Other types of active ingredients found in disinfectants are phenolic compounds and oxidants.
Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, is one of the oldest antiseptic agents.
Huvepharma's phenolic range - Prophyl®
Prophyl® 75 combines two phenolic derivatives: chlorocresol and chlorophene
Prophyl® S is a synergistic combination of chlorocresol and glycolic acid
The powerful lipophilic activity of phenolics allows product diffusion through even the thickest cell membranes (e.g., bacteria, yeasts, fungi, mycobacteria, oocysts). This property gives Prophy® the broadest spectrum among the different biocide families.
In addition to its broad spectrum, two unique characteristics of Prophyl® are its:
- efficacy in the presence of organic matter (including high soiling level conditions)
- long lasting action
Prophyl® 75 and Prophyl® S are particularly suited to use in:
- the destruction of coccidia and cryptosporidia oocysts (Figure 1)
- biosecurity barriers (e.g., footbaths (Figure 2), wheel dips, environmental disinfection) and for the disinfection of surfaces loaded with organic matter
Oxidizers
There are two types of oxidizing disinfectants in the Huvepharma® hygiene product range.
Aeroclean® - a peroxide disinfectant
Hydrogen peroxide generates free radicals (hydroxyl OHo and superoxide Oo) which destroy membrane phospholipids, DNA, and enzymes.
Our new generation disinfectant product, Aeroclean®, combines hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid to provide an optimal acidic environment for the release of the oxidizing radicals and the biocide efficacy.
Aeroclean® is designed for:
- airborne disinfection: it exhibits rapid and complete diffusion in the air by cold nebulization (Figure 3), by evaporation at 35oC and by thermal fogging.
- optimal biocidal efficacy
- an ecotoxicological profile, allowing for disinfection even in the presence of animals
With bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and yeasticidal activities at low concentrations, Aeroclean® is recommended for applications in hatcheries and egg disinfection, for the disinfection of premises (PT2 / PT3 / PT4) and can be used in organic production.
Iodol® 100 - iodine
Iodol® 100 is an iodophor, iodine stabilizer that:
- increases the solubility and dispersion of iodine, optimizing its penetration into cells
- constitutes an iodine reserve which increases persistence of activity
- is not irritating or toxic at recommended concentration levels
Iodol® 100 is formulated with food grade phosphoric acid for optimal descaling and disinfectant activity, and can be used for:
- disinfection and descaling of pipes during the period when animals are not in situ
- disinfection and acidification (giving a probiotic effect) in animal drinking water
