Touchshield™ FAQs

FAQS

  • 1. What is TouchShield™?

    TouchShield™ is a self-adhesive, anti-bacterial and anti-viral protective film for surfaces. It is designed for flawless integration into any commercial, medical, retail or hospitality environment where the cross contamination of bacteria or viruses could occur.

  • 2. Is TouchShield™ orange?

    TouchShield™ is not orange. It is clear, watermarked anti-microbial protective film. Subtle enough to blend in, distingushable enough to trust.

  • 3. How does TouchShield™ work?

    TouchShield™ is coated by us at our UK manufacturing plant with a clever, anti-microbial coating. The coating includes silver-ion which are the active ingredient when it comes to destroying micro-organisms. Silver-ion is proven to inactivate envelope style viruses, similar to Coronavirus, through a charge-based interaction. Essentially, TouchShield™ is killing bacteria and viruses that come into contact with surfaces and preventing their deadly spread.

  • 4. How long does TouchShield™ last?

    TouchShield™ comes with an advisory in-use lifespan of 6 months pending usage. Important to note that the protective levels of TouchShield™ remain as effective throughout the lifespan of the product. The protection does not decline over time. The indicative lifespan of 6 months is relating to the adhesive to the surface itself. Generally, when the edges begin to lift or the product shows sign of wear and tear, it is time to replace.

  • 5. Is TouchShield™ certified?

    TouchShield™ has been put through its paces and tested to internationally recognised standards (ISO).

     

    ISO 22196 measures the activity of bacteria on surfaces of which TouchShield™ has been awarded protection levels of up to 99%.


    ISO 21702 measures the activity of viruses on surfaces of which Touchshield™ has been awarded protection levels of up to 93.41%.

     

    Bacteria and viruses are very different things, each acting and reacting in very different ways to preventative methods. It is therefore vital that we were able to assure ISO certifications against both at such high efficacies.

     

    You can trust our innovation, we have the certificates to prove it.

  • 6. Will TouchShield™ damage my surfaces?

    The adhesive for TouchShield™ is an aqueous removable acrylic. This adhesive has been designed to provide excellent adhesion to the surface whilst in use with the added benefit of excellent, clean, residue-free removability.

  • 7. Can TouchShield™ be cleaned?

    TouchShield™ is self-cleaning by nature so it is not recommended that industrial chemicals or disinfectants are used as this could damage the product. A mild detergent or soapy water is all that we would recommend to clean surfaces once TouchShield™ has been applie
