Safe application of BIOXY H in hospital environment

ATOMES FD is a leader in chemical and biotechnological industrial cleaning products. In this project, ATOMES FD will produce BIOXY H, an eco-friendly disinfectant, to study the mechanisms of interaction of BIOXY H with hospital's materials surface. Thus, a complete study about how BIOXY H would affect hospital's materials surface is determinant for BIOXY's H safe use as well as for its improvement. Therefore, Dr. Yahia's team has recently been contacted in order to initiate a collaborative research project to provide outstanding knowledge about the action mechanism of BIOXY H upon hospital's materials surfaces, which are made with vinyl, linoleum, waxed vinyl, stainless steel, glass, melamine, mattress cover, polyvinyl chloride as well as formica. Indeed, understand BIOXY H's action mechanisms at the materials listed above is determinant to provide safe environment disinfection as well as to avoid further attachment of spores, virus as well as, biofilms growth. Wherefore, the principal aim of this research project is to understand mechanisms of action of BIOXY H upon hospital's materials surface and how they would affect its bactericidal properties. Indeed, this study has two specific objectives: the first is to understand the interaction of the product BIOXY H with different surfaces that we find in hospitals and secondly whether these interactions with surface disinfectant change the potential of the product. Economically, this project has huge impact at Global Market of Hospital's Disinfection (sterilization). Such Market is estimated to growth at a steady pace from $ 10.5 billion in 2012 to $ 14 billion in 2017.
