Advancing Compatibility and Sustainability

Formulations powered by Citr-IQ disinfectant technology achieve the ideal disinfectant profile across five critical benchmarks for hard, non-porous surfaces and equipment:

  • Superior Compatibility: Safe for use across sensitive equipment, including soft metals and delicate plastics where legacy chemistries can cause surface degradation.
  • Broad Spectrum of Kill: Bactericidal, Virucidal, Fungicidal, and Tuberculocidal with short, 1-minute contact times*.
  • Gentle Safety Profile: Formulated with a non-irritating, non-toxic profile that requires no personal protective equipment (PPE) at in-use dilutions.
  • Environmental Stewardship: Utilizes natural and biodegradable active ingredients derived from sustainable fermentation processes; formulated for use with biodegradable wipes.
  • Cleaning Efficiency: Functions as a high-efficiency one-step cleaner disinfectant that cleans while it disinfects.
