This UK company was established in 2020 and supplies a range of fogging equipment as well as its powerful electrolysed water disinfectant, which is used by a wide variety of businesses across the UK including schools, care homes, NHS clinics, churches, hotels, B&B’s, bars, restaurants, food processors, leisure centres, gymnasiums, and retailers. Electrolysed water is an ecological disinfectant that kills viruses, including Covid-19, bacteria, spores and fungi significantly faster than chlorine bleach. It is non hazardous, pH neutral, non-corrosive, and hypo-allergenic. It is produced in an electrolysis chamber from just water and salt and through the electrolysis process 0.03% hypochlorous acid is produced. Hypochlorous acid is a powerful biocide because it penetrates cell walls of microorganisms more easily than other chlorine based substances such as hypochlorite (found in bleach) and steals electrons from viral and bacterial cells causing them to destabilise and die.

The product is safe and easy to store and can be used both inside and outside in small and large areas for industrial, commercial and domestic use. The solution can be used from a bottle for smaller items, as a hand wash and in domestic situations, or with a fogging machine for larger areas, rooms, public transport, food production, agriculture and horticultural environments. It is safe to use around meat and poultry processing plants.

During the Coronavirus pandemic this electrolysed water has proved to be an extremely effective and efficient disinfectant to help reduce the spread of the disease. The main advantages are that it can be applied very quickly with minimum disruption to businesses and areas can be re-populated within minutes of fogging. This has saved businesses many hours of labour and downtime and enables a fast turnaround between customers or patients.

The sterilising water can be supplied in small spray bottles, larger bulk bottles and 1000L containers, or it can be produced on site under license.

The company is looking for distributors with established relationships in the following sectors: health, transport, government bodies, food processors, horticulture and agriculture and other entities that may benefit from providing a solution for their users and enable multi discipline interactions.

Advantages & innovations

- Eliminates handling and storage of hazardous chemicals, and increases workplace safety. - Reduces downtime and maintenance. Costs less than conventional biocide methods. - Decontaminates poultry and meat farms resulting in healthier livestock, reduced mortality and reduced reliance on antibiotics. - Prevents microbial contamination at meat and poultry process plants prior to packaging. - Can be used on aircraft, buses, trains, trams and underground carriages. - Reduces corrosion, improves thermal efficiency. - It can be applied using Ultra Low Volume (ULV) foggers, ultra-sonic foggers or electrostatic foggers. - The sterilising water is neutralised on contact with organic matter and returns to its original ingredients of salt and water. This makes it a truly ecological disinfectant that can be washed directly down drains after use without any possibility of harming aquatic life or the environment. - High levels of disinfection can be achieved quickly and efficiently using fogging machines, causing minimum disruption to businesses whilst protecting their staff and customers from viruses and bacteria, and minimising the spread of Coronaviruses.
