Features

• Used in water based surface treatments and coatings
• Microbiostatic agent that protects articles from deterioration and discoloration
• Leach resistant
• Active against forms of fungi, algae, and bacteria
• High antimicrobial performance in ISO and ASTM testing
• Does not promote development of resistant microorganisms
• Incompatible with anionic detergents
• Typical use concentrations of 0.25-0.5 wt% active relative to the substrate being treated

Product Highlights

Superior technology binds to surface, destroys microbes on contact by physically rupturing cell membranes

• Provides long-lasting antimicrobial protection
• Does not allow microbes to adapt to become resistant.
• Conditions surfaces for thorough disinfection and sanitization 

Protect surfaces from colonization of odor and stain causing microorganisms

• Efficacy verified by independent labs according to ASTM E2149, JIS Z 2801, and ISO 22196 standards
• Clinical testing in hospitals showed that a single application helps keep high touch surfaces hygienically clean for 5 weeks when incorporated into standard cleaning protocol.

Compelling safety profile demonstrated by acute toxicity, biocompatibility, HRIPT, and mutagenicity studies

• Water-based, no residual methanol
• Non-toxic / non-irritating
• Non-leaching

Easy to apply by spraying, wiping, soaking, or dipping

• Apply to clean surfaces and allow to dry
• Re-apply once per month on high touch surfaces
• Compatible with all common surfaces and cleaning agents to except anionic detergents
