"With biosecurity and food safety major concerns to all involved in the agricultural and food industries the time is right for new products to help protect the workers as well as the consumers" says Dr. Guy W. Miller, Chief Technical Office and Chairman of BioMatrix International.

The Anti-Microbial Hand Care product will be distributed under the bioSecure™ Hand Sanitizer label. It is designed specifically for those involved in the Food/Food Safety and Agricultural markets.

Dr. Miller explains how the product works: "bioSecure™ Hand Sanitizer when applied to the hands helps keep hands free of bacterial contamination for up to four hours. The unique moisturizing formulation provides protection against a wide range of solvents, acids, chemicals and protects against drying out from frequent hand washing with soap and water. Simply washing hands on a regular basis puts a person at risk for the number two cause of occupational hand disease (OHD) in the workplace.

Independent studies have shown that bioSecure™ Hand Sanitizer prevents OHD. In addition, its unique antiseptic properties protect against a broad spectrum of food-borne pathogens. It will last up to four hours and won't wash off."

bioSecure™ Hand Sanitizer offers protection against some of the most common pathogens including: Salmonella, Shigella, Clostridium, E. Coli, Vibrio, Listeria, Staphylococcus, Candida, Klebsiella and others.

bioSecure™ Hand Sanitizer provides protection from dyes, chemicals and odors from penetrating the skin. Independent studies have shown up to 99.9% exclusion on the following chemicals: Acetone, Formaldehyde, Ammonia, Clorox, Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Malathion, Dursban/Chlorphrifos, Diazinon, Atrazine, Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, Paint Thinner, Paint Stripper and more.

bioSecure™ Hand Sanitizer contains no alcohol or petro chemicals, which dry out skin. It fills all epidermal voids, purging debris and creating a waterproof shield that will not wash off. While there is no cure to latex allergy other than avoidance, independent studies have shown that one application of bioSecure™ Hand Sanitizer will prevent the absorption of the latex glove molecule up to 99% for four hours.

BioMatrix International offers its customers a complete line of antimicrobial products designed to help promote biosecurity in the workplace.
