Frequently Asked Questions
IS TACTUS ELITE COATING NATURAL AND SAFE?
Yes, the coating contains pure and natural metals that are safe for humans and animals. The metals in the products are not known to cause allergic reactions.
WHAT IS THE EFFICACY OF TACTUS ELITE BASED ON?
Tactus Elite is a patented multi-metal hybrid alloy we have developed. The efficacy of the product is based on the antibacterial effects of pure metals, which have been recognized already thousands of years ago. However, these natural metals alone do not provide fast enough action against microbes. This is why we developed a hybrid alloy to make the most of the benefits of each different natural metal. This way, the efficacy of the product is achieved within seconds instead of minutes or hours!
HOW LONG DOES TACTUS ELITE PROTECT?
The best protection is provided by a Tactus Elite product that creates a uniform and intact coating on the surface. In this case, the virus elimination time is within seconds. When a red warning colour is exposed under the coating, the need to replace the product is approaching. Tactus Elite also provides effective protection when worn. Worn coating also eliminated viruses in less than a minute in laboratory tests.
HOW MANY CONTACT TOUCHES CAN TACTUS ELITE TAKE?
Shelf life of the product is affected by the installation site, utilization rate, humidity, temperature and other external conditions. At its best, the product can withstand hundreds of thousands of contacts! Mechanical stress, such as sharp or hard objects will wear the coating faster. Tactus Elite has been created as a very cost-effective safety coating solution. No wear was observed on the Tactus Elite tapes installed on public transport bus after 5 weeks.
WHY CAN THE COATING TARNISH BEFORE WEAR?
Tactus Elite coating contains pure and natural metals. Grease and dirt that come off hands can cause tarnishing of the coating surface. Tarnishing is common in metals such as silver spoons or copper pans. Tarnishing does not reduce the effectiveness of Tactus Elite! We have a cleaning agent for tarnishing, which can be found on our TDS.
