Effective wash

Deb Group has introduced a new antibacterial hand wash for use in any food handling, general workplace, public facility or social care environment where higher standards of hand hygiene are required.

Dr John Hines, R&D director at Deb explains: "The active power of OxyBAC is hydrogen peroxide which, unlike other biocidal actives, has the benefit of simply breaking down into water and oxygen after use with no environmental or human toxi-cological impact. When AHP comes into contact with germs it releases free-radicals which act non-specifically on multiple cell targets to kill germs in such a manner that prevents antibacterial resistance." The hand wash is said to have an excellent physical cleansing performance, with good skin feel during and after use. The company says that OxyBAC will kill 99.999% of many bacteria in 30sec.
