The new market needs, caused by this pandemic, demand products of proven efficacy in Cleaning and Disinfection (C&D).
Biocidal products are usually restricted to professional use. INSTABACT DS is a contact disinfectant suitable for use by the general public.
INSTABACT DS has the registrations 20-20/40-10631 and 20-20/40-10631-HA, UNE-EN 13697 against bacteria, fungicides and listeria and UNE-EN 14476 against adenovirus, norovirus types and enveloped viruses (coronavirus).
It is used pure applied on the surface to be disinfected by spraying, leaving the product to act for 5 minutes in contact with the surface.
INSTABACT DS can also be used for conventional scrubbing of floors and surfaces of lower risk and that do not require a high degree of disinfection.
What INSTABACT DS is used for
INSTABACT DS is a ready-to-use liquid disinfectant cleaner: it cleans and disinfects in a single step. It is registered for two areas of use: contact disinfection of surfaces by the general public and, in the food industry and for environmental use, contact disinfection of surfaces and equipment applied by professional staff.
Efficacy tested to UNE-EN standards
- UNE-EN 13697, under dirty conditions: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus hirae, Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Aspergillus brasiliensis.
- UNE-EN 14476, under dirty conditions: adenovirus type 5 and murine norovirus, so it is considered active against rotavirus and against the enveloped viruses listed in the standard, such as coronaviruses.
Directions for use
- Disinfection: apply the product neat by spraying, immersion or with a cloth, leave for at least 5 minutes and then wipe with a scourer, cloth or paper to remove any remaining dirt or contamination. Repeat if necessary.
- Daily maintenance: diluted in water at 5-10 %, with a mop, scourer or cloth, for cleaning floors, tiles and other lower-risk surfaces.
Composition, pack sizes and precautions
INSTABACT DS contains isopropyl alcohol and didecyldimethylammonium chloride, and comes in 12 x 1 l, 4 x 5 l and 10 l packs. It causes eye and skin irritation: wear protective gloves and eye protection, wash your hands after handling and do not mix it with other chemical products. Respecting the contact time is key to the result: wiping or rinsing too early reduces the effectiveness of any disinfectant.
