Eco-Germ O Kill is a water-based disinfectant consisted of Quaternary Ammonium Chloride (QAC) as an active ingredient. Disinfectants work wonders against the spread of viruses that get transferred through contact. As per the United States, Environmental Protection Agency, 0.08 – 0.1 % of QAC is very effective against novel coronavirus. EPA (USA) has approved Ecolab product (Multipurpose disinfectant cleaner) having 0.08% concentration of QAC (after dilution) as a COVID-19 disinfectant. The Eco-Germ O Kill requires a few minutes to kill the pandemic virus.

How does it work?

CORONAVIRUS is said to have a membrane of oily lipid molecules, which is loaded with proteins that helps breeding virus on surfaces and cells. The disinfectant holds a hybrid structure with hydrophobic and hydrophilic ends to pause the spread of the virus. The disinfectant destroys the virus when the hydrophobic tails wedge themselves into the lipid membrane and pry it apart. The disinfectant then traps dirt and fragments of the eradicated virus in tiny bubbles called micelles, which can easily be washed away with water.

Active Ingredients

The core ingredients of Eco-Germ O Kill (used for multipurpose disinfection and sanitization) are Quaternary Ammonium Chloride (0.8 %), a mixture of Non-Ionic Surfactants (2 %), tetra potassium pyrophosphate, Tri Sodium Citrate, & Sterilized water. The dilution ratio of Eco-Germ O Kill is 100 ml in 1 L water. Therefore, the concentration of active ingredient QAC is 0.08%.
