Why Do We Need Longer-Lasting Antimicrobial Disinfectant Solutions?
Highly effective and long-lasting antimicrobial solutions have never been so important. Consumers everywhere are becoming increasingly invested in keeping their homes, offices and public spaces clean. Although some traditional disinfectants provide benefits like the quick kill of germs already on the surface, long-lasting disinfectant cleaners deliver continuous germ protection over time as required by today’s changing microbial risk environments. Syensqo’s ActizoneTM offers long-lasting surface disinfection that kills over 99.9% of germs for up to 24 hours on a wide variety of surfaces. Learn more about why consumers need longer-lasting antimicrobial disinfectant solutions and how ActizoneTM delivers these benefits.
Consumer Behavior
As consumers’ lives become busier, there is less free time to clean the house multiple times every day, and many consumers may not take the time to follow cleaning instructions. Similarly, professional demands mean more children are in daycares or public childcare areas where they can contract or become the vectors of disease. To provide exceptional and durable germ protection, consumers are turning to 24-hour antimicrobial solutions that constantly kill germs, which eliminate the need for multiple cleanings each day. In more public spaces, like schools or offices, a long-lasting antimicrobial formulation can promote confidence in the safety of surfaces, even if all individuals are not regularly washing hands or wearing masks. ActizoneTM technology allows consumers to apply a disinfectant solution only once per day and experience reliable germ protection for 24 hours, even after recontamination.
Evolving Microorganisms
In addition to changing consumers’ behaviors, microorganisms continue to evolve as well. With the increasing use of antibiotics and antimicrobial products, many germs have gained an increased resistance to products that were once able to kill them. Traditional household disinfectants that are ineffective after a few minutes or not used correctly can leave bacteria and viruses alive and help them evolve to become more dangerous and harder to kill in the future. Longer-lasting antimicrobial products that completely kill microorganisms rather than just causing damage may help prevent continuing resistance development. ActizoneTM technology continues to kill a broad spectrum of germs continually for up to 24 hours after application when used correctly. An effective, long-lasting antimicrobial solution like ActizoneTM F5 has a greatly increased ability to completely destroy microorganisms over time before they replicate and gain resistance.
Reliable Safety & Reduced Risk
Across the globe, aging populations with pre-existing conditions are searching for reliable ways to ensure germ protection in their homes and public spaces. Disinfectant coatings cannot guarantee reliable safety if it takes multiple hours to kill microorganisms because consumers can touch an infected surface and be exposed to germs before the biocide in the coating starts to work. Additionally, many disinfectant cleaners are ineffective after a few minutes due to evaporation, decomposition or they wipe off easily, or they are not used according to the directions. Truly effective 24-hour antimicrobial solutions like ActizoneTM F5 kill germs quickly and continue to kill microorganisms on surfaces over time, even after repeated contamination. When used as directed, ActizoneTM F5 kills 99.9% of germs for 24 hours, so consumers and institutions can enjoy reliable surface disinfection and safety from bacteria and viruses.
