The Lab - Hygienilac(Active Ingredient)

Hygienilac does not employ silver technology and is completely UV stable.

Hygienilac’s anti-bacterial properties do not migrate on contact with water.

How does Hygienilac work?

• It prevents the bacteria’s access to nutrients so they starve and die
• It has a kill rate of 99.999% and works within 60 seconds of contact.
• Proven effective up to 72hrs and when used on clothing reduces bad odours
• These products are completely safe to use and classified as non hazardous.

• BS EN 1500 – Disinfectant & Antiseptics test
• BS EN 1275 – Fungicidal activity test
• BS EN 13697 – Bactericidal test non-porous surfaces

The active ingredient has approvals from the following organisations:

Why it works

Here’s the technical bit.

• Germ Warfare active ingredient Hygienilac is membrane active without specific key lock reactions with parts of the micro-organism cell. It is not thought possible that bacteria, fungi can build up any form of immunity to Germ Warfare active ingredient Hygienilac. It works by disrupting microbes ability to reproduce thus organisms remaining become non-viable and die
• The product range has a log reduction kill rate against bacteria spores of between 3.6 to 6.75 on 60 second contact time. This means within 60 seconds we kill 99.999% of bacteria. No other product range has this kill rate.
• The active ingredient Hygienilac has been proven to be active up to 72hrs after first application. This means it continues to kill bacteria for up to 3 days.
• In laundry product the active ingredient stays in the clothing and continues to kill bacteria and reduce odour.
• The product is completely safe. Food safe, child safe, safe around animals.
• Environmentally friendly product range. Biodegreable.

Germ Warfare Products do not contain;

• Silver – Does not employ silver technology so is completely UV stable and does not migrate out after prolonged contact with water.
• Antibiotics – Can be expensive and prolong use can build up an immunity to the product.
• Dangerous chemicals – No need for specialist clothing
• Heavy metals ,Formaldehydes, solvents
