Microbial Control & Surface Protection

Copper’s antimicrobial capacity is nothing short of exceptional.

Copper prevent microbial insult, halt the generation of yeast and mold, and make the world safer and healthier. Copper remains effective across wide-ranging conditions, including in hot and humid environments. Copper is also the sole metal which is an antimicrobial agent and an essential micronutrient for humans and other living organisms.

Copper Technology is Effective Against:

Virus cells flowing on dark background

Viruses

Such as HIV, Influenza, Coronavirus 229E, COVID-19, and others.

bacteria

Bacteria

Including both gram-negative (E.g. E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae) and gram-posivitive (E.g. Seaphylococcus (MRSA), Enterococcus (VRE)) bacteria.

Beautifull texture of tinny plants on the water

Algae

Such as Gloeocapsa, a cyanobacteria (blue green algae)

Texture of mold and fungi, microbiology, abstract background

Fungi

Such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Canadida spp, and others.

mold spores

Spore Germination

Aspergillus niger and others

Multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria inside biofilm, computer illustration. A. baumannii is a Gram-negative, oxidase negative, aerobic, coccobacillus. It has always been naturally resistant to multiple antibiotics. It can be especially resistant to penicillin and chloramphenicol. It causes various nosocomial infections, including, skin and wound infections, pneumonia, meningitis, septicaemia, urinary tract infection and endocarditis. It is commonly found in soil, water, sewage, and normal skin and gastrointestinal tract flora. It is the most frequently encountered species in the clinical laboratory. Species found in soil can colonize root nodule systems and oxidize the hydrogen produced by nitrogen fixing bacteria. The illustration shows morphology of Acinetobacter such as short rods and sometimes long filamentous cells.

Biofilm Formation

Such as Streptococcus sanguis, and others.
