What is SHIELDme Disinfectant?

SHIELDme Disinfectant is an Electronically Activated Water containing Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) as active ingredient, this formula was declared by FDA on 2002 as a high level disinfectant. SHIELDme is in compliant with British Standards & European Norms BSEN 14476, 14204, 1276, 13704, 13697 & 1656.

SHIELDme Disinfectant is fast and effective and instantly kills 99.99% of harmful bacteria and viruses on surfaces. Non-Alcoholic, Non-Irritating and Non-Flammable. SHIELDme contains no preservatives, fragrances or essential oils.

SHIELDme Disinfectant is produced from three everyday components: water, food grade salt, and electricity. SHIELDme Disinfectant is a stable packaged Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), an environmentally friendly biocide which represents a monumental step forward in health care and hygiene.

Why haven’t I seen this before?

Hypochlorous was discovered in the 19th century by a British scientist. It was actually manufactured for the first time in the 1960’s. There was always a problem however in that no one was able to make a stable version that had a shelf life so it could be packaged. The only organisations that could take advantage of this incredible product were large scale industrial and agricultural operations such as dairy and poultry units, where they produced non-stable Hypochlorous onsite for immediate use. Our team and the scientists have worked out how to stabilise the active ingredient so we can now make it available to everyone.

What is the pH of SHIELDme?

The pH of SHIELDme Disinfectant is neutral at pH7. This means it won’t sting.

Will it make my clothes smell?

No.

I have asthma. Is it safe?

Consult physician.

How green is the solution?

It is Eco friendly, it turns to saline.

Is this suitable for vegans please?

The ingredients are water, salt and Hypochlorous acid only. None of which have been derived from animals.

How often would you have to apply this disinfectant in order to ensure that there are no viruses or bacteria on the surface?

In other words, how long would the protection from bacteria and viruses last?

As long as no contamination comes again in contact with the same surface. Some other chemical/Alcoholic disinfectant manufacturers claim that they are effective for longer time, but the truth is that it is chemical compounds and the exposure to it, is much dangerous if they are available on the surface.

By using the Fogger, will this affect the Fire Alarm in the building?

Do not apply the fog directly to smoke detectors. Typical application is to direct the fogger’s nozzle 45 degree toward surfaces need to be disinfected and by taking into consideration that the disinfectant is a (99.5%) water having a considerably heavy weight droplet that naturally falls by gravity on surfaces, therefore fogging the disinfectant will not trigger the intelligent fire alarm system.

Why does SHIELDme have a spa-like odor?

SHIELDme contains HOCL, which is made by ionization of salt and water, this is what causes an odor similar to that of a spa, however, it disappears after only few seconds.

Where can I buy SHIELDme from?

We were recommended the Shield fogging system by a colleague from another boarding school, a great recommendation the equipment has become an invaluable part of our cleaning and disinfection regime. It is a simple piece of kit, but allows us to disinfect large or small areas quickly and efficiently. We have saved countless hours of extra labour, and it allows us to operate with the knowledge that we are keeping our community as safe as we can.
