LANXESS disinfectant effective against swine flu viral strain
New study from Giessen University
A recent study carried out on behalf of LANXESS has demonstrated the effectiveness of the disinfectant Preventol CD 601 against the swine flu viral strain. “The test results from Giessen University show that Preventol CD 601 can also play a major role in the fight against swine flu, which has now been classed as a pandemic. Our unique combination of three active ingredients has already proven extremely effective against other enveloped viruses such as the H5N1 bird flu virus,” says Dietmar Schlegel, market segment manager for disinfection in LANXESS’s Material Protection Products (MPP) business unit. The viral strain responsible for swine flu is an A viral strain (H1N1) from the Orthomyxoviridae family, which also includes bird flu.
In the next few months, the Business Unit Material Protection Products (MPP) expects significant growth for its active ingredients in the Disinfection & Personal Care segment.
