WELCOME
Our products are all alcohol-free. Why? Because alcohol based gels and sanitisers work to kill bacteria and enveloped viruses for just a few seconds, because they are only active until the alcohol evaporates.
Our products are different. The active ingredients in SANZi products are the latest generation of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QAC). This is the most advanced development of a range of chemicals that have been used in healthcare settings for more than 70 years.
Once applied the active ingredients bond to the surface forming a protective microscopic layer which destroys harmful bacteria and enveloped viruses that continue to come into contact with it.
The process of destroying pathogens using QAC based products is known as Lysis and will continue until the layer has been removed, which will depend upon a number of environmental factors.
Claims of up to 24 hours for hand sanitisers and 30 days for surface sanitisers using QACs as active ingredients may stand up in laboratory conditions but are not considered realistic considering every day wear and tear.
YOU THE PEOPLE!
People want to get their lives back, to return to familiar routines, favourite places and family adventures.
We create products that allow you to get on with your life whilst feeling safe and protected from the spread of bacteria and enveloped viruses. Our products are there to help give peace of mind.
OUR NATIONS BUSINESSES!
Businesses want to protect their customers, protect their staff, and rebuild their industries.
Our products allow businesses to start increasing capacity, increase confidence, rebuild revenues and get back to functioning effectively whilst ensuring safety and protection for all.
We’re learning more and more about bacteria and enveloped viruses such as those that cause COVID-19 every day, as well as the different tools we can all use to protect ourselves from them. With knowledge comes power and with that in mind we’ve created an educational space to give you the low-down on the things you can do to keep yourself and others safe.
Our microbiologists have created a range of advanced, alcohol-free sanitising products. The technology behind these products not only kills 99.99% nasty bacteria and all enveloped viruses on contact but also applies a microscopic protective layer that offers lasting protection throughout the day.
The amount of information available to us regarding the coronavirus is often bewildering and it’s difficult to tell fact from fiction. We promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, meaning any claims we make about our products are backed up by independent testing, certification and scientific literature.
Soap and Water. Strings of lipid fats attach to dirt and pathogens mechanically pulling them off of the skin’s surface and washing them away. This is the most common form of protection advised by the World Health Organisation as soap and water is the most commonly available form of sanitisation all over the world. Washing hands for 15 seconds is shown to remove up to 90% of bacteria on ones hands with that increasing to 99.999% with another 15 seconds (if the correct techniques are used). Note: hand washing should always be used to remove dirt as sanitisers are only able to remove bacteria and viruses that they come into contact with. Both soap and sanitisers should be used synergistically.
Pros:
Cons:
Soap and sinks are not always available throughout the day
Only kills on contact, leaving hands or surfaces free to begin gathering harmful bacteria and enveloped viruses again
If hands are not dried effectively after washing there may still be bacteria and enveloped viruses on the skin
Alcohol has been used as a sanitiser dating back to ancient Egypt, where wine was used to clean wounds. As one of the most common forms of sanitiser, alcohol is usually available in most parts of the world. A solution with at least 60% alcohol kills viruses and bacteria through a process called denaturation. Alcohol molecules bond with the fat (lipid) of enveloped viruses breaking down their protective membranes. The core components of the bacteria are exposed and then dissolve, losing their structure and ceasing to function, killing the bacteria or virus.
Pros:
Reliable form of sanitisation
Does not require water to be available
Cons:
Only kills on contact, leaving hands or surfaces free to begin gathering harmful bacteria and enveloped viruses again
Can irritate and dry out hands when used repeatedly through the course of a day (especially harmful for healthcare workers who have to sanitise with high frequency throughout a day or for those in industries where cuts and scrapes are common such as builders)
Usage and storage can present risks as alcohol sanitisers are highly flammable
Making a positive impact on reducing the spread of harmful bacteria and enveloped viruses. Protecting for longer.
