Now, we’ll explore how antimicrobial copper films work, where they can be used, and why they are a great option for keeping your Boston, MA area office or facility safe and clean!
How Does It Work?
When bacteria and viruses land on the copper surface by touching or sneezing, the copper surface springs into action. Here is the science between the four steps which take place:
- The bacteria lies on the surface of the film
- An ion of copper attacks the surface of bacteria
- The copper ion penetrates into the surface of a cell and protein
- Metabolic actions stop and the DNA/RNA are dismantled
