BRUSSELS, Sept 24 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Durable surface protection is now within easy reach with Actizone(TM), a

patented technology that delivers 24-hour antimicrobial performance.

Solvay is proud to introduce Actizone(TM) [https://www.solvay.com/en/brands/actizone-disinfection-that-lasts?utm_source=PR%20Newswire&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Actizone%20Launch&utm_content=Actizone ], a line of ready-to-use products and ingredients that provides rapid

germ-kill to protect consumers from harmful bacteria and viruses, including the

coronavirus. Actizone(TM) technology also provides 24-hour surface protection

to continuously kill 99.9% of bacteria on a range of surfaces.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers and businesses alike have

been searching for ways to uphold health standards and feel protected in an

uncertain world. "Our Actizone(TM) technology continues working long after

surfaces have been cleaned, so businesses and consumers can enjoy peace of mind

and feel confident knowing they are protected from bacteria for a full 24 hours," said

Michael Radossich, President of Solvay's Novecare Global Business Unit.

In response to consumers' collective desire for a safer future across the globe

and to businesses' efforts to overcome the effects of COVID-19, Solvay launches

Actizone(TM), a combination of a proprietary long-lasting polymer, a

state-of-the-art cleaning system, and industry-standard antimicrobial actives.

"I'm proud of our teams, their ingenuity and the collaborative spirit they've

shown in delivering our customers* such a breakthrough innovation," continued

Radossich. "With Actizone(TM), our goal is to help our customers navigate

through this unprecedented period, ensuring the safety of our communities and

supporting the responsible restart of the global economy."

Actizone(TM) technology traps antimicrobial actives to form a protective film

on surfaces. The actives initially kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses and go on

to deliver 24-hour antibacterial protection and peace of mind to consumers

while ensuring excellent shine and a residue-free finish.  

Solvay's Actizone(TM) technology is reliable across multiple surfaces,

including polycarbonate, glass, laminates, and metal, so users can feel

confident in Actizone(TM) disinfection from the office to the airport and back

home. Additionally, Actizone(TM) products eliminate the need for continual

antibacterial cleanings throughout the day, so consumers and businesses can

devote more time to contributing to a better future.
