In the ten months since we first heard about Covid-2019, the pandemic has killed more than one million people and infected more than 60 million in 190 countries.
The number of infections is still on the rise, and there are very troubling signs of a new wave of epidemics is coming. Much about the virus remains unclear.
The virus that causes COVID-19 is spread primarily through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to be suspended in the air and can quickly fall on floors or other surfaces.
In healthcare, education, and the workplace, writing surfaces are an integral part of the environment.
Students and teachers must put their hands on the board at least once a day, they will taking home germs from the class, or leaving germs on the board from a weekend at a friend’s house.
Not only the school is a difficult environment to control the spread of disease, but the workplace can also be a breeding ground for germs.
Employees bring germs and illnesses into the office without knowing they are spreading to others and then use shared collaborative work tools and supplies, such as whiteboards in the office. if these surfaces are neglected and not disinfected regularly, the virus can spread quickly throughout the workplace.
Studies have shown that taking proper precautions can reduce the risk of cross-contamination by up to 70%. These measures include regular disinfection of hard surfaces and regular hand washing.
Just like hand washing, understanding the microbial characteristics of a whiteboard or blackboard surface, and implementing the best disinfection methods can go a long way toward preventing the spread of disease.
Today, we would like to introduce a product with antimicrobial properties – enamel whiteboards.
The surface material of the whiteboard is enameled steel.
The surface meets ISO 22196: 2011 which measures the antibacterial activity of a surface.
Lab tests performed by a 3rd party showed more than 99% reduction of tested bacteria in 24 hours.
Preliminary test results from the lab obtained a 99.9999% reduction for E. Coli and 99.999% reduction for S. Aureus (Staph).
What is the composition of enameled steel sheets?
It is a composite material of high quality steel plate and special functional inorganic non-metallic material.
Through the new electrostatic dry powder enamel coating process, and then into the high temperature environment sintering, high-quality steel plate and special function inorganic coating between the two to produce a solid chemical bond combination.
Enamel steel plate both has the characteristics of steel plate ,toughness, impact resistance, and also the characteristics of inorganic enamel layer ,super strong acid, alkali resistance, durability, wear resistance, non-flammable, easy to clean, beautiful and non-radiological.
Why we recommend the Enamel Whiteboard.
In fact, enamel wasn’t suddenly recognized as having antibacterial properties.
During more than a century of daily use it was discovered that food in enameled containers did not spoil easily.
As early as the 1980s and 1990s, international enamel experts conducted research and exploration, and the enamel products were mainly used in special areas such as hospital operating rooms and aseptic rooms, where the antibacterial requirements were very strict.
According to the “Hospital Clean Surgery Department Building Technical Specification (GB50333-2013)”, the building decoration of the surgery department should follow the general principles, no dust production, no dust accumulation, corrosion resistance, collision resistance, no cracking, moisture mildew resistance, easy cleaning, environmental protection, energy-saving, and fire protection. And the enamel Steel complies with these principles.
What is the principle of antimicrobial sterilization of enameled white board?
1.Antimicrobial
After melting at high temperatures, the enamel layer is smooth and dense with no pores at all, so particles such as dust cannot penetrate the interior ,serious stains such as mildew won’t occur.
Most importantly, the inorganic surface of enamel is used industrially in the inner lining of reactors in the chemical industry, proving that the enamel layer is impervious to the frequent use of cleaning agents and disinfectants in medical environments.
2.Sterilizability
Enamel layer which contains nearly half of the metal oxides, slowly releases silver ions, and trace amounts of silver ions have bactericidal properties.
Over time, these silver ions penetrate the cell and disrupt the respiration of the cellular membrane.
Silver ions attach to the microbe’s DNA and prevent it from achieving mitosis, effectively destroying its ability to reproduce.
Let’s talk about the other advantages of enameled steel.
(1) Super weather resistance: resistance to atmospheric pollution, resistance to ultraviolet rays, no fading.
(2) Corrosion resistance: acid resistance grade 1, salt water resistance without rust, alkali resistance without loss of light.
(3) Fire resistance: safety class A1 incombustibility.
(4) Easy to clean: smooth and delicate, easy to clean.
(5) Economical: 30 years of zero maintenance.
(6) Non-toxic and non-radiological: non-radiological, no fume evaporation, safe, non-toxic and harmless.
(7) High hardness: scratch resistant, abrasion resistant, Mohs hardness 6.
(8) Resistance to high temperature and freezing: -40℃ -100℃ , no deformation, no shedding, no cracking porcelain.
With all these benefits, Ceramic Steel surfaces can clean frequently even with abrasive or aggressive disinfectants. Since Ceramic Steel surfaces are not damaged by frequent cleaning, they can be disinfected on a daily basis in environments such as education, healthcare, and offices.
Pro tip: There may be a film-like residue on surfaces after use disinfectant. We recommend that you wash the surface with warm, soapy water after disinfectant, then rinse with water, finally use dry fabric to dry.
