Superbug resistant Hygienilac is a great British success story. It’s a remarkable British product which is already providing unmatched levels of protection from infection in hospitals, care homes, nurseries, schools, offices and in people’s homes up and down the country.

Quite simply, it kills superbugs. In fact, it’s proven to kill 99.9% of almost all species of bacteria, including the deadly
MRSA, salmonella and E.coli, and goes on killing them for the lifetime of the additive for up to ten years.

Completely harmless to us, deadly to superbugs

It is also non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic and non-skin sensitising. It is even approved by the FDA and HSE for indirect or incidental
contact with food. In other words, it is completely harmless to us, but unique and devastatingly effective against these bacteria:

MRSA

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It is also called oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

C DIFFICILE

A Clostridium difficile infection is a bacterial infection that can affect the digestive system, and most commonly affects people who have been treated with antibiotics. The symptoms of a C. difficile infection can range from mild to severe.

E COLI

E. coli is a type of bacteria that lives in your intestines and in the intestines of animals. Although most types of E. coli are harmless, some types can cause bloody diarrhoea and even kidney failure and death.

SALMONELLA

The Salmonella enterica bacterium can cause Salmonellosis, a type of food poisoning. Young children, older adults and people who have impaired immune systems are the most likely to have severe infections.

LISTERIA

Listeria is a bacterium found in soil, water and some animals, including poultry and cattle. It is unlike many other germs because it can grow even in the cold temperature of a refrigerator.

STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS

Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacterium which causes skin infections, pneumonia, food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome and blood poisoning. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus or MRSA is resistant to certain antibiotics, making infections harder to treat.

ACINETOBACTER

Acinetobacter is a group of bacteria commonly found in soil and water. Acinetobacter baumannii accounts for about 80% of reported infections which typically occur in intensive care units and healthcare settings housing very ill patients.

KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE

Klebsiella is a type of bacterium that can cause different types of healthcare-associated infections, including pneumonia, bloodstream infections, wound or surgical site infections, and meningitis.

ASPERGILLUS NIGER

Aspergillus niger or A. niger is a fungus which causes a disease called black mould on certain fruits and vegetables such as grapes, apricots, onions and peanuts, and is a common contaminant of food.

PSUEDOMONAS AERUGINOSA

Serious Pseudomonas infections usually occur in people in hospital or with weakened immune systems. Infections of the blood, pneumonia, and infections following surgery can lead to severe illness and death in these people.

PENICILLIUM PURPUROGENUM

Penicillium purpurogenum is a plant pathogen infecting strawberries which also produces rubratoxin, a Mycotoxin which can cause damage or injury to the liver. It is a fungus which is most commonly found on cereal grains.

BACILLUS CEREUS

Bacillus cereus or B. cereus is a type of bacteria that produces toxins which can cause diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. These bacteria are present in foods and can multiply quickly at room temperature.

SACCHARMYCES CEREVISIAE

Saccharomyces cerevisiae also known as baker's yeast or brewer's yeast has been mentioned in a growing number of reports as a cause of invasive infection.

MICRO-ORGANISMS

Pathogens are microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses that cause disease. Bacteria release toxins, and viruses damage our cells.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Hygienilac stops the bacteria getting the nutrients they need, with the result that 99.9% simply starve and die within 24 hours. And Hygienilac doesn’t just work once. Thanks to its low water solubility and imperviousness to UV light which stops it breaking down, it goes on working for up to ten years.

There is no discolouration whatsoever as a result of using Hygienilac, so it’s more aesthetically pleasing too.

Proven safe thanks to stringent testing

Antibacterial Hygienilac is non-toxic and toy-safe. It is approved by the FDA, HSE EPA, is BS6250 certified for severe usage and complies with BS EN 71.3. It has been tested by Bodycote Lawlabs and repeatedly been proved to be overwhelmingly effective against a range of bacteria, and by FDAS against C difficile. It has received a point 3 award from the NHS Infection Control Rapid Review Panel (Surface Coating Category).

In short, Hygienilac has been in the UK marketplace for many years and during this time has never received a single technical product complaint.

INDUSTRIES

Protecting hospitality and leisure environments

In hospitality and leisure environments, it’s not just the kitchen where bacteria can multiply and cause infection. Table tops and surfaces in pubs, hotels, restaurants, bars and leisure centres can be just as much a hazard to consumers.

Hygienilac protects all wood surfaces such as furniture, doors, handrails and floors from bacteria. It’s the only product of its kind that can provide long-term protection against superbugs and bacteria, including MRSA, for up to ten years.

It’s believed to be the first biocidally proactive lacquer to be produced in the UK and has been independently certified by one of the most respected microbiological labs in the UK, Bodycote Lawlabs in Birmingham.

Antibacterial Hygienilac can play its part in helping the hospitality sector to achieve the Food Standards Agency’s aims of raising awareness of food hygiene issues among catering businesses and the public, and bringing down the number of food poisoning cases.

If you’re thinking of opening a new venue or refurbishing an existing site, make sure you specify Hygienilac superbug resistant wood lacquer.

Protecting hospitals and care homes

With hospital acquired infections on the increase, including highly resistant superbugs like MRSA, cleanliness in hospitals and care homes is now a massive priority. All of these healthcare environments need long-term protection of furniture and surfaces from antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Antibacterial Hygienilac does just that. It is the only product of its kind that provides long-term protection against antibiotic resistant bacteria, including MRSA, for the lifetime of the lacquer - which could be as long as ten years. It’s a major breakthrough in helping prevent bacteria from multiplying on furniture, surfaces, handrails and doors

It’s the first biocidally proactive superbug resistant lacquer to be produced in the UK and has been independently certified by one of the most respected microbiological labs in the UK, Bodycote Lawlabs in Birmingham.

So when you’re planning a refurbishment in your hospital, health centre or care home, specify Hygienilac antibacterial wood lacquer for all your furniture and fittings.

Protecting schools and colleges

Nurseries, schools and colleges are environments where bacteria can flourish if left unchecked. In fact, in any environment where there are large numbers of people associating in close quarters the chance of infection spreading is high.

In a school, college or university, this not only affects the pupils and students, teachers often have to take time off too, which can be disruptive to course work.

What’s needed is a simple way to protect wood surfaces such as furniture, doors, reception desks, handrails and floors from antibiotic resistant bacteria. Hygienilac has been designed to do just that. A biocidal antibacterial wood lacquer, it’s the only product of its kind that provides long-term protection against antibiotic resistant bacteria, including MRSA, for the lifetime of the lacquer - which can be up to ten years.

So, if you’re planning a new school building or refurbishing your current interiors, you can now recommend a superbug resistant wood lacquer to your architect or designer which will give the added benefit of maximum protection of surfaces particularly doors and handrails against bacterial infection.
