Copper Cover

Last week we upgraded the handles at Bombay Central restaurant in Harrow with our self-disinfecting copper coatings.

The handles match the restaurant too! People in India have used copper jugs for centuries to naturally sterilise disinfect water.

We were delighted to invite Steve Baker, MP for Wycombe, to our offices on Friday. We showed him the process we use to make surfaces self-disinfecting.

It was great to meet Steve Baker today to discuss how our self-disinfecting surfaces can help to protect people in offices, hospitals, public transport, and other areas.

Today, I discovered Copper Cover in Wycombe, whose copper coatings on surfaces like handles and grab rails destroy bacteria, viruses and fungi to create self-disinfecting fixtures

We are delighted to announce that we have entered into a strategic partnership with Care Shop, Deliver Net - Specialist Care Home Supplier, Delivering Nationwide, and Delivered Health Solutions.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has illustrated so clearly the need to improve infection prevention. The effect of the pandemic has been particularly dire on the elderly population, who in ordinary years were already plagued by Influenza, Norovirus, gastroenteritis, MRSA, and many others.

The Care Shop group share our ambition of using innovative technology to save lives, and we are looking forward to working together to make a major impact in the care sector in the coming months.

Copper is the way forward! "Products made from copper alloys can form a wide range of durable surfaces, including doorknobs, handrails, desktops and much more. [....and can provide] 24/7 effectiveness as opposed to conventional disinfectants that only work upon application.

Results showed that certain copper alloys continuously kill >99.9% of several viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 and Rhinovirus, within 2 hours of contact."

Research from The Institute for Employment Studies has shown that employee sicknesses can cost employers £465 - £2,261 per employee per year.

80% of infectious diseases can spread by touch, and so installing copper on surfaces can save businesses thousands of pounds. We’ve got you covered.

80% of all infectious diseases can spread by touch. MRSA, E. Coli, coronaviruses, influenza viruses, and norovirus are just a few of the many infectious agents that can be transmitted on surfaces.

Copper surfaces destroy infectious agents before they get the chance to infect. We’ve got you covered.

Copper kills harmful bacteria using two main mechanisms:

1. Causing pin-holing of the bacterial cell wall, causing cell contents to leak out
2. Pulling weakly-bound hydrogen atoms from the cells’ DNA, causing near-instant bacterial death

Safe for humans, not safe for diseases – we've got you covered.

How does our technology work?

Developed and patented in thruster rocket nozzle research, our technology allows us to cold spray anti-microbial copper directly onto your fittings and fixtures, such as door handles, light switches, etc.

We feed powdered copper into a supersonic stream of warmed air which causes copper particles to deform and embed on impact, building up dense coatings on the target surface. The copper coating is bound to the surface as strong as a weld.

Our self-disinfecting surfaces are guaranteed for a minimum of 5 years.

There are 3 main characteristics make copper a highly effective touch surface material:

1. It continuously kills bacteria:

- Efficacy as an antimicrobial is proven far more effective than stainless steel
- Proven to continuously kill the bacteria that cause infections
- The only solid metal antimicrobial touch surfaces registered by EPA

2. It's long-lasting:

- Continuous and ongoing antimicrobial action
- Remains effective even after repeated wet & dry abrasion and re-contamination
- Natural tarnishing does not impair efficacy

3. It's safe to use:

- Not harmful to people or the environment
- Inherently antimicrobial, no chemicals added
- Completely recyclable

We are excited to announce the launch of Copper Cover, which uses antimicrobial copper coatings technology that reduces the spread of infectious disease, including COVID-19.

Our copper technology has potent antimicrobial properties. It's founded on thruster rocket nozzle research which allows us to cold spray powdered elemental copper directly onto existing fixtures and fittings.

It only takes a few minutes to apply, it lasts at least 5 years and is proven to eliminate SARS-CoV-2 virus RNA in under 1 minute.

In addition to Covid, it is effective against many antibiotic resistant bacteria and viruses.
