Ecolab: Synergex Sanitizer Receives EPA Approval For Efficacy Against Biofilms

(RTTNews) - Ecolab (ECL) said the company's Synergex Sanitizer & Disinfectant is the first product to receive U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval for efficacy against biofilms. The company said Synergex Sanitizer & Disinfectant has been developed to kill 99.9999% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Listeria monocytogenes pathogens in biofilms on hard, non-porous food contact surfaces.

"Biofilms are a leading cause of quality issues for food and beverage manufacturers, and until now, they have been difficult to destroy on food-contact surfaces," said Ann Gent, senior vice president and general manager of Ecolab Food and Beverage in North America.
