Why Virkon S is the Gold Standard

Virkon S revolutionized biosecurity with its unique mode of action, providing a lethal blow to pathogens that other disinfectants may miss:

• Unrivaled Virucidal Power: Proven effective against critical threats including Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), African Swine Fever, Avian Influenza, and Canine Parvovirus.

• Fast-Acting Efficacy: Capable of neutralizing bacteria in less than 5 minutes and difficult viruses in under 10 minutes at a 1\% dilution.

• Environmentally Responsible: The active ingredients decompose into naturally occurring salts and oxygen, making it one of the most eco-friendly high-level disinfectants available.

• Detergent Properties: Contains surfactants that allow it to clean and disinfect in a single step by breaking down biofilm and organic soils.
