

If surfaces are already being disinfected every 15 minutes, why should I use Nanoshield™?

With Nanoshield™, viruses and bacteria start being eliminated from the moment of contact. A combination of Nanoshield™ and standard cleaning protocols can significantly reduce disease transmission in the community.

 

Is Nanoshield™ harmful to the skin? Is Nanoshield™ safe for pregnant moms, children, babies and pets?

Unlike hand sanitizers, Nanoshield™ does not have any harmful effects on your skin. Our film passed ISO 10993 for skin irritation and skin sensitivity. Nanoshield™ has been rigorously tested for oral toxicity, ocular and skin irritation, mutagenicity and cytotoxicity testing. Our film is perfectly safe to touch.

 

How long does Nanoshield™ last?

If the film is unscratched, damaged or modified, Nanoshield™'s self-disinfecting effect lasts up to 12 months. We suggest replacing the film every 6 months to ensure maximum efficacy.

 

Will the copper compound oxidize over time?

Unlike traditional copper, our patented copper compound resin does not oxidize and will not discolor over time.

 

What surfaces can Nanoshield™ be used on?

We have a range of Nanoshield™ products that are suitable for almost any surface that requires sanitation.

 

How strong is the adhesive of the film? Will removing it later damaged the surface?

Nanoshield™ comes in two adhesive types: low and high strength. Neither will damage the surface. Low strength adhesive is recommended for glass and touch screens. High strength adhesive is recommended for all other surfaces. We recommend using our high-strength acrylic adhesive (PVC range) for wooden surfaces.

 

Is Nanoshield™ heat and weather-resistant?

Nanoshield™ can withstand boiling water for 4 minutes (100°C) with no detriment to its antiviral resin.

For outdoor applications, we recommend Nanoshield™ All Weather, which has been weather-tested against ISO 4892-2 (light, temperature and humidity) to simulate 12 months of weather exposure.

 

Should I still clean Nanoshield™-protected surfaces?

Keeping Nanoshield™ surfaces free of dirt and grease helps preserve its antimicrobial effect. We recommend cleaning Nanoshield™ with non-abrasive cloths (e.g. micro fibre) at least once daily. Nanoshield™ is resistant to water-based detergents, alcohol and bleach. Avoid using abrasive cleaning utensils as they risk damaging the antiviral resin.
