FAQ
What is the difference between using alcohol-based products and Nanoshield for disinfecting surfaces?
Alcohol based and other similar spray disinfectants only cleanse the surface from existing viruses and bacteria. Viruses and bacteria can survive on these surfaces in between scheduled cleaning times.
Nanoshield is a self-disinfecting film that viruses and bacteria cannot survive on. Using Nanoshield is the equivalent of wiping a surface with disinfectant every 5 to 10 minutes.
How long does the film/spray coating last?
At least 6 months. As long as the antiviral layer is not tampered with or scratched off, viruses and bacteria will continue to be cleansed.
Is your product safe for use with pregnant mums, children, babies and pets?
Yes. Nanoshield has undergone rigorous oral toxicity, ocular and skin irritation, mutagenicity and cytotoxicity testing. Nanoshield is perfectly safe to touch.
Can your product eliminate 99.99% of the coronavirus, COVID-19?
We have successfully tested the product against two globally recognised surrogates of SARS-CoV-2 (responsible for COVID-19). That means we know two viruses from the same genus with essentially the same properties and structure to the SARS-CoV-2 cannot survive on Nanoshield.
What is the heat resistance of the film?
E.g. if I install the film on a dining table, will a hot dish affect its copper coating?
The film can withstand boiling water (100°C, 212°F) for up to 4 minutes.
How strong is the adhesive of the film? While removing, can it be easily taken off without damaging the surface?
We have two adhesive types: low strength for glass screens and high strength for timber and painted surfaces. Removability is dependent on the application, but neither should damage the surface.
How long can the product last? Does the copper coating lose its strength after time?
The antiviral effect will last for at least 6 months till over 12 months, without tampering or scratching off the antiviral resin.

WHY NANOSHIELD?
CONTINUOUS SELF-DISINFECTING POWER
Nanoshield is continuously disinfecting: within seconds viruses and bacteria begin being eliminated, and within minutes their numbers reach undetectable levels. Unlike traditional disinfectants where viruses and bacteria can thrive in between sanitation procedures, Nanoshield constantly fights these unwanted germs on your behalf. Applying Nanoshield can reduce the transmission of infectious diseases via common surfaces.
ANTIMICROBIAL TECHNOLOGY
Microbes, or microorganisms are tiny living things too small to see with the naked eye, such as viruses and bacteria.
Nanoshield is a range of antimicrobial film that eliminates both viruses (antiviral) and bacteria (antibacterial). Turn any surface or device into a death sentence for microbes.
PATENTED COPPER COMPOUND
Not all metals have equal antimicrobial performance. Copper has a unique electron structure that easily takes part in oxidation-reduction reactions. And Nanoshield isn't just standard copper. The oxidation state of copper can have a significant difference in antiviral activity. Nanoshield contains a patented copper compound which makes us the fastest at eliminating viruses and bacteria.
HOW NANOSHIELD WORKS
COPPER IONS
Nanoshield is a protective film with an antimicrobial coat which produces electrically charged copper ions. They attach to viruses and bacteria, altering their structure and stopping the way they work.
ROS
Nanoshield reacts with molecules produced by bacteria (H₂O₂, O₂ •–) to form a chemical substance called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). ROS damages both the proteins and nucleic acids in viruses and bacteria, providing both an antiviral and antibacterial effect.
DIRECT CONTACT
All viruses are surrounded by a protective protein layer that holds the infectious components inside. In order for viruses to spread, this layer needs to remain intact. Nanoshield copper particles are rapidly absorbed into this protein layer, bursting their protective wall.
