Business Wire
Arch Chemicals, Inc. announced today that research has
demonstrated that its Vantocil™ FHC antimicrobial product, which
has long been used in hygiene applications in Europe and other
global regions, is also highly effective in controlling the
causative agent of swine flu, Swine Influenza A (H1N1) virus.
Research work performed by ATS Labs, Eagan, Minnesota, USA,
showed Vantocil™ FHC antimicrobial was effective within 10 minutes
in controlling the Swine Influenza A (H1N1) virus. Vantocil FHC is
a non-staining, disinfectant detergent concentrate for the cleaning
and disinfecting of all hard surfaces as part of a regular cleaning
and infection control program. It can be used in a wide range of
environments, including hospitals, domestic settings and food

Vantocil™ FHC is based on the active ingredient poly
(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) in combination with
a quaternary ammonium compound (alkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride).
The PHMB antimicrobial from Arch Biocides has a proven track record
over many years of providing both broad spectrum bactericidal and
virucidal activity in a diverse range of hygiene products marketed
