The Byotrol story

In 1997 the Byotrol scientists were working in the UK’s largest independent paint company when, a local bakery asked the team to create a paint to kill germs and prevent mould in their kitchens.

The team combined paint technology with the antimicrobial ingredients used in shampoo and skincare products. The belief being that ingredients considered safe enough to put on your face and skin would be safe enough for food preparation.

A positive outcome at the bakery led to the formation of new company created specifically to develop the technology. An ongoing research and development program has delivered a series of groundbreaking patents and proved Byotrol to be a totally revolutionary technology in the field of microbial control.

Byotrol can deliver amazing results:

• Fast acting effect; powerful germ killing power – up to 99.99999% of germs
• Broad-based efficacy across all microbial classes : bacteria, viruses, fungi, moulds, microbacteria and algae
• Residual, durable, long-lasting protection from germs: hours, days, weeks, even months for certain formulations

Early use of the new technology has produced some amazing results. In UK hospital tests Byotrol led to a 50% improvement in the control of MRSA over existing products. In the food industry, Byotrol saved an Icelandic fish factory set for closure due to sanitation issues. It is the only product ever to have a 100% US Department of Agriculture pass rate for Salmonella testing in eggs. And in a UK cheese factory Byotrol was proven to be effective in eradicating Listeria.

To understand how Byotrol can achieve these results it’s important to understand that Byotrol works in a game-changing way.

What most people don’t know is that current technologies like bleach or alcohol only work when wet. This means they are effective in liquid form but once they are put on a surface they dry and stop working. Byotrol works wet and dry. Applied to any surface, it creates a microscopic barrier that’s invisible to the naked eye, can’t be felt by human hands, but is absolutely deadly to microbes. And it lasts for days.

Yet this is only half the story. Though hostile to microbes, Byotrol is harmless to other living things. That’s why it’s used in hospitals, food factories, on farms; environments with the highest standards of both anti-germ effectiveness and absolute safety.

Byotrol completely re-writes the hygiene rulebook and it is available for use in our homes. We are working on a whole range of everyday products from wipes to skin sanitisers, from kitchen and bathroom products to wound care products, from baby environment sanitisers to outdoor patio cleaners. All of which will benefit from Byotrol’s revolutionary and effective long-term defence against germs and bacteria.

The Byotrol revolution has begun. Our vision is that over the next ten years Byotrol will lead to profound hygiene improvements around the world, and a hygiene revolution similar in scale to that created by penicillin.The goal of the business is to fulfil our vision of creating easier, cleaner, safer lives for everyone!
