Zoono, unlike other antimicrobial products contiune to works when dry. Z71 uses purified deionised water and an antimicroial compound called quaternary ammonium compound, the trade secret lies in the technology behind the quaternary ammonium compound which enables Zoono to stay active and continue killing pathogens for long periods of times.

When Z71 is applied to a surface by spraying. wiping or fogging; Zoono leaves behind a mono-molecular layer that permanently bonds to the surface. These molecules are antimicrobial, silane based polymers that covalently bond to the surface forming a barrier of positively charged microscopic pins. This treatment should be applied to a clean and dry surface.

The positively charged microscopic pins attract and pierce the negatively charged pathogens (germs and viruses). The pins rupture the cell walls. This causes the pathogen to break up with lethal effect. The layer of molecular antimicrobial pins carries on working for extended periods of time.

Routine cleaning should be used in conjunction with Zoono Z71, Cleaning does not effect the Zoono molecule or its antimicrobial activity. Zoono Z71 physical rupture of the pathogen cell wall replaces the need for dangerous poisons, chemicals and alcohol. This method of rupturing the cell means the cell cannot mutate, preventing the development of superbugs.

Zoono is colourless, odourless, non-leaching, food and environmentally safe, non-corrosive and whilst completely gentle for humans and animals, it is deadly for a wide range of bacteria and mould.

​Zoono Z-71 has a proven track record against a broad spectrum of bacteria, enveloped and non enveloped viruses, mould and fungi. Zoono has undertaken over 150 Independent Tests Globally and in UKAS approved labs in the UK in order to support it's product claims. Zoono Z71 meet the UK and EU standards to be a broad spectrum disinfectant that is 99.99% effective against bacteria and viruses for extended periods of time and has passes EN14476  EN13697, EN1276, EN1650 testing. All lab test results are available on request, or by visiting https://zoono.co.uk/pages/our-technology-efficacy-testing

Illness and infection can cost business, industries and countries billions – or even worse, people’s lives. Dramatically reduce your chances of encountering a crisis by reducing the spread of dangerous pathogens.

The simplest analogy is that “spikes” are formed on the surface. Once the microorganism comes in contact with the Zoono "spikes", its' cell wall membrane is punctured (a process called lysis); this causes cell degradation and death.

Whilst there will be some variables within the spectrum of such widespread testing, all the scientific evidence is showing overwhelmingly that Zoono products have exceptional advantages over ‘traditional’ products that use alcohol and bleach, and that the tests do show that they can be effective for up to the claimed durations. The advantages also include much lower levels of toxicity. Zoono acknowledges that it is not possible to put all of the scientific proof on product labels and it should be clarified, so their revised labelling emphasises ‘scientifically proven’ and ‘longer lasting’ – and the explanation of the advanced science and test results is being provided online and on request. This information can then also be compared to (for example) the time an alcohol-based hand sanitising product might be effective – which is only around 2 minutes. Promoting such facts is considered an essential part of enabling people to consider which products are going to provide protection over the longest periods.
