Fertőtlenítők

Disinfectants are cleaning chemicals used to eliminate harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, on a range of different surfaces. This ensures a sanitary environment in domestic, industrial, commercial, and healthcare environments. Some disinfectants may have a hazard pictogram on the packaging. Visit our UK REACH page for more information and expertise. Disinfectants come in Ready To Use formulation to save time, or Concentrated formulations for cost effective cleaning.

When selecting disinfectants, there are some considerations to be taken into account. The first is the surface the disinfectant is to be used on. You should ensure the product can be used on the surface you require it to be used on. Another consideration is the container type and the size of the product. Spray bottles are ready to use and can be used immediately, whereas larger bottles need to be diluted to be used (or in some cases, they can be used neat), which requires additional time. A final consideration would be the fragrance of the product. You may want to opt for a scented disinfectant such as Pine, Cotton, or Lemon. Alternatively, you may require Fragrance Free disinfectants in areas with stringent health and safety codes.

FAQs

Are disinfectants and antiseptics the same thing?

Although disinfectants and antiseptics provide the same function (prevent and inhibit microbial growth), they are not the interchangeable. Antiseptics are designed to be used on skin and living tissue, whereas disinfectants are to be used on inanimate objects.

Are disinfectants germicides?

Disinfectants can be germicides, but it depends on the formulations and the compatible applications of the product. This information can be found on the packaging as well as the material safety datasheet (MSDS).
