Sterilex Ultra Step®

EPA Reg. #63761-10

Designed for low moisture environments, Sterilex Ultra Step is an EPA-registered dry sanitizer approved to kill pathogens such as ListeriaEscherichia coli (E. coli), and Salmonella on the floor. Sterilex Ultra Step is customized to address sanitation challenges for which routine dry cleaners and unregistered powder products (such as peroxide and dried bleach) are ineffective. Plus, it lasts longer than many competitive products and, in general, can be used at a much lower rate than traditional floor treatments.

The Science

Sterilex Ultra Step is based on our proprietary PerQuat® chemistry. This peroxide and quat-blend dry sanitizer was formulated with an anti-dusting agent and its dust content is equivalent to 0.0014% and considered “nearly dust free” – Category 1 according to the Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council (CIPAC) Method MT 171.1. Additionally, it’s blue colored granules are easily distinguishable from food ingredients.

Sterilex Ultra Step Applications

Sterilex Ultra Step improves sanitation on hard, nonporous, non-food contact surfaces. It is easy to use and can be applied to any floor surface, even during production – saving time and labor costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

This dry sanitizer requires moisture to become active, but this does not have to come from added water. Generally, if there is enough active moisture in an environment to have microbial concerns, there is enough moisture to activate the product to kill those organisms.

In almost all cases no. However, because Quaternary Ammonium is one of the active ingredients in PerQuat sanitizers and disinfectants, there is potential for adverse downstream effects. When the amount to cause damage is calculated, it typically vastly exceeds the quantity on site so there is no real risk of negative impacts. Please reach out to your Sterilex representative with any questions about wastewater systems and Sterilex products.

Most facilities re-apply daily but depending on the amount of foot traffic through an area this amount can vary. Some facilities may need to reapply Sterilex Ultra Step up to once per shift to ensure all footwear is properly covered.
