MICROBIOSTATIC AGENT

A Silicone Quaternary Ammonium Salt

ProGienics BioStat is a MICROBIOSTATIC AGENT. This Silicone Quaternary Ammonium Salt is used for all types of mold remediation.

ProGienics is totally water based. Once applied to a surface (porous or nonporous) the ProGienics molecule bonds strongly with the surface. ProGienics sets up molecular spikes similar to a “bed of nails”.

Microbes that land on this “bed of nails” are impaled, rupturing the cell wall and causing the demise of the microbe. These microbial swords are about one thousandth the width of a human hair. No poisons or toxic chemicals are utilized that can cause mutation or adaptive changes in the microbes. The end result is a reduced risk of cross contamination and microbial growth. The cleaning process is improved and enhanced over an extended period of time.

What is Creating This Need?

According to the World  Health Organization, infection is the #1 caused of death worldwide and the #3 cause of death in the United States. Twenty-five years ago 90% of infections could be controlled by antibiotics. Today that number is less than 50%. US News and World Report says $50 billion or more is spent each year by US businesses due to absenteeism. Today’s chemicals, disinfectants and sterilants are causing microorganisms to mutate creating “superbugs”.

Mold is now considered a greater threat than asbestos and is far more prevalent. The CDC tells us that 80% of infection is passed by human hands.

Protectant nanotechnology represents a paradigm shift in chemical thinking. ProGienics offers the first safe and effective long term antimicrobial protection.

	Touch-Points & Microbial Attack
	Touch-Points are places touched by several persons multiple times per day. Control of contamination and surface damage caused by bacteria, mold and mildew are a serious concern for everyone.
	Touch-Points (human contact), floors, ceilings, overhead pipes, passageways, process walls and doors are reservoirs for damaging and dangerous bacteria. It is a known fact that these microbes can live on surfaces that appear to be clean. Microbial growth can be activated by high moisture or temperature elevations. Standard cleaning and sanitizing protocols are often ineffective in controlling the growth of microorganisms.
	There are two problems that are often caused by common cleaning chemicals; first is the adaptive nature of microorganisms to chemical attack. These microbes are becoming increasingly more difficult to destroy. The surviving microbes begin reproducing rapidly. Secondly, chemical residues and dead microbes become a food source for new microbes to feed upon and grow exponentially.
