Safety: The beauty of our technology is that
it controls microorganisms without chemical poisons. Instead,
it relies on electrically charged particles that have a unique
spiked molecular structure. In nature, bacteria, mold and
fungi carry the opposite charge—so they are physically
and irresistibly drawn into contact with our product's pointed
molecules. The contact punctures the cell walls of the offending
microbes. Our product's molecular spikes are undetectable to human
touch, but are highly effective against most microbes.
Independent data through numerous studies have shown that
silane quats, nor their degradation products have adverse
effect on eucaryotic organisms or plants. The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)and the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) have scrutinized the safety and efficacy of these agents.
Currently they are used in a variety of products including
band aids, diapers, surgical drapes, antimicrobial socks and
garments, hand sanitizer, endotrachial shunts, shoe insoles,
and numerous other products. Our product has also been used
for many years to prevent mold infestation during pre-construction
of residential and commercial buildings.
Studies show that these surfaces are resistant to most common
disease causing bacteria, certain viruses and mold. Bio Barrier’s
mission is to provide an extra layer of protection in preventing
the transfer and dissemination of disease causing microbes
to healthcare surfaces and other facility surfaces.
Facts: All other conventional antimicrobials
used legally, including quats, bleach, peroxides, phenols,
triclosan, formaldehydes, paint formulations, etc., work on
the basis of diffusion away from the treated surface and are
temporary in their effects. This promotes adaptation, loss
of activity, leaching, diffusion, and creation of zones of
inhibition.
Our antimicrobial surface treatment,
which is an environmentally friendly, non-leaching, non-migrating
silicone polymer can help combat the serious problem
of surface-transmitted infections.
Science: A conventional quaternary ammonium
salt is chemically spliced to a silane molecule, resulting
in a highly active molecule. The active ingredient (3-trimethoxysilylpropyldimethyloctadecyl
ammonium chloride) has both tenacious bonding capabilities
as we l as excellent antimicrobial properties and covalently
or ionically bonds with the target surface.
How Is It Applied? Bio Barrier’s personnel
are certified, and will apply this protection without interruption
in the facility through our ISO-ONE® Pathogen
Control System.
Interior Surfaces to Treat: (Partial List):
- Floors, Walls, Ceilings, Counter Tops, Ceramic Tiles, Concrete,
Chrome, Stainless Steel, Fiberglass, Vinyl, Porcelain, Paper,
Wall Covering, Wood, Glass Fixtures, Marble, Aluminum, Book
Covers, Pictures, Furniture, Carpet, and Draperies/Upholstery.
ANTIMICROBIAL EFFICACY:
Effective against a broad spectrum of microbes
Bio Barrier's antimicrobial has been demonstrated to be a
broad-spectrum algaecide, bactericide and fungicide. It has
also been proven efficacious against Staphylococcus aureus,
MRSA, Salmonella, E.coli and other Gram(+) and Gram (-) bacteria
such as those that cause odor and staining of textiles.
