FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hypred Introduces AQTIVESan-97™ Anti-Bacterial Wipes
New Food-Contact Surface Sanitizer is Pre-Moistened, Requires No Rinsing
Minneapolis (June 7, 2011) – Hypred today announced that the EPA has approved their new
AQTIVESan-97™ anti-bacterial wipes for use on food-contact surfaces in dairies, institutional
kitchens, food handling and processing areas. The convenient, anti-microbial, pre-moistened
wipes are ready-to-use and do not require a post-sanitation rinse, making AQTIVESan-97 ideal
for surface sanitation in production lines.
The advanced formula of AQTIVESan-97 contains two active ingredients to sanitize food- and
non-food-contact surfaces: didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (0.024%) and alkyl (40% C12,
50% C14, 10% C16) dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides (0.016%). AQTIVESan-97 is a 400
ppm (mg/L) active quaternary pre-saturated wipe proven to kill 99.9% of bacteria, including
Staphylococcus aureus (Staph) (ATCC #6538) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 4352) in 30
seconds, in accordance with the Sanitizer Test for Inanimate Non-Food Contact Surfaces. In
addition, efficacy tests have demonstrated that AQTIVESan-97 is an effective sanitizer in the
presence of organic soil load (5% blood serum).
The new FDA-compliant AQTIVESan-97 sanitizing wipes are sold in 800-count pails with
available refills. Always read and follow label directions. For more information, visit
