Frequently Asked Questions

Explore detailed responses to frequently asked questions to help you make informed decisions about our products.  

Both biofilm removal and biofilm kill are EPA-regulated terms. The biofilm kill claim only refers to the control of bacteria within a biofilm. This claim only applies to the specific organisms on a product individual label. The biofilm removal claim applies to the removal of biofilm structure from hard surfaces. Sterilex PerQuat products have both biofilm removal and biofilm kill claims.

Sterilex PerQuat Technology’s superior formulation as a tw0-part product allows efficacy against pathogens utilizing lower levels of active ingredients.

When mixed, Sterilex PerQuat foam disinfectants have a pH between 10.4-10.6. Its high buffering capacity allows efficacy in a wider range of water quality.
