FAQ’s and How To’s
We recommend that you always follow directions on our safety data sheets (SDS) regarding the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
When applied the PPE described on each SDS should be used to meet EPA and OSHA guidelines.
In addition to the directions provided in SDS, the proper use of PPE depends on the environment and contaminant you’re treating. We recommend that you always don PPE when treating an infected or contaminated area.
We make non-alcohol-based hand soap and sanitizer for numerous reasons:
1. Artemis’ foam-based soap and sanitizers have been tested and proven to be nearly twice as effective than alcohol-based products against common germs and viruses.
2. Artemis products are 99% effective against many RNA viruses, including coronaviruses, Norovirus and Norwalk. Alcohol-based products are ineffective against RNA viruses.
3. Artemis soap and sanitizers do not dry out skin like alcohol-based products. Instead, our products moisturize skin while they kill germs.
4. Alcohol-based products are flammable. We scientifically engineered our products to be highly effective and able to be used in venues that do not allow flammable products, such as airports, subways and train stations.
Yes, Artemis hand sanitizer is 99% effective against most common germs.
This study, published in American Journal of Infection Control concluded that the active ingredient in Artemis’ hand sanitizer, BZK (benzalkonium chloride), was nearly twice as effective as alcohol-based hand sanitizers when tested against Staphylococcus aureus.
Bio-Oxygen® Chem Decon is a unique, 2-part formula that is mixed together before use. Part A has an extensive and proprietary list of quat and surfactants. Part B is a commercial-grade Hydrogen Peroxide with penetration and oxidation properties.
When the two parts are mixed together, the result is effective against [Staphylococcus aureus], [[MRSA] [Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus)]], [Staphylococcus epidermidis] [Salmonella enterica] [Pseudomonas aeruginosa] [Klebsiella
pneumoniae] [Proteus mirabilis] [Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis] [Enterobacter aerogenes]
[[Escherichia coli] [(O157:H7)] or [(ESBL)]] [and / or] [Listeria monocytogenes]
