("Byotrol" or the "Company")
EPA approval for
long-lasting performance against viruses
Byotrol Plc (AIM: BYOT), the specialist infection prevention and
control company, is pleased to announce that the US Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") has formally approved long-lasting
virucidal claims for its proprietary 24-hour germ-kill surface
sanitizer Byotrol 24 (EPA Reg. Number 83614-1). This approval was
received by the Company after close of business, on 22 May
2023.
The Directors believe that this is the first product to receive
such EPA approval and means that Byotrol24 and its sub brands will
now be able to offer unique and highly relevant claims and
performance characteristics to US consumers and businesses. This
includes being able to claim efficacy against certain current and
emerging viral pathogens including influenza, coronavirus and
norovirus (via the commonly accepted surrogate feline
calicivirus).
The Company continues to advance alliances and commercial
opportunities in the US, including with a previously announced,
well-known sub-licensee in the US institutional market, which is
continuing to prepare a market launch with the new product claims
at the forefront of its marketing strategy.
David Traynor, Executive Director, Byotrol plc comments:
"This is fantastic news for Byotrol and confirms the excellence
of our US surface sanitizers.
Customers and consumers are now as concerned about protecting
against viruses as well as bacteria. This new approval means we can
now make specific long-lasting efficacy claims against viruses,
which should in turn significantly increase the commercial
potential of our US formulations."
