What Does Hygienilac Do?

Quite simply, it kills superbugs. In fact, it’s proven to kill 99.9% of almost all species of bacteria, including the deadly MRSA, salmonella and E.coli, and goes on killing them for the lifetime of the additive for up to ten years.

COMPLETELY HARMLESS TO US, DEADLY TO SUPERBUGS.

It is also non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic and non-skin sensitising. It is even approved by the FDA and HSE for indirect or incidental contact with food. In other words, it is completely harmless to us, but unique and devastatingly effective against bacteria. 

How Does It Work?

Hygienilac stops the bacteria getting the nutrients they need, with the result that 99.9% simply starve and die within 24 hours. And Hygienilac doesn’t just work once. Thanks to its low water solubility and imperviousness to UV light which stops it breaking down, it goes on working for up to ten years. You can see more detail here.

There is no discolouration whatsoever as a result of using Hygienilac, so it’s more aesthetically pleasing too.

Proven safe thanks to stringent testing.

The beauty of Hygienilac is that not only is it proven to kill 99.9% of almost all species of superbugs.

PROTECTING HOSPITALITY AND LEISURE ENVIRONMENTS

In hospitality and leisure environments, it’s not just the kitchen where bacteria can multiply and cause infection. Table tops and surfaces in pubs, hotels, restaurants, bars and leisure centres can be just as much a hazard to consumers.

Hygienilac protects all wood surfaces such as furniture, doors, handrails and floors from bacteria. It’s the only product of its kind that can provide long-term protection against superbugs and bacteria, including MRSA, for up to ten years.

It’s believed to be the first biocidally proactive lacquer to be produced in the UK and has been independently certified by one of the most respected microbiological labs in the UK, Bodycote Lawlabs in Birmingham.

Antibacterial Hygienilac can play its part in helping the hospitality sector to achieve the Food Standards Agency’s aims of raising awareness of food hygiene issues among catering businesses and the public, and bringing down the number of food poisoning cases.

If you’re thinking of opening a new venue or refurbishing an existing site, make sure you specify Hygienilac superbug resistant wood lacquer.
