New Disinfectant QASc
We have prepared completely new quaternary ammonium salts - substances with a broad-spectrum effect.
We have prepared completely new quaternary ammonium salts - substances with a broad-spectrum effect.
Currently, the incidence of bacteria resistance to antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics, but also commonly used disinfectants, becomes an issue in the field of disinfection. In many cases, multidrug-resistant strains to both groups of anti-infectives compounds were described. This trend results from the long-term use of antibiotics and disinfectants, especially in hospitals where bacteria are constantly exposed to the selection pressure of antibiotics and thus the bacteria are able to develop resistance to antimicrobials due to evolutionary mechanism.
We have prepared completely new substances with a broad spectrum effect: high antimicrobial potential against bacteria (EN 13727 + A2), mycobacteria (EN 14348), fungi (EN 13624) and enveloped viruses (EN 14476 + A2). Substance is significantly effective even at very low concentration.
Advantages
Effective at low concentration (0,06%):
• low production costs
• low allergy potential
• friendly to surfaces
• waste-water friendly
Potential Applications
• healthcare
• agriculture
• food industry
