Hysan G.H. Gel

A no added alcohol hand sanitiser gel containing a skin softener. This water based product is a fast drying hand sanitiser for use in food prep areas, shops, cafes and schools. Hysan Gel removes the need for frequent trips to the wash-room when only hand sanitising is required, rather than hand washing for grime removal.

 

Hysan should not be confused with presently available germicides or  disinfectants that are not effective against spores or very virulent strains  of  bacteria - Hysan is a  complete sterilant.

Hysan will kill, in only 30 seconds, organisms such as Pseudomonas, Clostridium  botulinum & Hong Kong flu virus, as well as more common organisms such as  E. coli 0157, Staphylococcus  Streptococcus & Salmonella. The most resistant strains of fungi such  as Trycophyton interdigitalae, are completely destroyed in 60 seconds. The most  difficult organisms of all   the spore formers , such as Bacillus subtilis are  destroyed in 10 minutes, this is 60 times faster than most chemical sterilants; yet  the compound is safe enough to require no restrictions on non food use.

Medical & Laboratory

Hysan is not only an effective sterilant for medical, surgical & dental instruments, but can also be used in the hospital environment to provide quick, positive sterilisation of all items used in isolation areas, and to decontaminate the isolation rooms themselves. Even the gas gangrene Clostridium spore former will not survive Hysan. Veterinary medicine and commercial laboratories will find Hysan equally valuable for instrument sterilisation, surface disinfection and in biohazardous spill areas.

Industrial

Hysan is as valuable to industry as to medicine. Hysan can be used as a supplementary back up in clean room facilities and to sanitise food plant and other equipment. Apply as a spray or fog to minimise moulds and fungal growth and destroy odours in industrial areas.

General Sanitation

Use as a general sanitiser in kitchens, sick rooms and general Traffic areas. Use as a spray between major clean ups to reduce cross infection and destroy odours. Particularly useful in kitchens and restaurants where there is a high risk of cross-contamination. Hysan is also used in toilets, locker rooms, laundries and refuse disposal areas.

Consumer Product Formulations

Now the benefits of Hysan can be harnessed in areas where use of a liquid sanitiser is not practicable. Hysan can be easily formulated into consumer-based products, including wet-wipes, domestic disinfectants, sanitising & deodorising sprays, pet products and many more, Hysan Powder provides an alternative which is as powerful and easy to use as its  liquid counterpart.

GENERAL INFORMATION

 Hysan  is a new concept in hard surface disinfectants.

This  powerful  Broad Spectrum Disinfectant  combines the sanitising powers Stabilised chlorine dioxide  with a Germicidal di Alkyl quaternary ammonium. The  effect  is synergistic.

Hysan  is  safe  to use and is non toxic as  well  as  low  in sensitivity  and   irritation.  LD 50 tests show it to be  several times less toxic than similar  germicides.

Hysan's ready to use formula avoids mixing errors.
Hysan  is a strong oxidiser and eliminates odours by  chemical oxidation.
Laboratory Tests Show Hysan Kills All Pathogens
Virucidal Activity
The  Hysan  formulation  was tested against  A2/Hong  Kong  68 Influenza  virus,   by two AOAC methods.  (1) direct  dilution  in contaminated growth media,  and (2)  spreading contaminated growth media on cover slips, then spreading sterilant over  the same area with contact  time  of 3 mins. Two  concentrations  were  tested:  20%   solution  and 3.3% solution of Hysan.  Results showed  no growth  in  all  sub  cultures,   concluding  that  20%  and  3.3% solutions are virucidal.
Fungicidal Activity
T.interdigitale was tested against Hysan for contact times  as low  as  1   minute,  using  AOAC  procedures  and  controls.  Two concentrations of Hysan  were tested: 20% and 3.3%. No evidence of  growth  was found in any subculture,   resubculture or  second resubculture,   indicating  that  the  Hysan  formulation    is fungicidal within 1 minute at concentrations as low as 3.3%.
Tuberculocidal Properties
Mycobacterium  smegmatis  was used in the  presumptive  in  vitro screening  test,   by  the official  AOAC  Tuberculocidal  method. Hysan  at  20%  solution,  pH 3.0  was applied in  20  samples. Results were no growth in any subculture or  re-subculture,
Bactericidal Activity
1.65%  and  2.475% solutions of Hysan were tested against  six organisms,  using  AOAC procedures and controls.  Results, were no growth in any test.
Test Organisms                       
Staphylococcus aureus * Escherichia coli * Pseudomonas aeruginosa * Salmonella  choleraesuis * Clostridium perfringens * Clostridium botulinum.
Toxicity and Sensitivity
Tests  as used by the Environment Protection Agency of  HEW  were conducted.  The  LD50 of the Hysan formulation at 100% strength was found to be 3,300 mg/kg,   approximately 7 10 times less toxic than  would  be expected based on other  germicidal  compounds  in general use.  Approved methodology testing shows that Hysan  is not a sensitizing material.
Skin and Eye Irritation
Data was obtained by methods in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide  Act Regulations (7CFR Part 362).  Using the  100% concentrate skin irritation of 2.3  and an expected eye irritation resulted.  The  irritation  disappeared  completely   in  the  six rabbits by the fourth day. Note that these tests were carried out on  the concentrate, in actual use Hysan is diluted to 20%, 10% or less, further  reducing the minimal toxicity of the solution.
