QShield™ H5N1 Avian Influenza efficacy Statement

Q Shield™ is a proprietary mix of chemicals designed to be effective against virtually all single celled microorganisms. One of the chemicals contained within Q ShieldTM is 3-(Trimethoxysilyl) propyl dimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride. This chemical is also known by one of its Brand names as “The Aegis Antimicrobial”.

Aegis Asia (The distributor of this product in Asia) recently submitted Ox Bio+ (The Brand name for this chemical in Asia) for testing by the Malaysian and Thai Government.
The following summarizes the findings.

“Ox Bio+ disinfectant biocides proven effective against H5N1 Avian Influenza “

Following independent research testing conducted by the Malaysian & Thailand Government research laboratory, Ox Bio+ disinfectant biocides has been proven efficacious against the highly pathogenic H5N1 Avian Influenza virus.
The tests confirm that Ox Bio+ completely inactivate the H5N1 virus with dilution concentrate as low of 0.5% when tested on a minimum ten minute exposure time under laboratory test conditions based on method of Office International des Epizooties (OIE)”

“The World Health Organization (WHO) has specifically identified glutaraldehyde, detergents and quaternary ammonium products as effective disinfectants against the Avian Influenza virus. The WHO also indicates that the virus “remains viable for long periods in tissue, faeces and water, but is high susceptible to disinfection.”

Proven Antimicrobial Protection

Q Shield™ is a revolutionary application which provides an invisible coating the applied to the Skin This coating provides a persistent and non leaching antimicrobial agent effective against most single celled microorganisms. The macropolymeric, polyionic layer created on application to the skin which is not removed by repeated hand washing or rinsing. Q Shield™ eliminates not only bacteria, but also viruses and fungi which can cause ringworm, and fungal nail infections. Application to the skin not only eliminates and inactivates bacteria, viruses and fungi, but also prevents re infection. Q Shield™ does not build or increase antibacterial or antimicrobial resistance in pathogens on repeated or prolonged use.

Q Shield™ Is protected by Patent and is FDA Approved.
