During this global coronavirus(Covid-19) pandemic, the world is facing an invisible threat to Health and Safety . With no vaccine or specific treatment, the CDC has approved Regular Disinfection of surfaces using EPA registered and approved chemicals to reduce risks & limit the spread of covid-19.

About Covid-19

Coronavirus(Covid-19) is an acute respiratory illness caused by a strain of SARS-coV-2 virus. This highly contagious disease was first discovered in Wuhan, China late 2019 and has since spread worldwide. Covid -19 has since been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization(WHO).

Transmission

The first human-to-human transmission of SARS-coV-2 was confirmed on 20 January 2020. Transmission primarily occurs via respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes of an infected person.
Preliminary research has shown that the droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, hence they fall on floors or surfaces. Transmission of the virus can occur by touching a Contaminated Surface then your mouth, nose or eyes.

How long does Covid-19 stick on surfaces?

Coronavirus lives longer on some surfaces than others. The infectious droplets can stay active on hard shiny surfaces for upto 72 Hours. These surfaces include plastic, stainless steel, benchtops, and glass. Researchers have found that on fibrous and absorbent surfaces such as cardboard, paper and fabrics, the virus stays active for about 24 hours.

Application Method

There are a variety of ways to apply disinfectants. For combating airborne pathogens and disinfecting large areas, Fogging is an ideal solution.

What is Fogging?

Ultra-low volume (ULV) disinfection fogging involves filling the tank of a fogging machine with a disinfecting solution which is dispersed in the air in the form of microscopic droplets.
The droplets can settle underneath, on top of and on the sides of many objects and inaccessible areas that are impossible to reach using conventional cleaning methods. Fogging can significantly reduce the number of pathogens both on surfaces and in the air.
Rapid ULV fogging and disinfection is highly effective in treatment of large surfaces within a short span of time. These surfaces include:

    1. • Other common surfaces
      • Tables and counters, Hard-backed chairs
      • Remote controls
      • Sinks, Faucets, Toilets
      •Floors, Door handles, Handrails, Push bars, Switches, and buttons
