Anti-bacterial products like soap or some cleaning sprays and detergents destroy and prevent the short term development of bacteria.

Anti-microbial products, such as hand sanitisers, work on a broader spectrum of bacteria, fungi, parasites and some viruses.

This cleaning system however goes a step further by providing broad spectrum anti-microbial protection on surfaces or fabric for up to 90 days, including against the coronavirus.

The 90 day spray is an anti-microbial protection that supplements and supports your normal cleaning protocol raising hygiene standards to a new level.

A disinfecting clean, whilst effective for a short time, does not provide a more long lasting protection.

Surfaces are only clean at the point of cleaning. Once the disinfectant evaporates (as it is intended to do) the surfaces are again vulnerable to colonization by whatever bacteria and viruses land on it from touch or air particles and droplets. Consider, in the course of 24 hours the potential for such contact.

Using the 90 day spray along with your normal robust cleaning protocols brings added confidence.

90 day spray rests on the surfaces between cleaning and acts on the physical structure of a bacteria or virus by piercing the cell wall.

This non-migrating technology is based upon the application of a long lasting, durable coating that attaches to the surface for up to 90 days. The coating attracts, pierces, de-activates and electrocutes the bio-chemicals within each microbe, bacteria or virus, on contact. This includes the coronavirus.

It functions differently to the vast majority of antimicrobials that work by migrating (or leaching) from the surface they are applied to.

These conventional leaching types of anti-microbials, such as silver and copper, leave the surface and chemically enter or react with the micro-organism, acting as a poison.

These initially are effective, but they are used up and depleted in the process of working, washing and drying.

This depletion may be harmful in encouraging the micro-organism to mutate or become immune to the treatment.

Not only do they deplete but they also take time to do their job (up to 4 hours) and they are environmentally harmful.

This water-based technology forms an invisible, protective, layer delivering a unique antimicrobial barrier that kills bacteria and viruses immediately on contact, including the coronavirus, and a light spray offers long-term protection that is effective for up to 90 days.

It is safe for use on both fabrics and hard surfaces. With a light application, this spray-on or wipe-on treatment provides a protective layer by suppressing bacteria, viruses and mould whilst simultaneously enhancing the stain-resistant properties of the surface.

Extensive testing and verification lie at the foundation of the manufacturers claims.

Certificates demonstrating the speed, the efficacy and the safety of these products are readily available. Including demonstrable effectiveness against the Nora and Coronavirus.

Many antimicrobials are literally toxic. It has been tested to ISO 10993-5:2009 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity and proven non-toxic.

The manufacturer has conducted these tests to provide assurance that the final product is safe to use.

Not a chemical poison

More than 15 years in the market.

Mechanical deactivation

Does not induce microbial mutation or bioaccumulation.

Effective Quality Control

simple analytical and visible test is available to detect the presence of the anti-microbial.

Unmatched safety profile

Not harmful for human and environment, important toxicity data is available.

Odourless and colourless

How do we know? A soil test was conducted.

This is the most severe biological exposure for textile products. They took a piece of flame retardant curtain fabric treated with 90 day spray and a piece of competitor fabric with a conventional silver leaching antimicrobial and immersed them both into a warm, moist, live soil.

Imagine the burial of an antimicrobial fabric in a ‘live’ compost for 28 days at 30 degrees. This represented an intense acceleration of microbial activity over a significant period of time. There are billions of micro-organisms found in a gram of compost so the fabric is put under extreme duress.

Following this confinement, samples of the 90 day spray fabric and silver technology fabrics were sent to the laboratory for antimicrobial testing. Following heat sterilization, the fabrics were tested for antimicrobial activity against MRSA and E.coli.

Testing for non-leaching silver antimicrobials performed under dynamic contact conditions: ASTM E2149-10 and testing for leaching antimicrobials AATCC147:2004

Results

Conventional silver leaching technology results:

Parallel Steak Method AATCC 147:2004 for Leaching Antimicrobials

“The competitor’s test product showed no zone of inhibition when placed in contact with MRSA, Limited growth was observed underneath the fabric, indicating low level of antimicrobial protection” In other words, the antimicrobial had depleted over time and no longer afforded protection.

90 day spray results:

90 day spray gained a near perfect result. To quote the laboratory:

The product 90 day spray was determined to have antimicrobial activity against both MRSA and Ecoli. The test material produced 4.01 log reduction (99.99%) against MRSA and 99.98% (3.75 log) reduction against Ecoli.
