Green Certification Awarded to SpectraSan24

Broad spectrum Disinfectant Earns An Impressive Credential

Did you know there are more than 3 million poisonings every year? In fact, the Number One cause of poisoning in children is household cleaners. According to Poison Control: “The top three culprits are household cleaners, bleach and medications.”

Have you ever thought of your home as a toxic waste dump? The average home today contains 62 toxic un-safe chemicals, more than a chemistry lab at the turn of the last century. Did you know that more than 72,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced since WW II? Less than 2% of synthetic chemicals have been tested for toxicity, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects and birth defects, and these chemicals are enormously detrimental to our planet. 

The Green Clean Institute has certified BioTech Medical LLC’s new platform technology. SpectraSan 24 is an advanced, broad-spectrum disinfectant that has been assigned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) lowest toxicity rating – Category IV. 

Unlike traditional alcohol- or bleach-based surface disinfectants, SpectraSan 24 requires no hazard or warning statements, yet it carries bacterial kill times as fast as 30 seconds, compared with 10 minutes for competing products. These benefits are due to a patented new silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) molecule, the first new disinfectant active ingredient to be registered with the EPA in more than 30 years.  SpectraSan 24 provides powerful protection – even against resistant pathogens such as MRSA – and continues to kill bacteria for up to 24 hours after application; and it’s recommended for use in sensitive childcare environments.

SpectraSan 24 can be used to kill germs on hard surfaces in a wide variety of settings such as homes, offices, schools, hospitals, medical and dental clinics, athletic and fitness centers, daycare centers, public facilities and more.

Read the back label of conventional disinfectants and you’ll learn that surfaces must remain wet for 10 minutes to be effective. Unfortunately, these products evaporate in less than 2 minutes and cease to be effective once dried. SpectraSan 24 not only kills faster than competitive products, but it continues to kill germs for 24 hours.

SpectraSan 24 is colorless, odorless, non-staining and is designed for use on hard, non-porous surfaces.  Plus, it contains no hazardous ingredients or pollutants. Furthermore, it’s certifiable (GMP) manufacturing process produces zero discharge with no waste or byproducts. SpectraSan 24 is manufactured from silver ions and citric acid - 99.967% (by weight) is composed of renewable raw materials (purified water and citric acid) which are naturally occurring in the environment. 

Moreover, not one of the ingredients in SpectraSan 24 is considered hazardous by OSHA or listed on the California list of toxic chemicals (CA Proposition 65). And SpectraSan 24 meets Clean Air and Water Act (CWA) standards and per the Clean Air Act, does not contain any hazardous air pollutants, Class 1 Ozone depletors, or Class 2 Ozone depletors. Plus, there is not a single ingredient listed as Hazardous Substances or as Priority or Toxic Pollutants under the CWA.

Green Certification: Chemical exposure presents a real danger to you, your family, and your employees’ health and wellbeing, not to mention posing a serious threat to the Earth. If you have a choice, why not use a safer alternative to the toxic chemicals found in many disinfectants and household cleaners that are the root cause for numerous health issues? 

SpectraSan 24 is the Green Clean Institute’s germicidal certifiable choice because it provides broad-spectrum protection, 24-hours residual efficacy, the EPA’s lowest toxicity rating, and will not threaten the health of humans, pets, and/or the environment.  SpectraSan 24 contains SDC platform technology that distinguishes itself from competitors in the marketplace because of its superior efficacy, reduced toxicity, and the inability of bacteria to form a resistance to it.
