Note:

* Based on locally sourced data and independent international research, QAC and twin-chain QAC (quaternary ammonium compounds), are effective against Mycoplasma bovis, when used as per instructions, on clean hard surfaces. Further information relating to efficacy can be provided on request.

** Although specific testing has not yet been undertaken on FIV, efficacy data is available for HIV, and as the two are very similar in structure, Virucide is effective on FIV (as surrogate).

*** Although specific testing does not relate to Canine Parvovirus, efficacy data is available for Porcine Parvovirus (PPV), and as the two are very similar in structure, Virucide is effective on Canine Parvovirus (as surrogate).

Recommended Areas of Use

VIRUCLEAR

Broad Spectrum Surface Sanitiser

Viruclear has been developed specifically for reducing the infectivity of coronaviruses, known to persist on surfaces such as metal, glass and plastic for up to 9 days. Suitable for use in commercial, industrial, health care and other public facilities. Viruclear uses a combination of Stabilised Hydrogen Peroxide (SHP) and specialist surfactants combined with other additives to act as an oxidant by producing hydroxyl free radicals (OH) which attack essential components of microorganisms, including lipids, proteins and DNA/RNA.

Recommended for use as a hard surface disinfectant/sanitiser: suitable for all hard surface in schools, churches, supermarkets, public transport including buses & railway carriages, taxis, hospitals, industrial, commercial, hospitality and institutional settings, manufacturing lines, food preparation areas, mortuaries, veterinary clinics, farms, livestock carriages and animal pens. Can be used on soft furnishings but always try on an inconspicuous area first.

Features & Benefits

Broad Spectrum

• Disinfects and sanitises

• Reduces infectivity of wide range of human and animal viruses

• One product can be used to treat a wide range of surfaces

Concentrated

• 5 litres of concentrate will make 83 litres of ready-to-use solution at 1:15 dilution rate

• Provides great value for money

Multipurpose

• Able to be used in multiple situations

• Spray & wipe application, pour application, general large hard surface cleaning and sanitising applications

Simple 3-Step Cleaning Programme

1. Clean the surface with a cleaning detergent first.

2. Wipe the surface or rinse it clean.

3. Sanitise the surface with Viruclear. Spray the surface and allow contact time for about 60 seconds.

Efficacy Data

Viruclear has been developed specifically for reducing the infectivity of coronaviruses. Suitable for use in commercial, industrial, health care and other public facilities. Viruclear uses a combination of Stabilised Hydrogen Peroxide (SHP) and specialist surfactants combined with other additives to act as an oxidant by producing hydroxyl free radicals (OH) which attack essential components of microorganisms, including lipids, proteins and DNA/RNA.

Human coronaviruses can persist on surfaces such as metal, glass and plastic for up to 9 days. Some disinfectant agents effectively reduce coronavirus infectivity within 1 minute, for example:

• 0.5% hydrogen peroxide

• 0.1% sodium hypochlorite

• 62% – 71% ethanol

The efficacy of any bactericide/virucide is a function of the concentration of the sanitiser and the contact time. Whilst laboratory results have shown 0.5% hydrogen peroxide to be effective on coronaviruses in as little as 60 seconds, the longer the contact time the greater the efficacy. Viruclear has been designed to leave minimal residue so in most instances it can be left on the surface and not rinsed. However, if time allows the surface can be wiped with a damp cloth. This will help remove any biofilm present. Biofilms build up on most surfaces and help protect bacteria and viruses. The oxidising nature of Viruclear helps breakdown the biofilm and wiping the surface helps remove it. Once the oxidisation/sanitising process has taken place and killed bacteria and viruses, Viruclear will breakdown to water and oxygen.
