Achilles Virusafe Tape Type is a tape that enables contact infection control simply by cutting, peeling, and applying. Its flexible film has been given antiviral and antibacterial properties that suppress the activity of viruses and bacteria. It uses raw materials whose high efficacy and safety have been confirmed in a range of evaluation tests, and it takes effect from the moment viruses or bacteria land on it.
■Functions / Properties
Antibacterial, antiviral
■Features
・Reduces adhering viruses by more than 99% in just 15 minutes
・Achilles Virusafe processed into tape form
・Skin safety confirmed. Highly safe materials are used, and safety has been confirmed in a range of tests.
■Antiviral Effect
It demonstrates roughly 96 times the speed of action required by the certification criteria for the "SIAA Antiviral Mark," a widely recognized antiviral standard.
*The SIAA Antiviral Mark certification criteria require a reduction of 99% or more within 24 hours. SIAA = antibacterial activity value of 2.0 or higher. SEK = antibacterial activity value of 3.0 or higher. Antiviral and antibacterial tape = antibacterial activity value of 6.0 or higher. The higher the value, the greater the effect.
■Effective Against Both Enveloped and Non-Enveloped Viruses
The SEK and SIAA Antiviral Marks can be obtained if efficacy is confirmed against either type of virus, which shows how high the performance of this antiviral and antibacterial tape is.
