Due to EPA restrictions we are unable to say DefendPro kills COVID-19.

Please review the graphic below that explains more about the proven effectiveness of the EPA registered ingredients in DefendPro which are very effective at protecting surfaces against many micro-organisms and bacteria.

DefendPro forms a colorless, odorless, positively charged layer of protection on treated surfaces. You could think of it as a layer of electrically charged grass, which you can’t feel. When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, they “pop” much like a bubble landing on grass. 

DefendPro’s electrical charge can’t be felt by human touch, but it assists in neutralizing microorganisms.  The good news is that DefendPro doesn’t lose strength when microorganisms land on  it, so it is ready to protect against the next microorganisms that land on it.

Properly cleaned and disinfected surfaces treated with VS-1000, will be ready for use once DefendPro has been properly applied and been on surfaces for at least 5 minutes.

The drying time is based on ambient environment, you should anticipate an average of 10 minutes.

Fabrics will take longer to dry. If using a fine mist spray applicator, droplets will reach the surface relatively quickly so any lingering “fog” or “mist” should be minimal upon entry into a room or facility after drying time.

We recommended to re-apply every 30 to 90 days. Independent studies show that treatments can last much longer on the surface, but the use of the surface and the abrasion on the surface will ultimately remove the finish protection.  

We set recommendations at 30 days for high-touch point surfaces and 90 days for surfaces that don’t experience too much touch or abrasion.

Ultimately, the customer will decide how often to re-apply based on factors like frequency of surface use and personal preference.

Before reapplying DefendPro, please clean surfaces and then disinfect with VS-1000.  Then apply DefendPro again.

DefendPro can be applied on both hard AND soft inanimate surfaces.

It can be used as a final bacteriostatic finish on many surfaces including door knobs, desks, counter tops, fixtures, carpet, laundry, face masks, equipment, non-food contact surfaces, and more. The possibilities are endless.

No, DefendPro should not be applied on food-contact surfaces. HOWEVER, the FDA defines food-contact surfaces as surfaces where human food contacts the surface during normal operations such as utensils, pot-stocks, slicers, and cutting boards. These surfaces represent less than 1% of the surfaces in a restaurant and are typically disinfected after each use.

All other areas of a restaurant or kitchen can be treated with DefendPro (tables, chairs, counters, bars, walls, salt & pepper shakers, menus, etc.) 

In the unlikely event that DefendPro freezes during shipment, simply allow it to thaw out at room temperature. Once it’s been thawed out, it will be ready to use!

DefendPro has a shelf-life of 2 years.
