Size is 100mm x 80mm each International studies have repeatedly proven that copper has antiviral, antibacterial and fungicidal properties, as it shortens the half-life of viruses, bacteria and fungi. (1) A study commissioned by the US government has shown that copper also inactivates the SARS-CoV-2 virus. (2) Because of its positive properties, some hospitals also use door handles made of solid copper. (3) Independent laboratory research shows that our Shieldex Copper-Tape, due to our unique metallisation process, results in an average 7-times higher release of copper ions compared to solid copper.
