LATEST & GREATEST
QUEENSLAND’S WORLD LEADING DISINFECTANT
QUEENSLAND-BASED SILIX USES A CUTTING EDGE, TGA REGISTERED COVID-19 KILLING DISINFECTANT,
WHICH WILL HELP PUBS MEET WORK SAFE AUSTRALIA REQUIREMENTS
The world-leading disinfectant can be applied for as
little as $0.52 per square metre and with the disinfection
lasting up to 30 days, it is a very cost-effective option for
hotels.
Silix CEO, Gerard Murtagh said many managers and
owners were struggling to find the right products to
assist in checking off a long list of Work Safe Australia
requirements.
“Our team provides the professional support to reduce
risks and get pubs and clubs work safe,” he said.
Silix uses the world-leading, TGA-registered liquid
disinfectant Zoono Z-71 Microbe Shield, scientifically
proven to kill more than 99.99% of bacteria and viruses
including corona viruses and influenza.
More than 100 lab tests worldwide have proven Zoono
stops cross contamination as required by Work Safe
Australia.
This unique hospital-grade disinfectant is powered by a
special microbial additive that bursts and kills virus cells,
so they can’t keep infecting people. And, unlike other
disinfectants, the Zoono barrier lasts up to 30 days.
“Be warned! Not all disinfectants are the same,” Mr
Murtagh said. “There’s a lot of disinfectants on the
market that make various claims, reduce any risks to
patrons and staff and read the fine print.”
An alcohol-based disinfectant is only effective until
the surface it is applied to comes into contact with a
contaminant again. This means, a surface treated with
a chemical disinfectant may only stay clean for a short
period of time.
Zoono is unique because it’s a physical disinfectant
which creates a barrier, effective on a surface for up to
30 days.
“You need only apply it once every few weeks and the
entire pub or club is done. You can clean as normal and
it won’t remove the molecular barrier,” Mr Murtagh said.
“The added bonus for the hospitality industry is Zoono
is the only food safe and environmentally friendly,
disinfectant treatment with no harmful chemicals..
