Antiviral and Antimicrobial Hands and Surface Sanitizer

Background

Viruses play a major role in the occurrence of respiratory diseases. Transfer of virus can occur to and from hands, as well as between hands and fomites. Today alcohol – based sanitizers demonstrate good antimicrobial activity but have poor antiviral activity against non-enveloped viruses such as Norovirus and others (around 90% of all non-bacterial outbreaks in Europe can be attributed to Norovirus).

This novel broad spectrum anti-viral and anti-microbial sanitizer helps to prevent the spread of disease by disinfecting  hands and surfaces against bacteria,  as well as enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.
