Hospital, Industrial and Institutional Disinfection
The selection of a highly effective disinfectant is crucial to effectively treat contamination and reduce the risk of infection – especially in hospitals and public places.
LANXESS offers different chemistries, Preventol® (phenolic active substances), Klarix™/Ucarcide™ (Glutaraldehyde) and Oxone™ (potassium monopersufate) for surface disinfection* in medical and institutional areas such as hospitals, doctor’s offices and public institutions.
Disinfectants* based on LANXESS active substances offer decisive advantages: they have broad-spectrum efficacy against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Preventol® phenolics are effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis; and they provide reliable disinfection even in the presence of organic matter such as dirt, blood and sputum.
Tuberculosis is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. If hard surfaces contaminated with the bacterium are not disinfected properly, the pathogen can spread. To minimize exposure from surfaces, use a Preventol® phenolics-based disinfectant. Our phenolic actives are proven effective* against the mycobacterium within a short contact time*, which makes them essential in medical areas.
