Significantly higher coverage than the market standard The sustainable Bacillol® wipes from HARTMANN also stand up to comparison in terms of coverage: with an average coverage of 1.5 square metres per wipe, both the new Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Green Tissues and the Bacillol® Zero Tissues launched last autumn wiped a significantly larger area in tests than conventional standard PET wipes (market standard: 1.0 and 1.1 square metres respectively). The average coverage of pre-impregnated disinfectant wipes can be determined using standardised procedures by specialist testing and textile laboratories. A tissue is wiped over a standardised surface under controlled conditions until the liquid film breaks. The size of the wetted area is then determined. No compromises: as effective and material-friendly as ever There is no need for users to be concerned that the environmental benefits of the product are at the expense of their effectiveness and material compatibility: The new generation of Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues offers the same proven performance as our classic product. Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Green Tissues is bactericidal and yeasticidal within one minute. The tissues are effective against noroviruses within two minutes. Their great material compatibility makes them suitable for sensitive materials such as displays, keyboards, mobile phones or tablets, as well as for sensitive, non-invasive medical devices. The wipes are also easy and safe to use: the world‘s leading testing, inspection, and certification company, SGS Institut Fresenius, certifies the Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues having excellent skin compatibility. According to ECARF certification, it is a professional allergy- and asthma-friendly surfaces disinfectant. For disinfecting large areas: Bacillol® Zero Tissues will also come in XL The Bacillol® Zero Tissues launched last autumn, will be available in a larger XL format at the end of this year. The new wipes will measure 20 x 30 centimetres. This makes them ideal for disinfecting larger surfaces. In October, HARTMANN launched a new generation of professional disinfectant wipes that set new standards in terms of sustainability on several levels: The disinfectant effect of Bacillol® Zero Tissues is based on a novel, patented active ingredient complex of organic acids that also occur in nature: the organic acid complex. Alcohols, QACs and peroxides are not used. In total, 98.5% of the ingredients in the finished formulation are of organic origin. The environment also benefits from other properties: The disinfectant wipes of the product are made from regenerated and bio-based fibres derived from the natural polymer cellulose. The flexible packaging foil of the Bacillol® Zero Tissues is also made from pure polypropylene (monofoil). This means that the plastic packaging is fully recyclable. KNOWLEDGE 21
