Why Phoraid is so effective and safe to use for protection against Cross-infection...

• Phoraid products are Iodophors releasing Iodine, a powerful germicide, in a convenient way
  
  
• Iodine is generally considered to be four times more active than chlorine. (US Public Health Service, Food and Sanitation Manual 1962)
  
  
• Iodine is faster acting than Hypochlorites, Quaternary ammonium compounds and Phenols.
  
  
• Phoraid  is relatively more effective than other agents at low temperatures, where others suffer a reduction in their bactericidal activity.
  Phoraid is most efficient below 40° C
  
  
• Phoraid remains bactericidal at low concentrations
  
  
• Phoraid retains it's activity over a wider range of pH values than does Chlorine.
  
  
• Phoraid shows no decrease in microbicidal activity in the presence of hard water.
  
  
• Phoraid is not affected by salt water
  
  
• Phoraid products are biodegradable, and cost effective when used at correct dilution rates.
  
  
• Phoraid products offer good stability in storage. [24 months if stored correctly – away from heat and direct sunlight and provided containers are sealed when not in use]
  
  
• Iodine possesses sporicidal activity, the rate being influenced by conditions [Pelczar, Reid and Chan]
  
  
• Phoraid products will not give off fumes when they deliberately/inadvertently come into contact with other chemicals. Phoraid products are non-flammable.
  
  
• Phoraid products are free rinsing, and do not permanently stain textiles, skin or most hard surfaces if used at the correct dilutions, any yellowing from long term use on recycled plastics can, in most cases, be removed immediately with Phoraid Color Eradicator.
  
  
• Phoraid products contain no bleaching agents and will not damage or discolour fabrics when used for decontamination of uniforms etc.
