Breaks down into oxygen and water

OxyBAC combines Deb Foam Technology with Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP) to create a non-ionic surfactant based rich-cream foam that addresses the concerns of existing biocidal actives.

'The active power of OxyBAC is hydrogen peroxide which breaks down into water and oxygen after use,' says Dr John Hines, R&D director at Deb.

'Also, when AHP comes into contact with germs, it releases free-radicals which act nonspecifically on multiple cell targets to kill germs in such a manner that prevents antibacterial resistance.' Deb's R&D team has been working for over eight years to perfect the science of incorporating AHP into a foaming hand wash formula that, apart from being highly efficacious, also has good skin feel during and after use.

'Independent test laboratories have shown that OxyBAC will kill 99.999 per cent of many bacteria in just 30 seconds,' says Dr Pierre Grascha, chief scientist at Deb.

OxyBAC is also available in a perfume-free format which is non-tainting to food.
