Bend Fatigue (at room temperature)
The fatigue strength gives an indication about the resistance to variations in applied tension. It is measured under
symmetrical alternating load. The maximum bending load for 10
7
load cycles without crack is measured. Dependent on the
temper class it is approximately 1/3 of the tensile strength R

Sanitary and Antimicrobial Properties
© Marc Solioz. University of Bern
Copper has been recognised as a
hygienic material since the dawn of
civilisation and, in the last two centuries,
the anecdotal evidence has been
supported by scientific research showing
that copper is antimicrobial, i.e. it inhibits
the growth of harmful pathogens -
bacteria, moulds, algae, fungi and viruses.
Due to its high copper content of about
99% Cu-ETP provides the full
antimicrobial properties of copper to inhibit
the growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi
which are in contact for a short period of
time on copper containing surfaces.
Copper surfaces have sanitizing
properties and self-sanitizing activity that
make it attractive for hygienic and sanitary
use e.g. in hospitals, nursing homes and
other healthcare facilities or public
buildings. The effect has been verified in
recent scientific studies on a range of
disease-causing organisms including
MRSA, Clostridium difficile, E.coli, Listeria
monocytogenes, Influenza A (H1N1) and
Aspergillus niger .
