Nanoshield technology has been found to reduce transmission of viruses and bacteria, including SARS CoV-2, influenza, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus and norovirus, on high touch surfaces between regular cleanings, Nanoveu said in a press release.

Nanoshield is an EPA-registered active ingredient that embeds nontoxic copper particles at a nano-level in tapes, wipes and other applications. It is available in a polyethylene terephthalate or polyvinyl chloride antimicrobial film, which contains a substrate with a special resin layer that, along with the active copper component, attaches to bacteria and viruses, altering the way they work, damaging their proteins and nucleic acids, and disrupting the protective protein that surrounds them.

Nanoveu said in the release that independent research undertaken by Nestle Professional Services showed that Nanoshield film significantly reduced the amount of live SARS CoV-2 and that its self-disinfecting properties remained active under a variety of practical use cases including high frequency touching and daily cleaning.
