An Anti-Microbial Monomer/Polymer Offering Cleaner, Faster, Safer, More Comprehensive Anti-Microbial Protection • Not a serious toxin and danger like Triclosan • Cheaper, faster-acting than silver/copper-based compounds • Non-leaching; stays within the material • Extends functional life of product treated • Produces self sanitizing materials • Can be applied as spray, in solution, or as powder
Benefits • Non- leaching, permanent antimicrobial surface • Biocide has been proven to be nontoxic, to contain no carcinogens, teratogens, mutagens or reproductive toxins • Active kills instantly by disrupting the cell membrane, eliminating any possibility of mutation, adaptation or resistance • Broad kill range • Environmentally friendly-EPA and FDA approved • The technology can be used on wide range of materials. • Provides both collective and individual bio-defense protection. • Added cost is modest compared to benefit. Approximately 2-5 cents per square foot of coating or 5 to 50 cents per pound of plastic or resin.
Typical Applications • Individual and collective protection • Clothing, Uniforms, and other Wearable Fabrics • Carbon filters • Tent Webbing and canvas materials • Painted Surfaces • Laminate and counter tops in field operations • Contamination avoidance • Bulk polymer Resins/ Plastics • Resin Concentrates • Sanitation and Health Safety Equipment • Medical treatment • Medical Devices • Surgical drapes and wound dressings • Nano coatings • Interior surfaces/ walls floors • HVAC ducts • Filters
Action: The Poly-Quat AntimicrobialIs bound to the product controlling Microbes on contact • Is substantive to the product substrate • Is not consumed when challenged by microbes • Mechanically destroys the cell • Will not cause microbial adaptation • Functions equally in a nano coating or bulk substrate treatment process • Can be added into manufacturing process or applied later • Can be combined with other surface protectants (e.g., water repellant, anti-static)
The Antimicrobial AgentWhy did we choose this antimicrobial? • 3 (trimethoxysilyl)propyl–dimethyloctadecyl ammonium chloride • Unique in the scope of its kill range/broad kill • Bacteria (gram positive) • Staphylococcus Aureus • Bacteria (gram negative) • Salmonella Typhosa • Yeast • Algae • Fungi • EPA Registered • Chemically active
