The new disinfectant kills SARS-CoV-2 in 60 seconds

It is understood that the broad-spectrum disinfectant RuikongTM produced by LANXESS has shown extremely fast efficacy
against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
This is the latest study by
LANXESS.
The study was commissioned by Microbac Laboratories, Inc.
, an independent analytical laboratory, using U.
S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) compliant testing methods for products
that disinfect hard surfaces.

Sharp Control™ quickly and completely inactivates the SARS-CoV-2 virus by diluting it in just 60 seconds at a dilution ratio of 1:100 and diluting it with an economical dilution ratio of 1:600 in just 10 minutes of contact time
.
RuikongTM is a highly concentrated powder disinfectant that dissolves in water and can be used as a spray to spray on hard surfaces and equipment (non-medical).

Therefore, in disinfection measures developed by public transport hubs, airports, hospitals, clinics, shopping centers, etc.
, it helps to reduce the risk of
cross-infection through surfaces such as door handles, tables and chairs.

Anneliese Bischof, Director of LANXESS' Disinfection Business Unit, said: "In this battle against the new coronavirus, there is currently no vaccine or universally recognized drug
.
Therefore, in addition to social distancing and frequent hand washing, disinfection remains an extremely important means of
preventing the spread of this life-threatening respiratory disease.
Bischof also emphasized: "Good hygiene cleaning and disinfection measures are now more important
than ever.
The fact that Sharp ControlTM rapidly inactivates the SARS-CoV-2 virus ensures that the disinfectant products people are using are fast and effective
.
