AdvensProtect PEHG

AdvensProtect PEHG is a combination of phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin. Phenoxyethanol is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial effective against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, as well as against yeasts. Ethylhexylglycerin is a multifunctional ingredient with great emollient and preservative booster properties.​It is a strong booster for better protection against microbial growth. The boosting effect is due to the surfactant properties of ethylhexylglycerin, which affects the surface tension properties of bacteria, improving the contact between phenoxyethanol and the bacterial membrane.

DL Bio Enzyme & Substrate

DL Bio Enzyme and DL Bio Enzyme Substrate mimics a naturally occurring antimicrobial-antioxidant protection system. When the two-part system is combined, a cascade of linked reactions takes place to generate antimicrobial products in situ. The cascade is initiated by the action of the glucose oxidase enzyme in the presence of its substrate (glucose) and oxygen. This generates H2O2 , which is used by the lactoperoxidase to catalyze the oxidation of I- and SCNanions, forming hypoiodite and hypothiocyanate which have antimicrobial activity. The result is rapid microbial cell death expression.
