Virkon® Advanced

Specifically developed to offer improved broad spectrum control against virus families affecting man and animals, Virkon® Advanced has been designed to work on all surfaces including aluminium alloys, chrome and silicone, making it the broad spectrum virucidal disinfectant of choice.

Virkon® Advanced is a new formulation offering users ease of use and enhanced environmental and operator safety profiles, for complete biosecurity control of all types of poultry and animal housing, water delivery systems, farm equipment and vehicles.

Virkon® Advanced is independently proven to have outstanding virucidal activity at low concentrations, using standard protocols applicable to farm disinfection, and against pathogens which have been selected for testing recognising their resilience to disinfection, or importance to livestock production.

Independent evaluation using the new European virucidal test method has shown Virkon® Advanced to be as effective as a glutaraldehyde/QAC solution 15 times more concentrated.  More details available on request.

Virkon® Advanced contains protector corrosion inhibitors and generates a near neutral pH solution.  This, together with the tailored level of actives, gives Virkon® Advanced solutions high compatibility with farm buildings, equipment and vehicles.

Comprehensive testing has demonstrated that, when used as instructed, Virkon® Advanced is compatible with common construction materials, including:

Virkon® Advanced achieves deactivation or destruction of the target organism through general oxidative disruption of key structures and compounds (e.g. proteins and lipids).

There is no evidence of bacterial disease causing organisms developing resistance towards Virkon® Advanced as opposed to other disinfectant types such as Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QAC’s).

Virkon® Advanced is a balanced, stable blend containing a peroxygen compound, corrosion inhibitors, surfactant and organic acids which, when dissolved, generates Peracetic acid.
