Songpa-gu Attaches 2,378 Elevator Button-Specific Antibacterial Filters Containing Guri Components

Support for All 185 Apartment Complexes in the Region

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) has provided antibacterial films on all elevators in multi-family housing complexes within the district to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Elevators in multi-family housing complexes are considered high-risk facilities for infectious disease outbreaks due to frequent cross-contact among residents. Although the district had deployed cleaners to each complex for partial disinfection and cleaning, it acknowledged limitations in continuous maintenance.

Accordingly, on the 12th and 13th, the district supplied antibacterial films to all multi-family housing complexes in the area, attaching them to a total of 2,378 elevators across 1,392 buildings in 185 complexes.

The film, containing copper components, is specially designed for elevator buttons and is known for its excellent antibacterial and antiviral effects. It is a patented product (Patent Application No. 10-1997000) and has undergone testing by FITI Testing & Research Institute (an internationally accredited testing and certification body).

In particular, the district explained that the antibacterial film can be easily applied to elevator buttons and has durability that ensures sustained effectiveness.

Han Ji-won, manager of the Jamsil 3-dong Lake Palace Apartment management office, said, “Due to the spread of COVID-19, residents had various demands for disinfection activities, but there were many difficulties due to circumstances. Attaching the antibacterial film supported by the district is expected to greatly help alleviate residents’ anxiety.”

Mayor Park Seong-su stated, “Songpa-gu has many large apartment complexes, so residents had significant concerns about using elevators. We will continue to focus on proactive disinfection activities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of our residents.”
