Frequently Asked Questions
The F.A.Qs and Answers are based on the best available information and will be updated from time to time
Question: Does the extended protection time mean that I can clean less often?
Answer: The short answer is no. Extended protection without reapplication means you have antimicrobial protection on surfaces per lab and field testing results typically for up to a month (depending on the product used) before you have to reapply. Your regularly scheduled cleanings should still be done to keep a clean surface for the Zetrisil process of physically killing pathogens is working at its best.
Question: Are alcohol-free hand sanitizers with Benzalkonium Chloride as effective as alcohol?
Answer: The short answer again is yes. In a study published by The Journal of Hospital Infection, alcohol-free alternatives were tested and found to be extremely effective against SARS-CoV-2 (established as the progenitor of the coronavirus). A copy of this published study and additional studies or technical information concerning alcohol-free hand sanitizers is posted under the "Science" tab on this website. The My-Shield hand sanitizer has passed dozens of studies and with exceptional performance in the field, it is FDA-approved for OTC use.
Question: How is the My-Shield antimicrobial EPA-registered disinfectant applied?
Answer: You can use a standard fine mist spray bottle for everyday application. Either of the My-Shield disinfectants can be used for a daily cleaner or an extended time protection product that lab study results show a high efficacy kill rate of 99% after a single application for 28 days. Daily cleaning performed like any other spray & wipe product. The other option is to use an electrostatic sprayer (sold separately from another vendor) which is the most complete coverage possible.
Do My-Shield sanitizers and disinfectants give off gases during or after application?
No, they do not. They do not leach onto other surfaces or off-gas onto other surfaces or in the environment. The proprietary formulation establishes an antimicrobial barrier on the surface.
The cured antimicrobial product's life span depends on a number of factors. Part of the challenge of longevity is how was the surface prepared and cleaned. Treating a dirty or unstable surface decreases the effectiveness of the antimicrobial. Abrasive or caustic cleaners can shorten the effective life of a treated surface. Therefore, the My-Shield sanitizing product designed for longevity should not have to be reapplied approximately every 28 days depending on these factors.
Question: Is the Zetrisil® nanotechnology a quaternary compound?
Answer: The Zetrisil® proprietary formula is not a quaternary compound but it is combined with conventional quaternary compounds to create an exceptionally strong covalent bond with surfaces which establishes a barrier for pathogens not to survive any contact with it for an extended period of time.
How long can the My-Shield disinfectant products keep killing germs?
