Introducing:
The patented antimicrobial
technology from Virox鈩?
It has long been known that hydrogen peroxide can kill germs without being
harmful to the user. However, up to now, this remarkable chemical has not been
considered stable enough to be practical as the foundation for a system of
commercial disinfectant cleaners. Virox scientists have now developed a way to
put this chemical to work. Accelerated庐 Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP庐) is a stable
cleaning and disinfecting solution with enhanced germicidal activity that is not
harmful to those who use it or to the environment.
Accelerated庐 Hydrogen Peroxide
Virox Technologies Inc. has pioneered the broader acceptance of Hydrogen
Peroxide based products with this patented technology known as Accelerated
Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP). AHP is a synergistic blend of commonly used, safe
ingredients that when combined with low levels of hydrogen peroxide produce
exceptional potency as a germicide and performance as a cleaner.These claims
are all backed with governmental registrations and extensive third party analysis.

and long term healthcare facilities.They have proven successful in fighting VRE,
MRSA and many other resistant organisms.
