Although most EPA- and BPR-registered hard-surface agents may be nontoxic, their promised efficacy against odor-causing bacteria or mold growth (mold control) leaves much to be desired. In most healthcare reviews, these antimicrobial-acting products have shown to have a short effective life. In fact, microbial regrowth begins shortly after the application of other antimicrobial sprays.
Some products utilize silver-ion technology which has a depot effect. This limits the durability or efficacy of its antimicrobial properties over time. NanoFlex MR with LIQUID GUARD® is permanent due to how it bonds to the surface of the item to which it is applied. The technology behind NanoCare MR is Silicone Dioxide (SiO2). The molecules contained in a thin coating of SiO2 are so sharp, they rupture the cell wall of the microorganisms that land on it thus rendering them harmless. SiO2 itself has been around for a long time. NanoCare has managed to develop the means for how the active ingredient adheres to a surface long term. As such, NanoFlex MR with LIQUID GUARD® provides round-the-clock protection against infections like Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli. The need to use other cleaning agents is therefore eliminated.
NanoFlex MR can be used on practically any surface both indoors and outdoors. Examples of applications include (but not limited to), office environments, amusement parks, public transportation, medical equipment found in healthcare or in medical settings, or any place that colonizes bacteria such as a door handle.
