About iQx

iQx was recently invented and came from Europe with the only purpose to connect and combine the extraordinary, the innovative and the useful and with the ambition to “conquer” our country as well.

It is a long lasting antimicrobial coating that protects all surfaces for 12 months or 5.000 touches.
It works as a unique long lasting shield against 100 pathogens at least with 99.9% protection efficiency, it is highly durable, waterproof, invisible and the treated surface does not need disinfection with any chemical cleaner except with water.

Extensive laboratory tests proved very recently the iQx efficiency against SARS-CoV-2, so we consider it an additional means of fighting the virus.

Its mission is to provide a smart healthcare system and an innovative protection against microbial attacks. The invisible but highly effective coating of iQx creates a long lasting disinfectant and antimicrobial coverage.

The ultimate goal is to create safety, comfort and well-being without any effort.

Is is absolutely environmentally friendly as the innovative use of its ingredients prevents the use of chemical detergents after its application on the surfaces.

HOW IT WORKS

Product Qualities & Duration

All conventional antimicrobial products and disinfectants are absorbed by the living cells of viruses and bacteria resulting in their poisoning and killing. They are designed to move from any surface and dissolve quickly. Almost all disinfectants eliminate pathogens with limited range and effectiveness.

iQx technology follows a completely different and at the same time, absolutely unique approach.

Unlike traditional methods, the iQx formula of active ingredients binds silane molecules to any surface creating a transparent coating with antimicrobial properties. Nearby germs are attracted to positively charged layers with long molecular chains that penetrate their cell wall, breaking down their cell walls, killing the germs through a natural action.

The molecules are locked together and form well-distributed networks that all together form a thin film.

Through this process, the coating provides long-term control of microbial growth on the treated surfaces and its action lasts continuously for at least 12 months depending on the cleaning that will be applied to the surface.

WHY iQx

Consumer’s Health Protection with Respect to the Environment

iQx does not harm the environment as it cannot not be removed from the surfaces it covers.

After the application of the product it is not necessary to disinfect the surface with any kind of chemical cleaning product besides water.

Proven laboratory studies on the surfaces where the product has been applied, demonstrate continuous and long-term effective extermination of microorganisms up to 99.9% for at least one (1) year or 5.000 touches or dry cleaning cycles.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How the long-term action of the product has been proven?

Extensive laboratory tests in certified laboratories in Europe have proven the effectiveness of the product against viruses, bacteria and fungi on surfaces for 12 months or 5000 touches / cleaning cycles. The duration and effectiveness depend on the use of the surface, the cleaning method and products we use and on how often we clean it.

Is the surface to which the product has been applied safe when it comes in contact with the skin?

The product has absolutely no effect on the skin after the appropriate application time (6 hours). Extensive dermatological evaluations have shown that even after long-term or regular skin contact, there are absolutely no skin problems or discomforts. The product is completely safe for children and pets.

What is the difference between conventional disinfectants and iQx and what is its advantage over them?

Conventional disinfectants and antimicrobial products contain chemicals and solvents that basically rinse the surface, but their action is instantaneous and needs to be repeated daily. iQx formula of active ingredients binds silane molecules to any surface creating a transparent coating with antimicrobial properties. Nearby germs are attracted to positively charged layers with long molecular chains that penetrate their cell wall, breaking down their cell walls, killing the microbes through a natural action. Thanks to these unique properties, the surface does not need additional chemical treatment.

How we should clean the surface on which we have applied iQx?

iQx provides long-term disinfection and antimicrobial protection by eliminating all pathogenic viruses, bacteria and harmful microorganisms while preventing mold creation at the same time. Consequently, all you need to do is clean the surface with water and a towel and you no longer need to use additional chemical cleaners.

After how long we should repeat the application with iQx?

On the surfaces that we use very regularly e.g. car, telephones, keyboards and on domestic applications i.e. knobs, bathroom, floor etc., 10-12 months with 1 only application will provide you effective antimicrobial coverage. In places and on surfaces though with a high concentration of people, such as public vehicles, shopping malls and offices, elevators etc it is recommended to repeat the application after about 1-3 months. The coating will resist microbial attacks for 5000 touches.

How to apply the product correctly?

Always apply  iQx on a completely clean and dry surface. Always wear protective gloves and glasses. Then apply the coating and remove visible residues with a clean cloth (we recommend cloth with microfibers). Wait for the coating to dry completely for 3-6 hours at room temperature and do not touch the surface during these hours. After 24 hours of the application you can clean the surface only with water and a towel without using chemical detergents for a long time.

What is the effect of iQx against coronavirus SARS-CoV-2?

After many months of laboratory studies on the action of the product against SARS-CoV-2 virus (which causes COV-19 disease) since the first outburst, its effectiveness just recently has been proven. This action was added to its already confirmed one on the elimination of infectious diseases such as the SARS-CoV family viruses and H1N1 influenza type A and B.

iQx has been tested with Sars-Cov-2 and the Study has been conducted based on ISO 21702 standards by the university of Lisbon. To proof that the product is effective against other claimed microbes is done with a world wide accepted test executed by a Certified lab.​ The test that is executed to test the effectiveness of the coating is a ISO: 22196 certificate showing that the product is effective.
