Aeris Environmental Ltd. announced that it has now been granted extended residual protection claims in Australia. These claims are the result of extensive independent scientific testing, validating that Aeris Active provides demonstrated efficacy and proven ability to kill COVID-19 for up to seven days on surfaces, together with an approved residual antibacterial efficacy for up to 30 days (or 200 touches) against the test organisms of gram-negative E. coli and gram-positive S. aureus'. Aeris believes it has now established the new `gold standard' in environmental hygiene, with products that are effective in a single-step application, that have been tested in Option B `dirty conditions' and meeting the hospital grade disinfectant standards. Importantly, Aeris Active offers validated residual protection on surfaces and is not only effective in killing COVID-19 (in one minute), but also offers residual protection of the surface, `actively' killing COVID-19 for up to seven days and offering residual antibacterial protection for up to 30 days (or 200 touches) against gram-negative E. coli and gram- positive S. aureus".
