Problems Solved

In recent years, there has been a significant push to limit the use of quaternary ammonium compounds, commonly known as quats, due to their environmental impact and potential health concerns. While effective, quats are chemical compounds that can persist in the environment, leading to increased regulation and a search for viable alternatives for hard surface disinfection. 

Conventional disinfection agents often fall short of delivering satisfactory cleaning performance, which has prompted industry professionals to search for more effective and eco-friendly options. Moreover, the rigorous process involved in developing and obtaining EPA registration for such disinfectants poses additional challenges, especially for companies striving to meet these escalating standards. 

Given the current global health landscape, the need for disinfectants that can effectively neutralize a wide range of pathogens, including both bacteria and viruses, has become more pressing. This requirement became even more critical with the outbreak of viruses like SARS-CoV-2, placing traditional disinfectants under scrutiny for their ability to address such threats adequately.
