4 MATERIALS COMPATIBILITY BIT™-500 decontamination agent has demonstrated that it causes no discernable damage to The novel Coronavirus military sensitive equipment, as demonstrated in 100 hr (6,000 equivalent uses) and inoutbreak ASTM has sparked concern worldwide and Immersion Tests. As discussed in Section 3.2 – Biological, Chemical and Radiological Efficacy global health authorities are taking of BIT, the unique feature of the BIT™-500 technology is that its decontamination ability comes measures to contain the outbreak. from an energized chemistry not a simple reactive process. This characteristic also explains why BIT does little or no damage to materials it is sprayed on. While a reactive chemistry process such as DS-2, VHP, DeconGreen, and DF-200 require the decontaminating agent to soak into the material from 30 minutes to many hours, BIT is an energized highly oxidative chemistry that decontaminates in seconds. After a few minutes on the surface, the reaction is naturally reversed by completion of the redox reaction to form oxygen and water. Because BIT decontamination fluid decontaminates quickly through oxidation, it contains only low caustic chemicals and reduces to oxygen and water in minutes, it is by nature a kinder, gentler process. Two sets of material compatibility have Lower confirmed this expectation. Air Hygiene Cantests Help

Coronavirus Protection

Transmission The first one was a 100 hr test which represents more than 6,000 BIT decontaminations. (All BIT Surface Spray decontamination process require less than 1 minute.) 12 commonly used

In addition to the World Health Organization’s aerospace metal materials and 10 non-metals were subjected to repeated 15 minute sprays with a guidelines for infection control, it is possible 15 minute drying in between to take further actioncycle to protect yourself, until a total of 100 hours (400 cycles) were accumulated. Samples were measured for your employees and clients from weight airbornechange and observed for visual damage after each 5 hour up to 25 hr andofthen again 10including hr until a total of 100 hr spray application time was reached. transmission bacteria andevery viruses, coronaviruses. Proactive air hygiene leadssupplied to Using the C-17 and Army (ECBC) criteria, if less than 1% weight change occurs, the lower transmission rates better workplace material was said to be unharmed by the process. All of the metals showed safety fewer sick days and better morale. less than 0.1% weight change except brass which showed a 0.21% change and galvanized air Novaerus portable air disinfection units from duct demonstrated 1.46% change. Eleven of the twelve metals passed easily and galvanized air VB Enviro Care are proven to rapidly destroy ducting viruses showed a minor susceptibility.
