1 The New Choice in Disinfection Technology

2 Introducing The New Choice in Disinfection Technology Accel TB Is A Powerful Disinfectant Against: VIRUCIDAL: 1 Min. at 20 C Proven effectiveness against the Polio Virus, Sabin strain type 1 (ATCCVR-192) and allows for a General Virucide claim against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. Human immunodeficiency virus, HIV BACTERICIDAL: 1 Min. at 20 C Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) Salmonella choleraesuis (ATCC 10708) TUBERCULOCIDAL: 5 Min. at 20 C Mycobacterium terrae (ATCC 15755) FUNGICIDAL: 10 Min. at 20 C Trychophyton mentagrophytes (ATCC 9533) BROAD-SPECTRUM SANITIZING: 30 Sec. at 20 C Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) Salmonella choleraesuis (ATCC 10708) Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 33592, Gentamycin and Methicillin resistant MRSA) Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 51575, Vancomycin resistant, VRE) Acinetobacter baumanii info@contecinc.com

3 What is? Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP) is a patented, colorless liquid cleaning and disinfecting solution developed by Virox Technologies Inc. AHP is a synergistic blend of commonly used, safe ingredients that when combined with low levels of hydrogen peroxide, dramatically increase its germicidal potency and cleaning performance. AHP contains only those ingredients listed on the FDA GRAS listing (Generally Regarded As Safe) and the EPA and Health Canada s inert lists, contributing to an unsurpassed health, safety and environmental profile. How does AHP work? The accelerated activity of AHP is the outcome of a unique synergy between hydrogen peroxide and other inert ingredients including surfactants and sequestering agents. This synergy greatly increases the kinetics of the action against pathogenic organisms and reduces the time required for decontamination. What is Accel TB? Accel TB is an EPA registered intermediate level disinfectant used on environmental surfaces in cleanrooms, laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturing, compounding pharmacies, animal labs and other facilities where short contact time is beneficial. This product is based on Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide technology developed by Virox Technologies Inc. and marketed by Contec, Inc. Why choose AHP and Contec? Virox s AHP disinfection technology has been in successful use in major institutions for the past five years. The technology has proven itself time and again as a more effective, safer solution to the problems of disinfection. Contec is a recognized leader in critical cleaning supplies for controlled environments. Our technical sales and support teams are available to visit your facility and discuss your specific applications. We can recommend and demonstrate the best procedures for cleaning and decontaminating your cleanroom. Virox s AHP and Contec products offer the best solution to your critical needs info@contecinc.com 2

4 What are the features and benefits of Accel TB? FASTER CLEANER SAFER RESPONSIBLE Realistic Contact Better Cleaning Safer for Users and Reduced Environ- Times Efficiency Occupants mental Load RESULT RESULT RESULT RESULT Compliance Added Confidence Healthier Sustainability BENEFIT BENEFIT BENEFIT BENEFIT Disinfects a broader spectrum of organisms. Short contact times ensures user compliance. Chemicals that are safer for users and occupants provide for a healthier indoor environment. Better cleaning efficiency results in added confidence that disinfection can occur. In addition, Accel TB leaves minimal residues on the surface being cleaned. Reducing the load on the environment whenever possible is a responsible thing to do. Sustainable solutions contain safer ingredient choices. Virox s AHP disinfection technology is compatible with common cleanroom surfaces stainless steel, aluminum, glass and most polymer materials info@contecinc.com

6 Why choose Accel TB? Short Contact Times No Active Residuals Excellent Health & Safety Profile Superior Environmental Profile Realistic contact times against a wide-variety of pathogens provides confidence that the decontamination is successful. Effective against TB and other difficult-tokill pathogens. Active ingredient breaks down to water and oxygen, and will not lead to resistant strain development. Maximum indoor air quality. No exposure to noxious fumes. Occupants and users not exposed to VOCs (volatile organic compounds). May be disposed in accordance with local regulations. Accel TB decomposes rapidly in a wastewater facility.
