Coppclean® is a patented, fixed dose combination (FDC) of copper and low levels of didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC), that has a dramatically increased germicidal potency and lowered toxicity, because of the synergism between the two active ingredients.
It is a first-time-in-the world novel formulation that kills a broad range of pathogens including enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, gram negative and positive bacteria, protozoa, fungi, biofilms and spores. It kills 99.9999% of these pathogens at a dilution of 1:75.
It is a hard surface disinfectant for use in -
In Pharmaceutical set ups, it can be used in formulation area, production area, packing and filling areas, R&D laboratories, microbiology labs, QC & QA laboratories.
This FDC is fast acting, has broad spectrum action with enhanced cleaning power that is staff and patient friendly while being gentle on most surfaces.
DDAC works by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms leading to leakage of cellular contents and subsequent cell death. On the other hand, stabilized copper ions target microbial cells by damaging their DNA and disrupting various cellular processes. Their different modes of action affect multiple aspects of microbial physiology, potentiating each other’s efficacies and leading to a very comprehensive destruction mechanism.
It is this synergism brought about by this novel formulation that holds the key to prevention of HAIs and microbial resistance.
Coppclean® is extremely efficacious against gram negative bacteria like Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Gram negative bacteria are less susceptible to quaternary ammonium compounds than gram positive bacteria. It is the synergism between DDAC and copper that allows Coppclean® to have a broad range of action.
It completely inhibits fungi like Candida albicans, Candida auris and Penicillium citrinum.
In a contact time of 10 minutes and at 1:75 dilution, it completely degrades enveloped viruses like Human Coronavirus, Adenovirus and Norovirus and non-enveloped viruses like HIV, HCV, HBV, H1N1, H3N2.
In a surface challenge test, Coppclean® was able to achieve 3 plus log reduction in spores of Bacillus subtilis on all surfaces tested (stainless steel, kota stone, glass and coated stainless steel) in just 30 seconds.
Coppclean® is extremely effective against biofilms at very low concentrations. It completely inhibits pre-formed biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus at a dilution of 1:256 and Candida auris at a dilution of 1:512.
Although highly effective against key healthcare-associated pathogens, Coppclean® was formulated with the comfort, safety and well-being of staff and patients in mind. Coppclean® is 3.55 times safer to use when compared to DDAC alone. Coppclean® is non-sensitizing and non-irritating to skin as demonstrated in guinea pigs and New Zealand white rabbits respectively. Since it is also non-corrosive, it can be safely used without personal protective equipment. It is noninflammable, has no VOCs, strong chemical odors or fumes.
Apply 1.33% solution of Coppclean® to disinfect surfaces like stainless steel, metals, sunmica, other laminated surfaces, painted surfaces, white enameled furniture, glass, rubber and plastics such as polypropylene, polyurethane, polyethylene, PVC acrylic, fiberglass and polycarbonate.
On surfaces wiped with Coppclean®, there was 98% reduction in growth of all organisms under test for up to 72 hours on all surfaces demonstrating residual activity.
Coppclean® uses very small quantity of hydrocarbon based DDAC. By utilizing this patented fixed-dose combination, it achieves high efficacy with minimal environmental footprint.
