Virkon S

With demand soaring, Lanxess began air-freighting Virkon to China  instead of shipping it “getting it to customers within a week, rather  than 30 to 45 days. Lanxess also installed a second shift, doubled  capacity at the factory making Virkon in Sudbury, England, and is  leaning on other European production sites. Bischof predicts sales will  remain high for the foreseeable future. Demand is here to stay at least for this year, if not going forward,â€� she says. The topic of  disinfection is present in people™s minds now.” With Gerald Porter Jr. and Thomas Buckley.

Chloramine T or Halamid

Why you should use Halamid^®.

Because our disinfectant Halamid^® is proven effective in killing the Corona virus.

Because Halamid^® is safe to handle, not corrosive to equipment and effective against a large range of microorganisms.  This broad range effectivity is important because other pathogens may  cause secondary infections once the person has been weakened by  infection with the coronavirus.

Where you should use Halamid^®.

Disinfection of places where possibly affected people are present  (eg. hospitals) is obviously very important. It should take place as  often as possible, and certainly once a day at the very minimum.

It is also important to regularly disinfect other public places.  Attention should be paid to public buildings (schools, airport, train  stations, commercial centres, restaurants and so on) and public  transport among others. Private places should also be disinfected,  especially if the virus is present in the region. Each person should  disinfect its own place on a regular basis. Special attention should be  paid to toilets, bathroom, kitchen and doorknobs.

How you should use Halamid^®.

Halamid^® is used as a solution €“ the powder  easily dissolves in water €“ and solutions are very stable if stored away from heat and light. Dirt protects the virus, so a thorough cleaning  preceding disinfection will give the best results. The recommended dose  is 1% with a contact time of 30 min. A Halamid^® solution can be rinsed, mopped or sprayed. We advise to use at least 150 ml/m².

HALAMID® IN HEALTH CENTERS AND PUBLIC AREAS

The use of Halamid® is however not limited to general disinfection: it can also be used for disinfection of hands, helping to reduce skin contamination and prevent bacteria and viruses spreading.

APPLICATIONS

General disinfection

Disinfect the rooms, surface and equipment with a 0.5% Halamid® solution. In case of HIV contamination, the World Health Organization recommends to use a 2% Halamid® solution for safety reasons.

Hand disinfection

Microorganisms are easily transmitted from place to place or between people by hands. Therefore hand hygiene is of major importance in hospital. A 1% Halamid® solution is very effective to reduce the microbial flora on the hands, thus limiting risk of contamination.

Hydrotherapy

Halamid® is used in hydrotherapy at a concentration of approximately 200 ppm to reduce the bacterial load in water.

Air conditioning systems

These systems may be contaminated by Legionella pneumophila. Halamid® proved to be very effective against the bacteria and of special interest to avoid legionellose infection. For more details on this application, please refer to the specific technical bulletin.

Product stability for Chloramine T

See: http://www.halamid.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/TB_Stability.pdf

Halamid® (chloranine T) has a shelf life of two years after production date when stored it in the closed original packaging, in a cool and dry place, away from direct sun light and heat.

The available data show that Halamid® solutions prepared with clean water and store away from light and heat are very stable, which makes possible to prepare stock solutions.

Influence of temperature

Even at elevated temperature, Halamid® solutions show good stability. For example, after 4 weeks at 40oC, only 2% of activity is lost.

Influence of pH

Under neutral / alkaline pH condition, the Halamid® solution is very stable. Under acidic conditions, Halamid® is degraded, one of the reasons why acidic compounds should not be mixed with Halamid® in formulations.

Tap water is generally neutral or alkaline.
