3M Trigene Pre-Mix 1 To 100 5L Green
TriGene disinfectant is a synergistic blend of several active ingredients.
Dodecylamine sulphamate is a powerful salt developed from dodecyl amine and sulfamic acid.
The salt has a high tolerance to hard water and soilage.
Poly (hexamethylene) biguanide hydrochloride is a good Grampositive biocide, with variable activity also as a virucide.
Octyldecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride is a powerful quarternary compound with antibacterial, virucidal and tuberculocidal activity at low dilutions.
It is bacteriostatic in high dilutions with a very high tolerance to both hard water and organic soilage when in combination with dodecylamine sulfamate.
The activity of nonyl phenyl-w-hydroxy-poly (oxythylene) (NP9) is to act first to attack cell walls as a penetrative agent allowing the combinations of disinfectants to enter the cortex of the cell and destroy it.
The secondary activity is as a surface active agent or detergent that loosens organic material into suspension in water.
Ethanol acts to promote cell wall activity in particular with certain viral groups.
It is well known that the long chain quarternary compounds which possess the greatest antibacterial activity are those with at least one radical and with a C8 to C18 length carbon chain.
It is also known that absorption plays an important role in the activity of disinfectant formulations.
TriGene disinfectants are highly surface active and therefore readily absorbed.
Because of the large specific surface of the particulate microorganisms, the first stage of germicidal activity begins with the adsorption of the disinfectant by the microbial cell.
Such adsorption increases the permeability of the cell membrane, leading to the ultimate rupture and the decrease of lysine and glutamic acid.
The inclusion of dodecylamine sulfamate appears to stimulate the contraction of the cytoplasm followed by complete stripping of the cell wall.
A second mode of action proposed is that cell death results from inactivation of energy producing enzymes such as those concerned with glucose, succinate and pyruvate oxidase systems.
