As a facilities manager, you’re always looking for ways to improve processes and improve the bottom line. The COVID-19 pandemic has really done a number on the profitability of a lot of businesses and has wreaked havoc on healthcare facilities that are struggling to keep up. You need to utilize every tool possible to prevent the spread of infections of all sorts in your facility.
We now have a way to not only clean and disinfect your facility, but to also protect it from the spread of COVID-19 through high touch surfaces. We spray on PRO-Techs antimicrobial coating after thorough disinfection. The coating bonds with both hard and soft surfaces, meaning we can safely apply it to desks, tables, counters, upholstered furniture, doorknobs, switch plates, and more.
A single application of PRO-Techs patented formula protects ALL hard and soft surfaces against ALL bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria; ALL virus, ALL fungus, mold, and mildew for 3 to 6 months on ALL hard surfaces and 12 months or more on ALL soft textile surfaces, despite surface cleaning and continuous use. PRO-Techs durability is due to an outer protective silicon oxide shell barrier plus additional proprietary strong covalent chemical bonding agents which anchor to the treated surfaces.
So, it’s a smart move to use this antimicrobial solution as part of your commercial cleaning process now and in the future. By reducing and eliminating health dangers at the microbial level, you make your facility a healthier place. But that’s not the only benefit. Let’s take a deeper dive.
Benefits include:
- Provides 24/7 protection, reducing the need for repeated disinfection.
- 99.9% effective.
- Durable and economical – one application lasts for months.
- Less expensive than post-outbreak COVID-19 Cleaning and Disinfecting.
- Non-toxic, colorless, odorless spray is people-friendly.
- Can be applied to any hard or soft surface without changing the appearance or texture.
- It’s EPA and EBPR registered.
- Quarterly applications can be scheduled at your convenience with no disruption to operations.
We realize this may sound too good to be true, but we can assure you, it’s not. PRO-Techs really is as good as it sounds. Check out the following case study for unbiased data.
Case Study of PRO-Tech’s Effectiveness
Glendale, California Community Hospital/UCLA ICU
In an examination of PRO-Tech’s effectiveness at a California hospital, the pre-application baseline rate of antibiotic-resistant bacterial contamination rate was 23%.
A single-day PRO-Techs spray application on "high-touch" surfaces (bathrooms, food tray, shower floor, computers, telephones, bed position controls, countertops, doorknobs, handles, light switches, etc.) was completed.
Next, weekly surface cultures were obtained over a 15-week period. At 7 weeks, there were ZERO-positive cultures for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. At 8 weeks, a single culture from a fabric chair armrest in the ICU visitors' waiting room was positive for Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, a dangerous and possibly life-threatening organism. This was the ONLY positive culture obtained in the 15-week study. With the use of PRO-Techs antimicrobial coating, the bacterial contamination rate was reduced from 23% to 1.5%.

PRO-Techs for Your Facility
PRO-Techs is an excellent solution for medical facilities, but since it’s effective against so many community-acquired infections, it makes sense to use it as part of commercial cleaning in ANY facility, from schools to restaurants to fitness centers and everything in between. Some common community-acquired infections include:
- COVID-19
- Influenza (flu)
- Common Cold (Rhinovirus)
- MRSA (wound infections)
- Streptococcus (sore throat, pneumonia)
- Norovirus, E-Coli, C-difficile (food poisoning, gastroenteritis)
- Hepatitis C (liver disease)
- HIV (immune deficiency)
- Mycoplasma (pneumonia in children and young adults)
- Legionella (pneumonia)
- Pseudomonas (hot tubs)
- Tinea Pedis (athlete’s foot, shower floors)
- Mold and Mildew (asthma, lung disease)
As you can see, while you’ll want to add PRO-Techs antimicrobial coating to your commercial cleaning routine during the COVID epidemic, it makes sense to use it all the time.
