Copper kills more than 99.9% of infection causing bacteria within 2 hours
Antimicrobial copper is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as being able to kill greater than 99.9% of infection causing bacteria within 2 hours of exposure.
Simulated fingertip touch contamination of Coronavirus 229E on stainless steel, copper and brass (copper alloy).
Copper is proven to kill:
- Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE)
- Enterobacter aerogenes
- Escherichia coli O157:H7
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV)
- Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS)
- Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS)
- Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)
And that's not all...

Shows dirt |
| Stainless steel appears clean when it is dirty - surely that is troublesome. Copper, meanwhile, is criticised for tarnishing over time and for visibly showing dirt. We believe this is a positive, not a negative. Using our Copper Cleaning Disinfectant, clients can ensure that their touch surfaces will appear clean when they are indeed clean. | |

Long lasting |
| “It can be approximated that in 2006 there were about 720,000 hospital-acquired infections in the United States, causing $125 billion in extra hospital charges.” | |
|
Low maintenance |
| “Copper and copper alloys have been used by humans for thousands of years, yet no bacteria fully resistant to [copper] contact killing have been discovered.” | |
