• UV HVAC Systems and UL867 Ozone Free Bi-Polar Ionization

UV Light kills Microorganisms by disrupting the chemical bonds which hold DNA atoms together. CFM data, HVAC Chamber Dimensions, Building Footprint, Lamp Design and existing HVAC Plans are the primary components to providing effective, lasting results by closing the loop on indoor particulate-borne microbes or spores.

This Technology is utilized for its unique natural ability to destroy contagions in Central Air Systems, especially in Corporate Environments, Educational, Healthcare, and Senior Living Facilities. It also typically provides significant off-setting Energy Savings by maintaining cleaner Coils.

• Antimicrobial Dry Fogging

This technology uses a cutting edge, healthcare grade disinfecting ingredient in unique dry (complete dispersal) fogging or dry evaporative spray formulations, which disinfects literally every exposed surface in a space, including difficult to clean surfaces such as keyboards, the backsides and undersides of furnishings, office equipment, resident beds, lockers and much more. It leaves literally no residual material on any surface.

This Technology is utilized for its unique ability to quickly and safely disinfect difficult surfaces and spaces, and to comprehensively eradicate contagions which evade regular cleaning, especially in Offices, Open Offices, Education, Athletic and Fitness Areas, Senior Living Buildings, Retail Areas, Common Areas and more.

• Cleaner Disinfectant

Formulated with a Pine Quaternary combination, ICS’ Cleaner and Disinfectant effectively kills microbes and is uniquely formulated to correctly disinfect and prepare surfaces for ICS Coatings applications.

ICS Coatings continually reduce microbial populations and freshen air for months at a time. Disinfectants and Cleaners are only effective for a few minutes.

Disinfectants, such as Quaternaries, Phenolics and Bleach require up to 3 minutes of continual surface contact to achieve efficacy, per manufacturers’ directions. The duration of their efficacy can be less than three minutes, and stops as soon as new contagions are deposited thereafter.

That means that the Elevator Buttons, Door Push Plates, Bathrooms and any other high-contact surfaces are clean and/or sterile only immediately after they are cleaned, and are potentially re-infected at every contact.

This limited efficacy can result in the exponential spread of contagious microbes such as the Flu, Colds, or MDROs (multi-drug resistant organism) throughout buildings, between cleanings.

ICS Surface Coatings provide different solutions. Public facilities concentrate microbe populations in specific areas, and then subject them to a stringent breeding program which conditions them through natural selection to resist cleaning products and thrive within building environments. ICS Coatings fill microscopic surface pores removing microbe-harboring potential, taking away their home, and allowing you to take your building’s surfaces back from contagious populations. ICS Coatings perform mechanically, and thereby have no potential of ‘developed resistance’.

ICS Surface Coatings continually work to destroy microbes deposited on surfaces, including but not limited to MRSA and other MDROs, H1N1, Avian Flu, the Common Cold (gram negative and positive) and more, breaking these contagious microbes down to their organic molecular components.

These coatings also block mold or mildew growth, and literally protect your building’s surfaces while your staff works somewhere else. ICS Coatings have a manufacturer stated efficacy of 3 months on most surfaces, about 43,000 times longer than Chlorine or other disinfectants.

• Water-Based Long Lasting Active Antimicrobial Polymer Coatings for almost any surface
• Chemical Free, No VOC’s, No Respiratory Irritants
• Performs Mechanically at a molecular level, instead of chemically oxidizing Microbes
• Continually Destroys Microbes on Contact Surfaces, including Flu Viruses, Colds, MRSA, Salmonella, E. Coli, and more. Also blocks Mold and Mildew growth.
• Continually reduce potential Spread of Contagions between Building Occupants from Treated Surfaces, between cleanings.

Yes.

Despite widespread use of Hand Sanitizers, there is substantial documentation that the Common Flu and more virulent strains such as H1N1 are not contracted most often by hand or epidermal contact.

Many viruses are incapable of surviving on human skin for more than a few seconds, but can survive attached to particles in an air supply system or on common surfaces long enough to reach a new host. HVAC air supply systems and interior building surfaces can amplify this problem.

ICS UV technologies utilize existing HVAC systems to destroy microbes and spores entering the air system, in turn providing substantial energy savings by maintaining cleaner coil surfaces. These energy savings typically offsets installation costs within two years.

ICS Surface Coatings protect all common contact surfaces throughout a building, removing the superhighways which microbes travel during the flu season. The removal of the means of indoor microbe transportation results in an exponential drop of infection rates. Healthcare and Veterinary facilities have documented 50 – 90% reductions in microbe counts, and even 50% reductions in acquired infections.

CDC data reported that the 2004 Flu Season, which rated as average between 1995 and 2004, resulted in a 17% productivity loss for the year, for every U.S. employer. In 2009, 57 Million Americans caught the flu, almost three times the number in 2004. Making your building a safer and healthier space can literally save money and help avoid lost productivity, while protecting your occupants.
