A disinfectant for animal housing, transport cages, and breeding
equipment for domestic animals. Alviral is a registered virucide with an
efficacy of 0.5 % after 30 minutes of surface contact (based on the standard
NFT 72-180).

Due to its unique composition, Alviral is able to regenerate its primary
active ingredient: chlorine. Once the chlorine is in the solution, it is trapped
and released only in the presence of bacteria. This cycle continues in a chain
reaction. This mode of action allows for residual activity in a prepared solution,
which is able to remain stable throughout a seven day period.
Alviral is a registered bactericide with an efficacy of 1.5 % after 5 minutes
of surface contact. After 30 minutes of surface contact, Alviral is efficient up to
1 % (based on the standard NFT 72-300)*.

It is recommended to use a spray solution of 1 % and leave it on the surface for
30 minutes.
Based on the standard NFT 72-300, which allows 30 minutes of surface contact,
Alviral was efficient at 4 degrees Celcius on four registered bacteria.
Alviral has a very low toxicity on mammals and aquatic organisms and it is
biodegradable thereby respecting the environment. |
