Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the difference between biofilm removal and biofilm kill?

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.

Why is it a two-part product?

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

What is the product pH in Solution?

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.
