Rapid penetration of cell walls by the powerful SteriGENE disinfectant constituents ensures cell death is equally rapid. SteriGENE works up to 70% quicker than conventional high level disinfectants and achieves apoptosis (cell death) rather than merely suspending activity as with conventional disinfectant products.
The synergistic blend of SteriGENE active ingredients produces the fastest acting and most efficient anti viral and sporicidal agent presently available in non-oxidising disinfectant technology.
EA International encourages all users of chemical products to pay special attention to the advisory statements within Material Safety Data Sheets and on product labelling.
- Skin contact: Low risk – may degrease skin leading to dryness if excessive contact.
- Eye contact: Low risk – may cause temporary discomfort.
- Inhalation: Low risk – avoid inhalation of fine mist spray.
- Inhalation (long term): Low risk – avoid inhalation of fine mist spray.
- Ingestion: Low risk – substantial ingestion will cause discomfort to mouth and digestive tissues.
Physical and chemical properties
- pH: 5.5 (approx)
Toxicological information
- Human Studies: 4 hour and 20 hours patch tests have shown minor skin reddening but no harmful effects.
Transport information
- No special conditions apply. Not dangerous.
Accidental release measures
- Environmental precautions: Product is biodegradable under OECD conditions operational 6/1995.
- Clean up method: Flush to drain with copious water or soak up onto inert material.
Ecological information
- No known adverse effects from normal use.
- The SteriGENE formula fully meets the criteria of the European Biocides Regulations which came into force in 2007.
- SteriGENE has not been tested on animals to secure its supporting data.
SteriGENE produces a 99.999+% (log 5+) kill rate in Parvo under the EPA protocol at a dilution of 1:100 (1 part disinfectant in 100 parts water).
SteriGENE users can rely on one dilution (1:100) for broad spectrum activity (supported by independent testing) in high risk conditions against viruses, mycobacteria, fungi and bacterial organisms and another for economic general purpose disinfection (1:200) in intermediate risk areas.
