TintDepot has introduced an anti-virus clear silver film to protect surfaces which has a PS (pressure sensitive) adhesive. The description of the film is:
- Kills 99.9% viruses & bacteria
- Polyester based film that is coated with a silver powder
- Durability to kill viruses & bacteria is: 6 months
Anti-Bacteria Properties include:
- Test method: JIS Z 2801 – kills 99.9% of:
- Escherichia coli
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Klebsiella pneumoniae
- Salmonella Typhimurium
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Methicillin-resistant of Staphylococcus aureus
Ant-Virus Properties
- Test Method: ISO 21702 – kills 99.9% of:

Roll Size is: 15.7 ” x 16′ (metric: 400mm x 5m)
Anti-Virus Film description
Silver Anti-virus film (clear) is effective in killing bacteria and viruses including COVID 19. Silver is a proven material for deactivating bacteria and viruses. Therefore, this silver laminate reduces the ability of virus and bacteria being transmitted through a surface being touched or handled by one person and then another. The intended use of the anti-virus silver clear film are places where there has been exposure to bacteria and viruses. This laminate adheres to surfaces that may be exposed both directly and indirectly to bacteria & viruses.
Silver nanoparticles destroy epidermis of the virus and kill it (Ionic reaction).
Further expectations of the laminate include:
- Laminate is an additional measure to reduce the risk of cross contamination
- Laminate is an add-on product to apply to surfaces such as touch screens, counter tops, elevators, workstations, hand devices, and other touchable surfaces
- Laminate does not supersede regular instructions for cleaning & disinfecting of surfaces.
