When formulating a disinfectant product, our primary consideration is its microbiological efficacy. This involves selecting active ingredients that can effectively remove or kill microorganisms based on specific requirements. The choice of actives depends on the intended use of the product and its target market.
The process of formulating a disinfectant product involves several key steps, with a primary focus on microbiological efficacy, application, and the targeted market.
Here’s a breakdown of how we approach the formulation:
Actives are the primary ingredients responsible for the product’s disinfecting properties. The selection of actives varies depending on the product’s purpose.
For examples, ethanol and isopropyl alcohol are common actives in hand sanitizers and some surface disinfectants. In healthcare settings, other actives like benzalkonium chloride, quaternary ammonium compounds, enzymes, glutaraldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and peracetic acid may be used in high-level disinfectants for medical devices.
Selecting suitable actives are depending on the application of our product and its target microbiological efficacy. To understand more, please refer to the page: Products We Formulate.
Excipients: Excipients are secondary ingredients that provide physical properties and additional key attributes to the product without compromising its efficacy. We consider various excipients:
By carefully selecting and combining these raw materials, we create disinfectant products that meet both microbiological efficacy standards and market-specific preferences.
