Controlling Microbes
Transfer Routes in the
US Prison System
Microbes-What Are They?

A minute life form (especially a
disease-causing bacterium) & is found
in almost every habitat in nature.
oIncludes: Bacteria, Mold, Fungi, Algae &
Viruses

Vital to mankind but many cause
dangerous infectious diseases
Microbes-How Do They Grow?
 Food
o Dirt
o Fiber
o Perspiration
 Warm Temperatures
 Moisture (humidity, spills)
 Receptive Surfaces

Constructed to maximize public safety,
not to minimize transmission of disease
Pathogen transmission facilitated by overcrowding, budget cuts, etc
Rapid turnover of prison population
complicates identification & treatment of
disease resulting in the possible increased
infections of prison populations

MonoFoil™ Antimicrobial
 Goal
oReduce transfer routes by adding a
proven antimicrobial system that:
transforms high traffic surfaces into ones
that continually fights bacteria, mold,
fungi, yeast & viruses for extended
periods of time.
MonoFoil™ Antimicrobial
◦ Cleaning, Disinfecting & Hand
Hygiene is not enough
o “Bleach does not eliminate mold or mildew on wood &
other porous surfaces” Oregon State University “Study
Impact of Bleach on Mold Growth”
o “MRSA can be cultured from toilet seats representing a
potential risk to inmates and staff…” Mary Anne Glannini,
Infection Control Officer
o “MRSA can live on fabrics and hard surfaces for up to 90
days.” Journal of Clinical Microbiology
MonoFoil™ Antimicrobial
Minimize & control bacterial growth on hightouch surfaces
 Prevent staining & odor causing bacteria, mold,
fungi, algae & viruses
 Works continuously for years
 Applicable to any surface or fabric

o Extends the life of surfaces & fabrics
Environmentally-friendly & non-toxic
 Can be applied by certified applicators or selfadministered



Based on active ingredient 3-(trihydroxysilyl)
propyl dimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride
For any soft, hard or fabric surfaces
Effective against a wide array of bacteria, mold,
fungi, algae & viruses
Hypoallergenic, non-sensitizing & nonirritating
Does not leach
Environmentally friendly & EPA registered
Used for the past 30 years in consumer &
healthcare Industries
MonoFoil™ Antimicrobial
How It Works


The cell membrane is attracted to the
treated surface & punctured by the long
molecular chain
The microorganism is further destroyed
physically by electrocution

Facility Maintenance – Odors & Staining
o Bacteria, mold, mildew & fungi can be the source of
objectionable odor & staining on stalls, training
equipment & fabrics
o Contaminants can ruin building aesthetics & quality
with staining & deterioration
o Deep-reaching bacteria, mold, mildew & fungi can
cause persistent odor that reasserts itself quickly after
normal maintenance cleaning
