Q Shield™ real solutions to real problems
Reducing Staff Sickness
We were really concerned about levels of staff sickness due to colds and flu. Since
introducing Q Shield™ to our workplace, staff sickness has reduced to below 1% pa.

The New Standard in Hygiene
with Persistent Technology™
Staff Contamination Eradicated
In one of the largest producers of sandwiches in Europe, the bacteria counts on staff
hands were unacceptably high. Q Shield™ was introduced to washrooms and the problem
was solved overnight. This has continued for over a year.
Listeria Problem Solved
In a UK food processing plant, the listeria count in the wet preparation rooms, did not
meet the standards required by leading retailers. Q Shield™ was used to treat all the
surfaces, reducing the listeria count to zero.
Hospital Acquired Infections
I just thought you would like an update of the post operative infection rates at The
Yorkshire Foot Hospital at The Lawrence Clinic since our bio-fogging. I am very happy to
report that there has been a zero % infection rate at the hospital regarding MRSA and C
Difficile and this continues to present day. Furthermore there has been a zero % post
operative wound infection rate.

The New Standard in Hygiene with Persistent Technology™
Q Shield™ has a unique mechanism that means
after drying it bonds securely to the surface, this
enables Q Shield™ to continue working long after
application.
Real life tests have shown that Q Shield™
continues to be effective for up to 14 days even
after repeated washing.
Unlike Q Shield™ most disinfectants stop working
as soon as they are dry, or they leave behind a
polymer residue not suited to food preparation
surfaces.
Continuous protection
Once it is applied Q Shield™ cannot be washed
off and will not lose or have its killing action
diminished after washing. Indeed it is
recommended that you continue to regularly
wash your hands as this removes the dead
microbes and exposes the surface of Q Shield™,
ready to deal with the next infestation.

The Science
of Q Shield™
Q Shield™ kills microbes physically
using the product’s surface
composition, which acts like a
sword to effectively skewer and
rupture the microbes outer cellular
wall, killing germs, viruses, bacteria,
moulds, spores and fungi on
contact. This is a process called lysis
and is a very dependable mode of
action.
