F10 SCXD is the same as F10 SC Veterinary Disinfectant in terms of pathogen killing performance, but contains additional surfactants that allow the one-step cleaning and disinfection of lightly soiled surfaces that may be necessary in certain instances.
F10 SCXD is a total spectrum disinfectant that, unlike other strong disinfectants on the market, has no adverse side effects on people, animals, or on equipment and surfaces. It is ecologically friendly and biodegradable and carries a wide range of registrations and approvals from around the world. In Australia, F10SCXD is registered by the APVMA for use in animal production and housing facilities.
Benefits of using F10SCXD Disinfectant/cleanser:
Apart from the superior safety aspect, other benefits of using F10SCXD Disinfectant/cleanser include:
- Total spectrum of kill – bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, sporicidal, tuberculocidal. While many products claim to kill “everything instantly”, the reality is quite different. F10SCXD is a genuine high performance disinfectant, that targets and kills all the of the above groups of microbes.
- Rapid speed of kill – 30 secs Gram +ve bacteria and 60 secs Gram -ve bacteria at a 1:500 dilution. This rapid kill means a quick spray and wipe with F10SCXD Disinfectant/cleanser is actually killing off pathogens like Staphylococcus and E.coli.
- Unique chemical compound based on biguanide/quaternary ammonium actives combination - less chance of resistance build up than with a single active ingredient.
- Cost effective - usage cost varies from 13c to 54c per diluted litre depending on concentration used (generally 40% of the cost of Virkon). F10SCXD Vet Disinfectant is also considerably less expensive than other products that share similar ingredients, due to F10SCXD Vet’s far greater dilution rate.
- Non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-tainting, non-irritating, totally safe to handle and not hazardous.
- Biodegradable and given an EU Ecological rating of "zero hazard" (suitable for septic systems too)
- Diluted F10SCXD in a closed container, such as a spray bottle, remains active for up to 1 year – no need for weekly replacement of made up solution
- Highly effective at low concentrations
- Proven in a wide range of different pharmaceutical, SPF, agricultural, food processing and laboratory applications
