Surface Defence SD ST (90 Days) 500Ml

A recent test to show the efficacy of SD against the corona virus was conducted by an independent laboratory at the Nebraska Medical Centre in the USA. We are pleased to confirm these tests have conclusively shown SD to be effective against the coronavirus.

In the tests SD was applied to a several glass surfaces and the virus was introduced to these surfaces at varied time intervals, so far only up to 7 days. The results have proven that when Coronavirus is exposed to an SD treated surface for greater than 20 minutes, there is a 99% reduction (Log 2) of the virus on that surface.

Tests are ongoing but we expect to see the same results after much longer durations, we’ll keep you posted as the test results continue to be released.

We had test results against other viruses and bacteria over much longer durations and it is pleasing to see these results are being mimicked on public enemy number 1, the Corona Virus!
