How Does Actizone™ Antimicrobial Technology Work?

Formulators face a monumental task in developing multi-purpose disinfectant cleaners that are both effective against a range of microorganisms and appealing to consumers. From ensuring the proper level of disinfection, to providing thorough cleaning of different types of surfaces, formulators must utilize disinfection technology that is powerful and multifaceted to meet ever-evolving consumer expectations. With versatile and innovative ingredients, Actizone^TM technology helps formulators meet the complex requirements for today’s disinfection needs. Read below to learn how Actizone^TM antimicrobial technology works in long-lasting disinfectant cleaners.

Background on Actizone^TM Disinfectant Technology

Antimicrobial actives, such as quaternary ammonium compounds, are essential to effective surface disinfection and are widely used for quick-kill applications. Beyond disinfection, creating a disinfectant cleaner that provides long-lasting performance is even more challenging. Actizone^TM P5 is a key proprietary polymer ingredient designed to help antimicrobial actives deliver long-lasting antimicrobial efficacy. To quickly build effective disinfectant cleaners, formulators can now easily combine Actizone^TM P5 and antimicrobial actives, with Actizone^TM S5, an optimized ready-to-use mixture of different surfactants that ensure efficient cleaning on a variety of surfaces with different properties, including plastic, glass and metal.

Alternatively, formulators can simply use Actizone^TM F5 as the quickest path to commercialization. As a ready-to-use surface disinfectant cleaner formulation, Actizone^TM F5 is a mixture of all the necessary ingredients that are key to providing the consumer benefits that Actizone^TM is known for. Actizone^TM P5 and Actizone™ S5 technologies are composed of inert, non-biocidal ingredients that are registered with REACH, listed on the EPA inert list, and certified with other regulatory agencies to facilitate approval with known actives as desired by formulators. 

Actizone^TM Combines Fast-Kill Benefits and Long-Lasting Antimicrobial Performance

To offer optimal protection to consumers, both fast-kill of germs and long-lasting antimicrobial protection benefits are essential in today’s multi-purpose disinfectant cleaners. In use, Actizone^TM technology stores antimicrobial actives by producing a thin film with ideal cohesive properties on a variety of surfaces. Designed to rapidly respond to the presence of moisture, which is a typical indicator of a microbial contamination event, the Actizone^TM thin film allows fast-kill benefits by quickly releasing antimicrobial actives which attack and kill microorganisms within five minutes of contamination. Actizone^TM technology also helps antimicrobial actives deliver long-lasting surface disinfection benefits by keeping and releasing actives on surfaces sufficiently overtime to kill bacteria and viruses for a full 24 hours. The thin, durable film with Actizone^TM technology operates with an optimal balance to provide fast-acting germ kill and 24-hour surface protection due to the quats secured by the Actizone™ P5 polymer. 

Why Use Actizone^TM Technology in Surface Disinfection Solutions

Actizone^TM technology is designed to make each step of the production process easier for formulators and provide relevant benefits to consumers. For streamlined and versatile formulations, Actizone^TM products can be used with many different surfactants typically used for surface care to provide desired cleaning performance plus long-lasting surface disinfection. For optimal formulator and consumer benefits, Actizone^TM F5 is made to maximize disinfection and cleaning performance while minimizing the residue left on surfaces. With the minimalist design of Actizone^TM technology that retains actives on surfaces and activates with moisture, formulators can design cleaning products with proven fast-kill and long-lasting disinfectant benefits, which leave surfaces free of unwanted residue through repeated applications.

Additionally, Actizone^TM P5 and Actizone™ S5 products contain ingredients listed in the EPA inert list, and REACH registered when purchased from Syensqo in the EU, so formulators don’t have to struggle with regulatory challenges. With a global supply chain, these concentrated, easy-to-use ingredients can be introduced into a variety of formulations in different regulatory zones, including the European Union, the United States, Middle East, Asia and Latin America. By ensuring simple mixing properties, easily processable ingredients and compatibility with a range of fragrances and additives commonly used in surface care, Actizone^TM promotes improved formulation experiences. Actizone^TM technology balances the needs of formulators with the desires of consumers for a versatile and long-lasting antimicrobial solution that provides impressive cleaning and reliable surface disinfection.
