Contec has teamed up with Milliken & Company to help produce mass quantities and scale production of its Sporicidin brand disinfectant, most often used for mould and water damage remediation.
Milliken quickly undertook an intensive technical process to manufacture Sporicidin brand disinfectant on behalf of Contec, Inc.
Enabled by its research, development and manufacturing expertise, Milliken completed all EPA requirements and implemented training and protocols to safely produce a quality disinfectant.
Sporicidin production at Milliken began on Tuesday, May 12, after a record ramp-up of only four weeks. Typical similar partnerships require three to six months to arrange.
The EPA-registered intermediate level disinfectant cleans, disinfects and deodorizes, and it provides 100% kill of pathogenic vegetative organisms, including MRSA, VRE and Avian Influenza A Virus (H9N2 and H1N1) with continuous residual activity for up to six months.
Compatible with plastics, wood, glass and metals, alcohol-free Sporicidin brand disinfectant is non-staining, non-abrasive and non-corrosive. Notably, the disinfectant carries a Category IV EPA toxicity rating the lowest toxicity rating given to antimicrobials.
“Milliken immediately came to mind when we decided to bring on a new manufacturing partner,” said, Jack McBride, Contec, Inc. CEO.
“Milliken is a trusted, key community player with the mass production, quality systems and speed-to-market capabilities needed to help us provide critical cleaning solutions to healthcare facilities without delay.”
Halsey M. Cook, president and CEO of Milliken & Company, added: “Companies are adapting their core competencies to meet the global challenges brought on by COVID-19. Partnering with Contec, Inc. was a natural fit, and gave Milliken the opportunity to quickly reconfigure our manufacturing capabilities and rapidly solve problems for our customers and communities.”
