The two standards are the Japanese JIS Z 2801 and its Western equivalent, ISO 22196. In these methods, treated test samples and untreated control samples are inoculated with the test virus. The test virus is held in place under a flexible coverslip and the samples exposed for 24 hours. Following exposure, the samples are neutralized, serial dilutions are performed of the neutralized solution and the dilutions are then assayed for viral infectivity by an assay method specific for the test virus. Appropriate virus, test substance cytotoxicity, and neutralization controls are run concurrently. Finally, the percent and log reduction in viral infectivity are calculated as compared to the corresponding virus control (Microchemlab.com).
Not only do the TouchPoint material pass with a confirming score of 2.0, it also achieves this score under both wet and dry conditions, while it maintains TUV Certified UV protection and fireproofing.

FAQs
According to Wikipedia, an antimicrobial is an agent that kills microorganisms and inhibit their growth. These microbes include bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful pathogens.
Our product uses the highest-grade heavy-duty urethane film embedded with silver ions. When these particles encounter microbes, they infiltrate the pathogen and interfere with its functions, including with its DNA replication. This kills the microbes that meet the film and prevents the growth of new harmful materials. TouchPoint is integrated with silver ions to protect the product and poses no health risk to people.
Silver has long proven its antimicrobial properties. It is used in medical devices for surgery, in materials for wound care, and in dozens of applications that require a weapon against prevalent mold, fungus, viruses and bacteria.
TouchPoint does not protect people against food borne or disease carrying bacteria or viruses. In other words, please wash your hands frequently and maintain good hygiene.
Silver ions have an oligodynamic effect where the microscopic ions kill microbes that interact with them. Pathogens are killed and are removed by the film upon contact.
Yes. Our product does not rely on any harmful toxins or chemicals. The film is made with safe, allergy-free silver ions inside of the polyurethane film. Silver has long been proven to have no harmful effects on humans, particularly for external contact.
Our product has a lifetime of two years compared to the industry average of three months.
The Society of Industrial Technology for Antimicrobial Articles and the Japan Industrial Standards, in accordance with the International Organization of Standardization, are international certifying groups that measure the antimicrobial properties of treated products. TouchPoint has been rigorously stress-tested for durability, reliability, and safety on a variety of surfaces over long periods of time. Our product has received international certification of the highest standards for being 99% effective against all microbes and for its durability in both wet and dry conditions.
Our product is tear, slip, scratch, scuff, and slide resistant. It is made of the highest-grade urethane resin film produced by 3M Japan. It’s pressure-based adhesive leaves no residue on removal. It is safe to clean with soapy water.
Our product easily applies onto any clean, smooth surface. After cleaning the desired application surface, you simply peel off the product backing and apply our pressure-adhesive film onto the surface. Apply pressure onto TouchPoint to make it stay on the surface. As needed, clean TouchPoint with soapy water. Cleaning TouchPoint with most disinfectants will not negatively impact the product
TouchPoint can be applied onto any hard, clean, smooth surface. That includes touchscreens, surface tops, bottles, buttons, handles, railing, doorknobs, and stationary, among others.
TouchPoint is made with EPA approved antimicrobial silver ions that protect the surface for two years.
In these times of heightened safety and hygiene, the Environmental Protection Agency is making sure that both our health and our environment are not compromised. Certified by international third parties and manufactured by 3M Japan, TouchPoint has your well being at heart. Antimicrobial treated articles such as TouchPoint are not intended to replace disease prevention actions you can take such as wearing a mask in public or washing your hands frequently.
