Description:
Surface disinfectants are chemical agents applied to non-living objects to destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, and mildews living on the objects. They can also be incorporated in different forms, such as liquids, wipes, and sprays.
Several broad categories of disinfectants are used in commercial and industrial facility maintenance to prevent the transmission of microbial infections or cross-contamination. The most common types of disinfectants are hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium compounds (Quats), chlorine compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, iodophors, and phenolic compounds.
Shift Towards Bio-based Surface Disinfectants
In bio-based cleaning products, manufacturer replaces fossil-based ingredients with bio-based ingredients such as plant oil or enzymes. Bio-based cleaning products are more environmentally friendly, as it uses natural ingredients compositions without compromising the quality of disinfectants. This shift in the trend toward bio-based products from chemical-based products is expected to drive the surface disinfectants market.
