Transparent protective shield with a scientifically tested aerosol-protective edge

Infectious viral diseases, such as COVID-19 or the flu, are transmitted in various ways. During a pandemic, the mobile TAC V+ high-performance air purifiers provide a high level of protection against airborne infections caused by virus-laden aerosols; the unique acrylic glass protective screens with aerosol-blocking edges reduce the risk of direct infection from larger droplets and smaller aerosol particles. This applies when people are talking, studying, or working in an enclosed space and cannot maintain a minimum distance of 1.50 m. For example, in a classroom, office, doctor’s office, or retail setting.

Two-way protection against flying droplets and airborne aerosols

Unlike conventional “sneeze guards,” which provide protection only when speaking, from larger droplets expelled when speaking, sneezing, or coughing, transparent acrylic panels with aerosol-protective edges prevent tiny aerosols from penetrating the protective screen even during the closest contact. Acrylic panels with aerosol-protective edges shield the person sitting next to you—or the person sitting or standing across from you—from droplet transmission. In addition, the perimeter protective edge prevents the uncontrolled spread of aerosol particles in other directions. Particles potentially carrying the virus are reliably trapped behind the screen and mix with the air before being removed by the room air purifier.

Acrylic sheets with an aerosol-resistant edge are recommended for use:

• in schools—between students sitting next to each other and behind the teacher’s desk
• at universities—between student seats in lecture halls or seminar rooms
• in offices—for people working together or at desks facing each other
• in workshops or production halls—among mechanics or production workers lined up along the workbenches
• in stores or pharmacies, on sales counters, at cash registers
• at the customer service counters of banks, insurance companies, or government agencies
• between the receptionist and the patient in the waiting room or the doctor’s office
• both at the hotel front desk when checking in guests and in the spa and wellness areas

When combined with the high-performance TAC V+ air purifier or other suitable room air purifiers, it provides unique, all-around protection for everyone inside the room, who interact with one another while sitting or standing side by side—without having to wear masks or maintain large distances. (However, the measures set forth in the local hygiene plan take precedence.)

More protection with all-around aerosol protection

Whether in a classroom, an open-plan office, an administrative office, a doctor’s office, or a retail store—when wearing a face mask, aerosols are mostly expelled forward and to the sides, but they always rise upward due to convection and, over time, will eventually reach even high walls without any effort.

How it works: Trotec protective screen, with circumferential aerosol protection

The rim surrounding the Troteci protective screen ensures that when speaking, coughing, or sneezing, the aerosol particles projected toward the acrylic glass panel are deflected toward the protective wall and flow radially outward toward the edge, where they are deflected again. The pressure difference at the edge creates a vortex that traps aerosol particles in that area. The protective edge also reliably prevents thermal buoyancy. People sitting nearby are much better protected from invisible aerosol particles.

Less protection without a circular aerosol barrier

Transparent protective panels are not new. Even before the pandemic, these cutouts were in use in food retail. However, they were used only as so-called “sneeze guards,” not as effective protection against aerosols.

How it works: The protective barrier currently on sale does NOT have a circular aerosol protective rim

In the case of acrylic sheets without a border, aerosol particles continue to flow radially unimpeded along the edges of the protective barrier and spread over a large area, even behind the acrylic sheet. As a result, clouds of aerosol particles can enter the breathing zone of people located nearby or at a greater distance.

Conclusion: Only protective walls with edges designed to contain aerosols deflect the flow of aerosol particles and thus prevent aerosols from passing through the protective wall.

For offices, call centers, and workspaces: a protective barrier that provides aerosol protection throughout

Communication in everyday office life is just as important as personal interaction with clients on an equal footing. Trotec has therefore also developed a protective acrylic partition with a perimeter aerosol barrier for smaller offices, open-plan offices, call centers, consultation settings, and reception desks. The protective screen separates people sitting or standing across from or next to each other, and when used in conjunction with mobile air purifiers, it improves protection against contamination for all employees.

Enhanced direct protection against infection thanks to the aerosol’s all-around protective rim

Thanks to the protective barrier, people sitting across from each other are better protected against direct transmission resulting from breathing, talking, coughing, or sneezing than they would be with just a face covering, surgical masks, or everyday masks. The all-around aerosol protection edge of the panel ensures that aerosol particles emitted by people do not simply drift around the protective barrier to a neighbor or flow directly into the room. This aerosol protection flange is scientifically recommended and is available exclusively from Trotec (registered as “Community Registered Design EU Design No. 008182745”). The protective screen can be mounted in a vertical or horizontal orientation—quickly, easily, and securely—using two metal clamps.

Additional protection against direct transmission—even without masks and with minimal social distancing *

Offer your employees additional protection against direct infection—even without a mask. When used in conjunction with mobile, high-performance air purifiers, the acrylic protective screen with an aerosol barrier provides optimal protection for people sitting across from you.

Rented commercial space is expensive! For this reason, every square meter of space is often utilized in office settings, so that *maintaining a minimum distance of 1.5 meters is not always possible. In such spatial conditions, a protective screen with an aerosol protection flap provides a high level of protection for employees at multiple workstations. The Trotec protective screen with a circular aerosol protection flap swirls and concentrates the aerosol particles expelled by employees directly at the workstation. The aerosol containment barrier prevents aerosols from mixing until they are removed from the air by a suitable room air purifier.

The German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommends using a protective screen in the workplace

On August 20, 2020, the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health published a new SARS-CoV-2 occupational safety regulation. The regulation sets out measures for all sectors of the economy to reduce and keep the risk of infection among employees at a low level. The use of transparent protective screens is explicitly recommended! The Trotec protective screen with a circular aerosol protection edge meets all technical requirements of this guideline.
