How long does it take for copper & brass to kill germs? 

According to a study published by the National Institute of Health bacteria, and viruses are rapidly killed on metallic copper. Some research has shown that copper kills certain viruses upon contact, a process referred to as “contact killing.”   

According to copper.org Copper, brass or bronze, begin neutralizing bacteria* immediately. In contrast, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, and other hard surfaces can harbor pathogens for 4-5 days or longer. 

How does copper kill germs?

The science beyond copper’s germ-killing powers is well documented and understood. When a virus or bacteria comes into contact with copper or copper alloy, it is flooded with copper ions, which penetrate microorganisms viruses like bullets and completely destroys them.

No. Kontact is intended to be used as a supplement to standard infection control practices to help slow the spread of illness, but it is not a substitute. Kontact users are responsible for maintaining all current standard infection control practices. 

Should I clean my Kontact?
