F10®SC is the core disinfectant of the F10® range, and all products in the range have the same core actives as F10®SC.
F10®SC is proven effective, in independent tests, to be a
full spectrum disinfectant, effective against all known types of pathogen.
It is also proven to be environmentally effective against the protozoal oocysts of cryptosporidium, coccidia and giardia.
Products cannot be tested against every single organism and therefore internationally accepted benchmark-organisms are used:
Recommended dilution rates for everyday risks are:
Supervised GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) product specific toxicity tests to OPPTS 870.1000
F10®
works by disrupting the micro-organism's cell membrane, causing it
to rupture and effecting cell death. The cationic detergents are
attracted to the anionic surfaces of micro-organisms, bind to the
phospholipids in the cell membrane and denature the proteins impairing
permeability.
The F10 product range is not tested on animals.
Health and Hygiene, the manufacturers of the F10 disinfectant and treatment range follows the ECHA guidelines regarding toxicity so as to ensure safety whilst avoiding testing on animals. Currently the ECHA (European Chemical Agency) - the regulating authority for all disinfectants put into the EU and UK markets - requires toxicity to be computed from the data provided by the approved raw material manufacturers. Health and Hygiene, as a formulator, take this data and determine toxicity values by applying an ECHA computation so as to avoid animal testing.
