LOXYDE HAS LABORATORY PROVEN EFFICACY AGAINST COVID AND HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS EFFECTIVENESS AS A DISINFECTANT WHEN FOGGED.
The Fogging Efficacy of Loxyde Against COVID (& other viruses)
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, rapid and effective disinfection of public spaces is essential. One highly effective method is fogging Loxyde - a stabilised and activated hydrogen peroxide formulation. This method has shown great potential in swiftly sanitizing environments where large groups of people gather, such as shopping centers, public transport, cruise ships, and stadiums.

Testing Loxyde effectiveness
Loxyde has undergone the European standard test: EN 17272 & British standard test: BS EN 172 : 2020
to determine its effectiveness against COVID-19 and its suitability for fogging applications. The goal is to ensure that multi-occupancy enclosed areas can be disinfected quickly, allowing them to be reopened to the public in minimal time.
The Fogging Process
The fogging process with Loxyde includes three critical phases:
-
Treatment Time: This is the duration for which the area is exposed to the fogging process. The effectiveness of the treatment relies on ensuring adequate coverage of the space.
-
Contact Time: This is the period required for Loxyde to achieve a sufficient kill-rate of the virus. This step is crucial to ensure the disinfection is thorough.
-
Aerating Time: After the treatment and contact time, the area needs to be aerated to remove airborne peroxide residuals. With Loxyde, it is possible to completely evacuate and refresh all the air inside the treatment area in under 15 minutes, making the treated area safe for public access within 60 minutes.
Conclusion
The use of Loxyde for fogging represents a significant advancement in the fight against COVID-19 & possibly other viruses in the future, especially in environments where quick turnover is necessary. Its ability to rapidly disinfect, have a surface residual effect that is harmless to any individual and the break down into water and oxygen without leaving any toxic residues or possible allergens make it a safe and effective solution.
