Contagious viral diseases such as COVID-19 or influenza are transmitted via different infection routes. While in times of a pandemic 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 shields with an aerosol protective edge reduce the direct risk of infection from larger droplets and smaller aerosol particles. Whenever people talk, learn or work together in a confined space and a minimum distance of 1.50 m cannot be maintained. For instance in the classroom, in the office, in a medical practice or in a retail store.

Two-sided protection against flying droplets and suspended aerosols

Unlike conventional “sneeze guards”, which only protect against larger droplets emitted when speaking, sneezing or coughing, the transparent acrylic glass panels with aerosol protective edge prevent tiny aerosols from overcoming the protective screen, even in case of close contact. Thus, the acrylic glass panels with aerosol protective edge offer protection against a droplet infection by the person sitting next to you or a person sitting or standing opposite. Furthermore, the all-round protective edge prevents an uncontrolled spread of the aerosol particles in other directions. Particles potentially carrying viruses remain behind the screen and mix with the air before being removed by a room air cleaner.

The acrylic glass panels with aerosol protective edge are suitable for the use:

• in schools – between pupils sitting next to each other and on the teacher’s desk
• in universities – between the students’ seats in the lecture hall or in seminar rooms
• in offices – between people working together or for workplaces opposite each other
• in workshops or production halls – between mechanics or production workers lined up at a workbench
• at sales counters, cash desks and at goods collection points in shops or pharmacies
• at customer counters at banks, insurance companies or public authorities
• between receptionist and customers at the reception or in a medical practice
• at the hotel reception at guest check-in as well as in spa and wellness areas

In combination with the high-performance air purifier TAC V+ or other suitable room air cleaners, a unique all-round protection can thus be realized for all persons in a room who interact with each other sitting or standing next to or opposite each other. Without the need to wear a mask or maintain larger distances. (However, the measures prescribed in the local hygiene concept apply with priority.)

Protect yourself, your employees and customers from the very first contact with a stable countertop with all-round aerosol protective edge. The protective screen of high-quality acrylic glass exclusively made by Trotec ensures a high level of protection against larger droplets and small aerosols in personal customer contact.

The countertops available in three sizes are suitable for:

• Hotels (check-in, check-out, concierge service, spa, wellness)
• Medical practices (patient reception and appointment scheduling)
• Banks and insurance companies (customer counters, consulting rooms)
• Authorities (citizen information, advice centres, approvals)
• Law firms and notaries' offices (client reception)
• Sales/service (advice, cash desk, goods issue)

Such reception, consultation or counter areas are often the first point of contact for clients, patients and people who need information. This is where they are greeted, advised or served – and where the risk of infection by droplets and airborne aerosol particles is correspondingly high for the staff.

Crystal-clearly superior to conventional hygienic barriers

The Trotec protective screen with all-round aerosol protective edge swirls the aerosol particles and concentrates them in the area of the person emitting them. In comparison, with a protective screen without an edge, the aerosol particles spread unhindered and also reach the other side of the partition.
