One thing that has been able to get lots of media coverage and has created
hysteria among people is swine flu. It has been a cause of huge panic among
the masses since April 2009 when the first few cases were detected in Mexico.
The flu is contagious in nature and spreads from person to person. There is a
need for some effective bactericidal cleaner that can kill such bacteria and
viruses and keep you safer. One such product on offer at the moment is
SMITTSTOP which has long term effectiveness against harmful bacteria and
viruses.
According to a new research published by University of Otago, Wellington, the
swine flu virus is more contagious than it was previously thought and is
spreading faster. According to research every person who has swine flu can
pass it to two other people on an average. It spreads in same way as ordinary
colds and flu. If you are within a meter or 3 meters from the person who coughs
or sneezes, then you are a possible destination for the virus. Similarly a person
who coughs or sneezes and touches any surface, transfers it easily to the
surface. If you touch the same surface that patient touches like door handles,
phones, keyboards and then touch your face then the virus can enter your
system and you may be infected. The flu virus usually lives on a hard surface
for about 24 hours and on a soft surface for about 20 minutes. The people who
are infected may be infectious soon after they develop symptoms. They may
spread the virus for up to five days and for seven days in children. There are
different medical masks that that are being used to prevent easy transfer of
virus.
Swine flu being highly contagious, there needs to be an effective bactericidal
cleaner that would help kill it. Most cleaners that are available are anionic. There
is a growing need for cleaners like cationic polymers. It is a novel technology
that can be used around the world in places like hospitals and even public
places to prevent contamination. At the moment Smittstopp spray seems to be
the only cationic, bactericidal cleaner with long term effectiveness. It can be
sprayed on surfaces to be cleaned and it may be able to disinfect and kill virus
and bacteria in 1 second. When sprayed on an area to be cleaned it leaves a
molecular thin layer of positively charged polymer which attracts virus like that of
swine flu. Even if you touch such an area which has the disinfectant and has
been touched by an infected person, the virus may not be transferred as the
virus would break and die. The cationic polymers technology has the potential to
be effectively used on protective material, medical devices, cleaning and
personal hygiene products, filter material, medical devices, etc, where bacterial
contamination needs to be avoided.
Smittstopp is the only spray that is being offered at the moment, though efforts
are on by the company to develop some other effective disinfectant products like
soaps. They are also offering good quality masks on the web shop
allfreightfree.com. The mask has a ventilator which enables you to breath easy
even while working or moving up the stairs and so on.
The cationic polymer cleaner Smittstopp seems to be a very good disinfectant
spray to help reduce the spread of the swine flu virus. The technology may be a
wonderful idea for a wide range of material and products to ensure protection
from a variety of infections.
