Nuevo contains a mixture of active ingredients, including biguanide polymer and Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QAC’s or Quats) which act together to give a rapid kill of a wide range of microbes; including bacteria, bacterial endospores, viruses, and fungi ( moulds and yeasts) at low concentrations.
Nuevo retains its effectiveness in ‘hard’ water, does not cause surface streaks and is low in foaming. At normal-use concentrations Nuevo can be used and handled with PPE and is environmentally friendly: containing no alcohol, VOCs, Chlorine, peroxgens or formaldehyde.
BIGUANIDES
Biguanides are widely used as a disinfectant for medical / dental utensils and trays, wound dressings and fabrics, farm equipment, hard surfaces in the food industry, hospitals and drinking water for farm animals. They are also used as a biocide for swimming pool treatments. As a preservative, biguanides can be found in many cosmetics, including personal care products, fabric softeners, contact lens solution and hand washes/wipes. The biguanide polymer used in NuevoAgri is rapidly gaining acceptance in the medical field as the first choice for the treatment of locally infected and critically colonised wounds. It is also recommended for wound washing.
QACs
QACs are also widely used as disinfectants and are the active ingredients in a wide range of household and janitorial cleaning products. They are also used in solutions used for sterilizing medical and dental instruments. QACs are also widely used as preservatives in eye drops, nasal sprays and mouth washes, and as biocide in a number of industrial processes (water treatment, paper processing and wood preservation). QACs also behave as detergents providing a foaming and cleansing action when used in personal care products for skin and hair: the QACs condition the hair, leave the skin feeling soft, and both protected by an antiseptic/antimicrobial coating.[/fusion_text]
