Virus-Free Antimicrobial Handles | 99.99% Sterilization Effect with Copper Alloy Material
Did you know that a single door handle can infect up to 60% of people inside a building in just 4 hours? In fact, there have been reports of COVID-19 patients spreading the virus through daily-touched surfaces like door handles, leading to respiratory infections in others. Even with a small amount of virus, it can easily spread through contact with hands to the face, nose, and mouth.
Introducing the new YERIM product, YDL-850 from YERIM, a copper alloy handle that effectively kills 99.99% of super bacteria and Covid-19, preventing cross-contamination.
Reviving Copper Alloy as a Door Handle | Antimicrobial Copper
YERIM's antimicrobial handle contains familiar copper alloy, known for its antibacterial properties. Copper has been recognized for its antimicrobial and antiviral effects, dating back to the Joseon Dynasty when it was used in organic utensils. Preserving the wisdom, YERIM has created an antimicrobial handle containing copper alloy.
According to research by the Catholic University Medical School, door handles made of copper or organic materials kill microbes, demonstrating excellent effectiveness in preventing hospital infections. A study conducted in the UK compared the sterilization ability of copper, organic, and stainless metals against harmful bacteria, proving the outstanding germicidal effect of copper alloy (organic). Additionally, research in the UK showed that the human coronavirus survived for a minimum of 5 days on ceramic tiles, glass, and stainless surfaces but died within 30 minutes on 'antimicrobial copper' surfaces.

While viruses can survive for several days on ordinary surfaces, they are quickly destroyed on copper surfaces. The material used for antimicrobial handles is the only antimicrobial touch surface material registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), eliminating all harmful bacteria and super bacteria within 10 minutes. This not only prevents over 60% of bacterial proliferation and cross-contamination in places with high population flow but is already widely used overseas in government offices, hotels, hospitals, and subways in Canada, Japan, Europe, the US, Chile, as an alternative for infection prevention. Recently, copper alloy door handles developed in Korea have gained popularity and are being applied in government offices, hotels, hospitals, apartments, etc.

While antimicrobial films are commonly used, they are relatively easy to purchase and use, but it is difficult to expect continuous effectiveness. However, antimicrobial handles are permanent products that continue to show antimicrobial efficacy even if oxidized or contaminated.
