Active Disinfectant - 25kg

Active Disinfectant - 25kg

Active is a QAC-free disinfectant. The components meet the requirements of current European Legislation, and the formulation's biocidal element is supported in the Biocidal Products Regulation (EU 528/2012).
Active is suitable for use as a disinfectant in Breweries, Dairy Farms, Food Processing plants, and Beverage Production plants when used as directed. The broad spectrum of biocidal activity also makes Active suitable for use in other high-risk industries where good antimicrobial control is required (high-care production plants and institutional areas such as schools and nursing homes), particularly in applications where QAC disinfectants are undesirable.

Active has been independently tested by: -

• Campden BRI (CCFRA) and passes: -
  • EN1276 at 10°C at 1% v/v for Bacteria.
  • EN1650 at 20°C at 1% v/v for yeast and moulds.
  • Triangle Contact Taint test at 2% (based on BS ISO 4120:1983).
• Active has been tested and conforms to EN14476 for a limited spectrum activity at 5%.
• At 3% Active is effective against enveloped viruses.
• Active has been tested and conforms to EN16777 for Adenovirus and Norovirus at 5% contact time 5 minutes.
• Active has also been independently tested by Lab-Test Laboratorium SC and passed EN13697 at 10°C in dirty test conditions. Therefore, it is a very effective non-QAC option for disinfection in high-care environments.
  

USE INSTRUCTIONS

• Use Active at concentrations between 1% and 3% v/v, depending on application.
• Active is suitable for disinfecting food contact surfaces; it is not ideal for disinfection of foodstuffs.
• Active is non-tainting at concentrations up to 2% (not tested above this). However, when using it in a non-rinse-off environment, consideration must be given to any local regulations, and a risk assessment addressing the potential for food contamination should be conducted.
• The following are typical example applications. Users should refer to Cleaning Instruction Cards for specific guidance. Other applications should be discussed with your Holchem Consultant.
• Note: Users should validate cleaning and disinfection by an appropriate post-disinfection swabbing regime for use under recommended conditions or variations thereof.
  

Surface Disinfection

Active can be used as a surface disinfectant (1% v/v is recommended) following thorough cleaning. It can be sprayed through a trigger, pump-up, backpack, pressurised canister sprayer or venturi applicator. Active should be allowed a contact time of at least 15 minutes. It is non-tainting and not classified as toxic according to European Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.

Soak Application

Active can be used for dip or soak disinfection of equipment parts, utensils and tools. For maximum efficacy, items must be soaked for at least 15 minutes at a recommended concentration of 1% v/v. If, upon removing items from the soak bath, there is potential for hold-up or pooling of liquid, it is advisable to rinse items in potable water before reusing them. Active can also be used for a dip or spray disinfection of sealed packaged foodstuffs being transferred from a low-risk to a high-care environment. Active is non-tainting, but on opening packages, care should be taken to avoid transfer of Active solutions onto foodstuffs, rinsing with potable quality water may be necessary.

Fogging

Active can be fogged, at up to 3% v/v, into airspaces to control airborne microorganisms. Where required, fogging should be used as part of a total cleaning and disinfection regime. During fogging, all personnel must be evacuated from the area, and fogged areas must not be re-entered until all the fog has settled (typically 1 hour). After fogging, it is advisable to rinse surfaces with potable-quality water. Advice on fogging is available from Holchem.
