Sterilex today announces that Sterilex Ultra Disinfectant Cleaner has been approved by the EPA for use against biofilm bacteria. Bacteria in biofilms have been shown to be ~1000X harder to kill than free-swimming bacteria. To date, Sterilex is the only company in the US to have been granted EPA approved claims against biofilm bacteria for both public health and industrial applications.
Sterilex Ultra Disinfectant Cleaner is Listericidal, Salmonellacidal, Pseudomonacidal, Staphylocidal (including MRSA), Virucidal, and effective against E. coli, Z. bailii, and Avian Influenza A.
Sterilex products have been customized to address the sanitation challenges and to solve quality control problems for which routine cleaners and sanitizers are ineffective. Sterilex products are based upon a patented alkaline peroxide chemistry with phase transfer catalysis, which has the unique ability to penetrate and remove organic soils, and to kill pathogenic and food spoilage microorganisms. The synergistic components in Sterilex products create a powerful level of performance through multiple mechanisms of action. Sterilex products contain no chlorine, solvents, or VOC’s.
The addition of Sterilex products has been demonstrated to lead to significant competitive advantages and operating efficiencies for customers as evidenced by increased shelf life, prevention of microbial spikes, prevention of recalls, reduction of product losses, and optimization of productivity.
Sterilex products have received widespread recognition, and are recommended by QA/QC managers at leading food processing companies. Sterilex was awarded a USDA National Research Initiative grant to demonstrate the efficacy of its products against Listeria monocytogenes in meat and poultry plants. Sterilex was the first company to receive biofilm removal claims for industrial and public health applications by the US EPA, and was also the proud recipient of “Bio Product of the Year” award from the Technology Council of Maryland.
