Ready to take on the rapid spread of COVID-19, three of our trusted products are already registered on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) list of disinfectants for use in fighting the new coronavirus pandemic: ShockWave Concentrate (61178-1-73884), IAQ 2000 (1839-95-73884) and IAQ 2500 (1839-83-73884) can be found on the EPA’s List N, meeting the agency’s emerging pathogen efficacy requirements. Shockwave RTU and Shockwave Concentrate provide hospital-grade and virucidal protection, meaning they are chemical agents that deactivate or destroy viruses or pathogens — and are government-registered to kill 99.99% of germs.

Some environments, particularly those in which people are in close contact, may make it easier for this type of coronavirus, to spread.
It’s critical to understand the facts about COVID-19 so you can help prevent its spread in your facility.
Individuals can protect themselves and help prevent the spread of COVID-19 with good hand, respiratory and safe food hygiene.
However, if you’re a facility manager or cleaning professional, you also play an important role in protecting people and the community against the coronavirus. It’s essential to implement consistent and proper cleaning and disinfection procedures with products shown to kill the virus.
For a product to be EPA Registered as a disinfectant it must pass efficacy testing for each given virus or microorganism. This test includes exposing the subject strain to the disinfectant and the product must kill over 99.99% of the microorganism to pass. Often an organic soil load is added to create a more challenging test as organic material on the surface reduces the efficacy of a disinfectant. The industry standard is a 5% organic soil load which simulates slightly “dirty” conditions. Shockwave was tested, and EPA registered, against the Human Coronavirus at much higher, more challenging, but real-world scenario 98% soil load. Before using any disinfectant always review the label to determine if the product is appropriate for your application.
