by jbs032410 a3 — March 29, 2010—BioTech Medical recently announced it has inked a deal with Nilodor, Inc., a major manufacturer of odor-control and cleaning products to the janitorial supply industry.
Nilodor will be responsible for manufacturing, packaging and distributing BioTech Medical’s EPA-registered disinfectant, SpectraSan 24, which BioTech says prevents the spread of bacterial infections, viruses and fungal transmission on hard, non-porous surfaces.
Unlike traditional alcohol or bleach-based surface disinfectants, SpectraSan 24 requires no hazard or warning statements and boasts bacterial kill times as quick as 30 seconds, compared with 10 minutes for competing products, says BioTech. These benefits are due to SpectraSan 24’s SDC technology (developed by PURE Bioscience), the first new disinfectant active ingredient to be registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in more than 30 years, according to the company.
SpectraSan 24 provides protection against Norovirus, Influenza A (H1N1), SARS, HIV and antibiotic resistant pathogens such as MRSA, CA-MRSA and VRE, says BioTech. It reportedly continues to kill bacteria for up to 24 hours after usage and yet holds the EPA’s Category IV toxicity rating, the lowest classification available. Furthermore, SpectraSan 24 is specifically labeled for use in sensitive childcare environments.
Nilodor, Inc. will distribute SpectraSan 24 to more than 1,800 sales and distribution partners around the country — selling to hospitals, medical and dental offices, long-term care facilities, child care centers, schools, fitness clubs, correctional facilities, hotels, restaurants, airlines, and professional, collegiate and high school sports facilities, as well as numerous other facilities.
