Supercifies in Contact with Food

Protect your most critical surfaces with PerQuat® technology.

Reduces the Recall Risk

Food contact surfaces are the most critical areas in a plant. They are also labor intensive and difficult to clean.

The PerQuat® technology of Sterilex removes biofilms like no other, and can be applied to food contact surfaces with a rinsing process and a final no-rinse sanitizer.

Increase the Operational Efficiency

Save Time

Speed up your production with first-time quality checks and avoid unnecessary cleaning. In an industrial trial, a yogurt plant saved more than 2,288 hours per year by incorporating Sterilex into its sanitation and disinfection program, achieving a 98% reduction in cleaning time and keeping its lines running longer.

Less Labor

The physical and chemical mechanisms of action of PerQuat technology penetrate and remove biofilms present in hard-to-reach niches in equipment, requiring less manual scrubbing or disassembly. Our customers have seen up to a 75% reduction in labor when using our PerQuat liquid disinfectants instead of intensive disassembly and cleaning procedures.

Increased Mycobacterial Control

PerQuat chemistries are the leading solution for comprehensive control of biofilms, microorganisms and molds. As stated on the label, this technology eliminates pathogens in 10 minutes and is effective against: Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli, Pseudomonas, Campylobacter, Cronobacter, molds and more. See the label for a complete list of organisms.

Increases Yield + Product Quality

Often, when the quality and shelf life of products begins to decline, microorganisms contaminating the environment are the culprit. PerQuat disinfectants eliminate the biofilm matrix, reduce repopulation on treated surfaces and help prolong the shelf life of the final product when used within a sanitation program.

Protects Valuable Equipment

PerQuat technologies increase heat transfer efficiency by removing biofilm on heat transfer surfaces. Biofilms can reduce heat transfer efficiency by 10 to 50% in heat exchangers, pasteurizers, cooling towers and food processing equipment. In addition, the 'Soft Metal Safe' technology helps reduce corrosion and wear and is compatible with a wide range of soft metals such as aluminum.

Reduce risk of Product Recall + protect your brand - Removes Biofilm

The year 2024 was the year with the highest number of recalls product since 2011, with  Salmonella, Listeria, y E.coli as the main culprits. Nearly 60% of all foodborne illness outbreaks are caused by biofilms. Biofilms protect pathogens from disinfection and, without removing the biofilm structure from the surface, they can repopulate within 48 hours. The cost of inaction - of reacting rather than preventing - far outweighs the investment needed to maintain rigorous preventive controls. Biofilm control can reduce product recalls and production losses. The patented PerQuat technology is proven to eliminate biofilms and control their formation when used on a regular basis.
