"Zhitong Road" - Let the antibacterial copper enter the lives of the people

Bacteriostatic copper is currently the only solid material registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for antibacterial activity. It is a collection of more than 350 kinds of copper and copper alloy products and materials registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency. Antibacterial copper can be used 24 hours a day. It inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and kills more than 99.9% of (special) bacteria on the surface within two hours, thus meeting the needs of different users for the antibacterial properties of public contact surfaces.

The “Antibacterial Copper Cu ⁺ ” brand was brought to China for the first time by the International Copper Association. The establishment of this antibacterial copper promotion alliance marks that the association, enterprises and well-known brands will join forces to promote “antibacterial copper Cu ⁺ ” The brand, dedicated to the promotion and application of antibacterial copper, will promote the level of infrastructure and sanitation in China's public health.

Let bacteriostatic copper enter the lives of the people

In addition to its electrical conductivity, copper itself has bacteriostatic properties, which means it can quickly and thoroughly kill bacteria and viruses that can cause disease through contact with infection. Bacteriostatic copper can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria 24 hours a day. , killing more than 99.9% of the (specific) bacteria on the surface within two hours. Many commonly used copper alloys, such as brass and bronze, also have this bacteriostatic property, and these materials are collectively referred to as "bacteriostatic copper." Bacteriostatic copper is the only solid material registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for bacteriostatic activity. More than 350 copper and copper alloy products and materials are currently registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency.

In China, the awareness, promotion and application of antibacterial copper have not been widely popularized. On September 19, during the “2012 Shanghai International Hardware Exhibition”, the International Copper Association and related associations and supply chain partners jointly initiated the establishment of antibacterial The Copper Promotion Alliance is committed to the application of antibacterial copper in medical equipment, furniture and accessories, and home appliances, thereby improving China's public health. In addition to public health facilities, in the future, decorative hardware, medical equipment, household air conditioners, washing machines and other home appliances are expected to popularize the use of antibacterial copper products, so that antibacterial copper will enter the homes and improve the public health.

About the International Association

The International Copper Association is the world's leading non-profit international organization that promotes and promotes the use of copper. There are 43 existing members, including the world's largest copper and copper smelting enterprises, and the largest 11 copper alloy processing enterprises, representing 80% of the world's refined copper production. Since 2005, it has absorbed three members from Yunnan Copper, Jinlong Copper Tube and Chinalco Luotong in China. There are offices in 35 countries and activities in more than 60 countries.

About bacteriostatic copper:

Bacteriostatic copper is a new category of copper that represents a collection of more than 350 copper and copper alloy products and materials registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency to meet the bacteriostatic needs of different users on public contact surfaces. Bacteriostatic copper is currently the only solid material registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its antibacterial activity. Bacteriostatic copper inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria 24 hours a day, killing more than 99.9% of the (specific) bacteria on the surface within two hours. At the same time, it can minimize the "secondary pollution" of the contact surface.  

About the antibacterial copper trademark

The bacteriostatic copper Cu ⁺ mark represents the product using the most effective public contact surface solid bacteriostatic material, copper, registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The logo is owned and promoted by the International Copper Association, which indicates that its products use a globally efficient antimicrobial contact material, bacteriostatic copper, which is used by major product manufacturers and copper processing plants. If a product carries this mark, it means that this product can continue to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
