Advantages Over Multi-Quaternary Compounds:
• Enhanced Efficacy: STIZE exhibits a broader spectrum of antimicrobial activity due to its relatively high DDAC concentration (1.5%). Moreover, STIZE has been proven to sustain its high efficacy even on dirty surfaces that normally need to be cleaned before the application of disinfectant.
• Reduced Toxicity: Unlike some multi-quaternary compounds, STIZE was designed from the ground-up to be less toxic to humans’ animals and the environment, and non-leaching (to stay on the desired surface and not become runoff), all while minimizing health risks.
• Many multi-quat competitors rely on ethanol boosting to achieve broad spectrum pathogenic kill efficacy thus defeating a key advantage of quats (lower toxicity)
• Durability: With its high purity water formulation and high positive ionic charge, STIZE adheres very well to most surfaces (negatively charged) and more effectively attracts inherently negatively charged pathogens (virtually all). This combination has shown high initial pathogenic load knockdown, ongoing protection once the water has evaporated and no further dissipation or leaching as with most multi-quats lacking a binder.
• Absent an effective binder, most quats can easily be rinsed away and enter the ground/water ecosystem. Toxicity to some marine life has been shown to exist with many quats when not bonded to the surface.
Advantages Over Alcohol-Based Disinfectants:
• Prolonged Residual Activity: The water-based disinfectant provides a longer-lasting effect compared to alcohol-based solutions as these evaporate rapidly at ambient temperatures and require near continuous re-application if pathogens can be transferred mechanically or airborne circulation is possible in an open-air disinfection scenario.
• Flammability: Alcohol-based disinfectants are inherently flammable. Alcohol flames are particularly dangerous because they are clear and difficult to see. Made with 97.5% water, STIZE can be used to put out fires.
• Dermal Absorption: Alcohol is very prone to dermal absorption and has shown long term degradation of immune systems and organ damage. By contrast, STIZE’s use of DDAC has proven in extensive laboratory dermal toxicity ex-vivo tests that it has very low absorption characteristics.
Advantages Over Peroxide and Bleach-Based Disinfectants:
• Safety: Toxicity from peroxide and bleach-based disinfectants arises from the corrosive activity upon contact with mucous membranes and skin. While small accidental ingestions are very unlikely to cause clinically significant toxicity, large ingestions may cause corrosive gastrointestinal injury and systemic effects, including shortness of breath leading to metabolic acidosis, hypernatremia, and hyperchloremia. If the bleach compound is mixed with other agents and allowed to release chlorine gas, inhalation damage to the respiratory tract, including the airways and distal lung the result can lead acute lung injury or death.
• Environmental Friendliness: Comprised of > 97.5% highly purified water, the total active ingredient load in STIZE is inherently low at 1.5%. By contrast, products featuring bleach as the active agent, often have concentrations of >5%. When combined with the binding technology preventing it from leaching, the resultant environmental impact results in orders of magnitude improvements over chlorine-based disinfectants.
• Corrosiveness, Stability and Compatibility: Bleach formulations demonstrate discoloration, high surface degradation on metallic and many plastic surfaces. Suitability for use around these structures and equipment is very limited. Exposure to sunlight, long term stability and releasing of gases when shaken dictate that most products be packaged in opaque, non-bio friendly.
• packaging. STIZE is packaged in recycled, clear packaging and is neither sunlight sensitive nor temperature/vibration unstable
