Penetrexx Antimicrobial with extended protection, is an EPA registered Bio-Static product based on a unique formulation which effectively reduces the risk of cross contamination of a broad spectrum of (odor causing) bacteria, mold, fungi, algae, and yeast on a wide variety of treated substrates. The beauty of this technology is that it inhibits the growth of microorganisms without chemical poisons. Instead, it relies on electrically charged particles that have a unique spiked molecule structure. In nature, most microbes carry the opposite electrical charge…so they are physically and irresistibly drawn into contact with Penetrexx pointed molecules. The physical contact punctures the cell walls of the offending microbes. These molecule spikes are undetectable to human touch, but more than a match for single-cell organisms.
Perfect for use in schools, hospitals, operating rooms, intensive care units, long term care facilities, changing rooms, emergency vehicles, on medical devices and equipment, rest rooms, all businesses, retail, theaters, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, bottling facilities, food service, athletic facilities, fire departments, government buildings, penitentiaries, where public health claims for reducing the risk of cross contamination are required or anywhere you want want extended prevention and protection.
Effective against C.diff, MRSA, VRE, HBV, Salmonella, Listeria, e.Coli, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Acinetobacter Baumannii, Multi-drug resistant bacteria, other bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew, fungi, and more.

How does Penetrexx technology work?
The active ingredient in the Penetrexx Antimicrobial forms a colorless, odorless, positively charged, polymer, which chemically bonds to the treated surface, think of it as a layer of electrically charged swords. When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the “quat” or “sword” punctures the cell membrane and the electrical charge shocks the cell. Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the antimicrobial doesn’t lose strength and the sword is ready for the next cell to contact it. Normal cleaning of treated surfaces is necessary to prevent buildup of dirt, dead microbes, etc. which could cover the “swords”, prohibiting it from killing microorganisms.
What is the difference between Penetrexx and other antimicrobials?
Conventional products are absorbed into living cells and kill by way of poisoning the organism. They are designed to act quickly and dissipate quickly to avoid adverse effects to humans and animals due to their toxic ingredients. Most commercial antimicrobials used for treating building surfaces do a great job of getting a quick kill on bacteria and fungi, although most have a limited spectrum of effectiveness. The Penetrexx Antimicrobial technology takes a totally unique approach, like the conventional methods but it also provides long-term control of growth on treated surfaces. The surface itself is modified to make it actively antimicrobial With no need to reapply for 30-90 days
How long does the treatment last?
Since the cured antimicrobial is non-volatile, insoluble, and non-leaching, the treatment will last until its abraded from the surface. A treated surface’s life span depends on a number of factors, not the least of which is surface preparation. Treating a dirty or unstable surface decreases the effectiveness of the antimicrobial. Abrasive or caustic (pH 12.0) cleaners can shorten the effective life of a treated surface. Although studies have shown some substrates remaining effective for the life of the surface. It is recommended that high touch, high risk surfaces be treated a minimum of every 30 days.
