Effectiveness

Cantol Seelect AM 256 kills, at 4mL/Liter (1 to 250) use level, Influenza A/Brazil Virus. Fungicidal control is achieved against the athlete’s foot fungus, trichophyton mentagrophytes, at 4mL/Liter (1 to 250) while effectively inhibiting the growth of mold and mildew and odors caused by them. At a dilution of 1mL/Liter of water (1 to 1000), Cantol Seelect AM 256 is an approved sanitiser. Cantol Seelect AM 256 is a true deodorizer that attacks and kills unpleasant odors at the source, leaves a clean, fresh, natural environment. Ideal for use in sensitive areas such as patient care, food and pharmaceutical plants. In one labor saving operation, Cantol Seelect AM 256 also removes soil, dirt and film from the surface and holds them in suspension until rinsed away. Cantol Seelect AM 256 is the one-step, concentrated, hospital-grade germicidal cleaner for all washable surfaces.
