Cuverro

C u v e r r o ® | It kills 99.9% of harmful bacteria.
It is active throughout life.

CuVerro is a copper alloy antimicrobial metal with unique properties. This surface permanently kills 99.9% of harmful bacteria that come into contact with it. CuVerro is the latest innovation from Olin Brass, the world leader in copper-based alloys.

Every day we touch hundreds of surfaces contaminated with deadly bacteria, and cleaning alone is not enough to get rid of these pathogens. There is now a tool to help combat this threat.

Cuverro®|Bactericidal Copper Alummy

This metal, registered with the American Environmental Department EPA (Environmental Protect on Agency), kills 99.9% of bacteria, dramatically increasing environmental hygiene and is effective 24/7. CuVerro is the only EPA-registered metal that can make a public health claim.

CuVerro starts killing bacteria as soon as it comes into contact; The continuous antibacterial activity never goes away or goes away when washed. Unlike coatings and the like where bacteria grow slowly, CuVerro actively kills disease-causing bacteria.

80% OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES ARE TRANSMITTED THROUGH CONTACT!

Nosocomial infections in Europe

When examined, most of the deaths are caused by bacteria entering the body through hospital contact. In these hospital infections;

More than 4.1 million patients affected with a 7.1% overall prevalence rate
Up to 51% prevalence in intensive care units
Extra 16 million days spent in hospital € 7 billion direct costs
37,000 deaths directly due to nosocomial infections (HCAIs) 110,000 deaths were observed, with nosocomial infection being an influencing factor.

Cleaning these environments is not enough to fix the problem. On the contrary, the time elapsed between cleaning intervals leads to another problem. During this time, the bacteria recontaminate very quickly.
For this reason, we recommend you to use Cuverro®|Bactericidal Copper Alloy, which is 100% accurate in such environments!

Our Scientific Evidence

The public poll has been concluded in line with the “Accurate Laboratory Practices Test Protocols” to support the EPA registration of antimicrobial copper alloy:

As effective as a disinfectant: CuVerro” surfaces kill more than 99.9% of bacteria within two hours.
Abrasion Test: CuVerro's effectiveness does not wear out over time and prevents bacterial growth and growth between routine cleaning and disinfecting steps.
Yinelenen Kirlilik Testi: CuVerro” yüzeyleri,
yinelenen kirlenmeye rağmen günün 24 saat sürekli olarak bakterilerin %99.9’nu öldürür.

CuVerro surfaces kill 6 groups of infectious bacteria, including those that cause health-related infections (HAls). It is the only EPA-registered antibacterial metal.

CuVerro surfaces kill 6 groups of infectious bacteria, including those that cause health-related infections (HAls). It is the only EPA-registered antibacterial metal.

THE STRENGTH OF CuVerro AND ITS INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION

The Cu+ mark is the Copper Development Association (CDA) approval, which shows that CuVerro bacteria-killing copper surfaces are fully in compliance with EPA registration conditions. CDA, a copper-related commercial organization, stated that CuVerro's products comply with the registration requirements of the US EPA.

The use of the Cu + mark with CuVerro certifies that copper alloys sold for antimicrobial applications comply with the high quality standards set by the copper industry and the regulatory standards set by the EPA. This also supports the statement of Olin Brass and its processed product and component manufacturing companies that CuVerro” surfaces kill bacteria.

CuVerro users are accredited and certified to the system as proof that they use this product. CuVerro users also have the right to use this logo on their products with this certificate. This logo means the worldwide approval of the products made by the manufacturers with “CuVerro” that they are bactericidal.

WHAT DO THE PRODUCTS WE MANUFACTURE WITH THIS LOGO MEAN?

1) Indicates that products are supplied by suppliers that are EPA Registered and fully comply with EPA labeling and marketing requirements.
2) Indicates that the products comply with EPA content and purity levels.
3) EPA registered copper alloys sold as antimicrobial properties must have the UNS (Unified Numbering System) mark. Thus, it verifies that the alloys contain the necessary concentrations of active copper and other EPA-registered ingredients to be effective according to EPA testing protocols.
4) Free of VOCs, phthalates or PVC.
5) Lab tests confirm that when cleaned regularly, surface materials consistently reduce bacterial contamination and provide 99.9% bacteria reduction after two hours of use.
6) Confirms that it kills more than 99.9% of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria after two hours of use.
7) Confirms that it kills more than 99.9% of bacteria within two hours and continues to kill more than 99% of bacteria even after continued contamination.
8) Verifies that it meets EPA demands, such as helping to prevent the build-up and growth of bacteria during the two-hour exposure period between routine cleaning and disinfecting.
9) It certifies that it has not been treated with lacquers or coatings that will reduce its antimicrobial effectiveness.
10) It shows that it is 100% recyclable, produced from up to 100% recyclable material, and complies with EPA safety and environmental criteria.
11) Indicates that it is supplied from a CDA member firm (material supplier) with active EPA registration and fully compliant with EPA regulations and obligations.
