Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

AIRX 44 Plus combines highly effective quaternary ammonium compounds with modern synthetic detergents, emulsifiers, builders, water conditioners and Airicide™ odor counteractants in one product. It is an excellent cleaner though neutral in pH to avoid dulling high gloss floors. AIRX 44 Plus is qualified for hospital use by its effectiveness against a wide range of gram negative and gram positive bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, and MRSA. It is EPA registered to kill Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (AIDS virus) and it is recommended for ready availability as a pre-cleaner and disinfectant where there is a likelihood of contamination by blood or body fluids with the potential for transmission of HIV, HBV, HCV. AIRX 44 Plus is a super concentrate, and thus lends itself to convenient packaging, handling, storage and use.

Benefits
  1. Kills HIV 1 (AIDS Virus), HBV, HCV on pre-cleaned hard surfaces contaminated with blood or body fluids.
  2. Neutral pH - Especially formulated to avoid a film or dulling of high gloss floors.
  3. Deodorizing - Eliminates odors from mold, mildew and decomposition by killing putrefactive bacteria. Neutralizes odors from oxidation with special AIRX Odor Counteractants.
  4. Detergency - Superior wetting and detergency assures excellent cleaning. Cuts through soils that surround bacteria to assist the germicides in reaching the cell wall.
  5. Hard water tolerance - 100% amphoteric detergent base. Absence of soap results in highest tolerance to hard water of any type of disinfectant.
