Active Chemical Formulation and Antimicrobial Action
Bacillol contains a synergistic blend of alcohols (such as 1-propanol, 2-propanol, and ethanol).
It works by rapidly denaturing microbial cellular proteins, dissolving lipid envelopes in viruses, and disrupting bacterial cell membranes within thirty to sixty seconds of surface contact.
Because it evaporates cleanly without leaving chemical residues, it is widely utilized for high-hygiene veterinary and dairy touchpoints.
- Active formulation: Synergistic alcohol-based fast-acting disinfectant spray
- Broad spectrum: Rapidly destroys vegetative bacteria, enveloped viruses, and fungal spores
- Zero residue: Dries cleanly without leaving toxic deposits on disinfected surfaces
Hygiene Applications in Dairy and Veterinary Farming
Maintaining strict biosecurity and surface hygiene in modern dairy and poultry farms prevents contagious pathogen outbreaks.
Bacillol spray is applied to clean and disinfect surgical instruments, artificial insemination kits, and milking cluster contact points.
- Dairy equipment: Decontaminates stainless steel milking claw pieces and milk sampling tools
- Artificial insemination: Sterilizes AI guns, speculums, and liquid nitrogen canister handling tweezers
- Veterinary clinics: Rapid spray-and-wipe disinfection of examination tables and clinical trays between animal patients
Application Instructions, Flammability, and Safety
Spray undiluted onto pre-cleaned hard surfaces from a distance of twenty to thirty centimeters, ensuring complete wetting for at least thirty seconds.
Because alcohol-based sprays are flammable, never spray near naked flames, smoking materials, or running electrical motors.
Store containers tightly capped in cool, well-ventilated areas away from direct sunlight.
- Contact time: Allow surfaces to remain visibly moist for 30 to 60 seconds before air drying
- Flammability warning: Keep away from open flames, welding equipment, and heat sources
- Personal safety: Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged inhalation of concentrated alcohol vapors
