Our copper shields start killing viruses, bacteria, and new variants on contact
The Science Of Copper
This animation shows how quickly MRSA, an antibiotic resistant bacteria, is eliminated on a copper surface.
The Science of copper
Bacteria exposed to copper survive only for a few minutes before undergoing cell death. Copper was officially recognized by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the first effective metallic antimicrobial agent in 2008.

“
Copper alloys provide long-term effectiveness against viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Based on testing against harder-to-kill viruses, EPA expects these products to eliminate 99.9 percent of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Copper surfaces rapidly and efficiently kill bacteria. Cells suffered extensive membrane damage within minutes of exposure to dry copper. Further, cells removed from copper showed loss of cell integrity.

“
(SARS-CoV-2) was detectible up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel. The results provide key information about the stability of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19 disease, and suggests that people may acquire the virus through the air and after touching contaminated objects.

"Implementing increased disinfection was a burden of additional cost, copper disinfects itself 24/7 so we are disinfecting surfaces even when we're not physically wiping. We've saved time and money.
