About Prebona Disinfect
Prebona Disinfect is a water-based solution, specifically formulated to effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses & fungi. Today’s alcohol-based disinfectants are important complementary products to infection control practices but have several known weaknesses. The biggest one being the short-lasting effect. Already after two minutes, hands and surfaces are again unprotected from microbial infection. Additionally, alcohol-based disinfectants have limited effect against many types of virus, may cause skin irritation, and are often flammable, resulting in handling difficulties.
Prebona Disinfect will address all these weaknesses and offer the unique ability to protect surfaces, textiles & skin rapidly, and with long-lasting effect.
The product is based on Prebona’s unique & proprietary technology platform, Prebona CompoTech, allowing us to use different active components hundreds of times more efficiently and controlled compared to conventional technologies.
Prebona Disinfect uses silica particles, dispersed in water & surface-modified with extremely small amounts of silver nitrate as the active ingredient to achieve its long-lasting effect. Silver nitrate has been used for its disinfectant properties in drinking water purification and within Health Care for centuries and has well established and undoubted anti-microbial properties. This is well documented within the scientific community and proven beyond any doubt. The main reasons why silver is a globally recognized disinfectant, is the combination of antimicrobial efficacy of safety in use. Additionally, the carefully balanced technology helps unnecessary leakage of active material, and optimal use of active ingredient through a smart-release system. Thus activating the silver only when needed.
The product is approved for use according to the European Biocidal Regulation. Tests have been conducted by the Karolinska Institute, Uppsala University and by independent third-party test institutes proving excellent results against bacteria, viruses and fungi.
