With Nanovia Flex VX create virucidal flexible pieces with choch absorbing properties. Specially made with additive fabrication in mind, this filaments is suited for the limitation of biological contaminantes spread, certified ISO 21702:2019.

Nanovia Flex VX virucidal properties allow for the elimination of 95,3% the H1N1 virus, after a contact time of only 1 hour, and close to 100% after 4 hours.

Usage :

With its powerfull and without any dangers to touch, Nanovia Flex VX is suited for the creation of flexible daily use objects :

Handles and flexible handle covers
Antibacterian orthopedic soles
Touch pads
Covering of computer equipment

Virucide properties

efficacité virucide nanovia flex vx virus H1N1

The virucide test has been conducted according to theISO 21702 norm by an independent laboratory in normalized conditions, on a FFF 3D printed test samples using H1H1 Influenza virus

Advantages

Certified Virucide norm ISO 21702 on influenza H1N1 (the H1N1 is a shell virus similar to COVID19)
No risk on contact
Auto decontamination/ prevents the formation of a biofilm
Easy to print
Food safe
Long term efficiency

Other formats

The Nanovia VX product range is composed of 2 types of 3D filaments, developed to limit the spread of infectious viruses:

PLA VX : print daily use objects with ease
Flex VX: flexible filament, shock and distortion absorbing (soles.…)

These 2 formulas are also available in pellet form for plastic injection.

Application recommendations

Storage

Store in airtight container with desiccant, out of direct sunlight.
Dehydrate for 4h at 60°C prior to printing after prolonged exposure to humidity.

Post traitement

It is not possible to sand Nanovia Flex VX

Health and safety

Post treatment

Do not apply any paint or coating on pieces printed using Nanovia Flex VX, in order to conserve its virucide properties.

Use biocide products with precaution

FAQ:

Is Nanovia VX certified efficiant avainst the Covid-19 Virus?

Up to today there is no existing ISO validated norm proving the action against the Covid-19 virus. However, the Covid-19 is structured (corona virus) in the same family as the H1N1 virus.

Is its protection longlasting ?

Yes, the active charge of Nanovia VX is present throughout all of the material, allowing the surface to maintain its virucidal properties. It is important to make sure that the surface does not get covered to ensure its efficiency.

Can printed parts be covered by another product (paints, varnish, etc…) ?

No, it’s imperative to keep the surface of the printed parts such as, they cannot be covered with paint or varnish. In order to be efficient the material need to be in direct contact with the pathogen.

Is it really efficiant?

The biological test has been performed within the ISO 21702 norm by a certified independent laboratory on a 3D FFF printed test sample. Nanovia VX virucidal properties conform to the European norms.

How do Nanovia VX virucidal properties work ?

The biocidal active, with a complex copper and silver base, has been specially formulated to be incorporated in the Nanovia VX range. Our patented formulation allows for the presence of the decontamination agent throughout the printed parts and its stability over time.

The active virucidal agent causes a degradation of the virus’ wall by catalysis.
