Aereus Technologies’ EPA-registered antimicrobial copper products are a highly versatile way to continuously fight bacteria*. Science suggests that antimicrobial copper surface contact kills bacteria* with a multi-faceted attack. Its thin, durable copper alloy layer can be applied to almost any solid surface.
How Copper Kills Bacteria
A
Copper ions on the surface are recognized
as an essential nutrient, and enter the cell
B
A lethal dose of copper ions interfers with
normal cell functions and membrane integrity
C
Copper ions impede cell respiration/metabolism, sometimes causing DNA damage
