Today we can’t imagine life without personal hygiene products and cleaning products. Appropriate disinfection, as well as maintaining basic hygiene principles, allow us to prevent the spread of many diseases and pollutants. We learn these principles from our loved ones, in schools, but they are also contained in legal standards. One of the largest organizations that indicate such recommendations is the WHO World Health Organization. Every day they monitor the health of the world’s population and the threats of incoming diseases. In their regulations we can find a number of recommendations relating to the use of chemicals as protective measures. An example referring to disinfectants is the use of sodium hypochlorite, at a certain concentration, as a means of disinfecting medical facilities or homes where patients live.
In the product catalogue of the PCC Group you will find many ready-made formulations that serve as biocides, among them disinfectants, but also semi-finished products for such products. We present our offer.
As a biocidal product we characterise any substance or mixture ready for direct use which may consist of, contain or produce one or more active substances. The constituent may be chemical substances, but also micro-organisms, including fungi and viruses. Biocidal products are intended to destroy, render harmless, deter, prevent the action of living organisms or to control them by means other than purely physical or mechanical means. These products may be made from substances or mixtures which do not themselves have similar properties. Treated articles with primary biocidal function also fall into this category.
There are four categories which are defined in relation to the general use of biocidal products. These are: disinfectants, preservatives, pest control products and other biocidal products (antifouling products and embalming and preparation fluids). Among them, 22 product subgroups have been identified, which determine their specific use. Human hygiene biocidal products, preservatives for preservation of products during storage, wood preservatives, preservatives for building materials, insecticides, disinfectants for veterinary hygiene and many others are available on the market.
The use of appropriate protective measures increases the comfort of life by ensuring order, but above all by protecting us from many diseases such as influenza, smallpox, tuberculosis, coronaviruses, malaria and even anthrax. Maintaining order also prevents exposure to allergic factors.
By keeping ourselves and others safe, we protect ourselves and others in our environment. So let’s remember this and use specialized products that will help us disinfect and take care of our hygiene.

Among biocides, disinfectants stand out in particular. These can be divided into five groups.
The first of these are biocides intended for human hygiene. This includes disinfectants that are applied onto or have contact with human skin or the scalp.
The second group consists of disinfectants or algaecides not intended for direct application for humans or animals. Such products are used in public, private and industrial areas.
These include:
Veterinary hygiene is the third group. It consists of products that are used to maintain veterinary hygiene. These include disinfectant soaps, disinfectants, body care or oral hygiene products and antimicrobial agents. They are also used to disinfect surfaces and materials that are involved in the transport or accommodation of animals.
The fourth group concerns food and feed. It includes preparations for the disinfection of surfaces, equipment, kitchen utensils, containers and pipelines associated with the transport, production, storage and consumption of feed or food (including drinking water) for animals and humans. These products are used in materials likely to come into contact with food.
The last group includes drinking water. It contains agents for disinfecting water consumed by humans and animals.
Disinfectants are a very broad product group. However, it is worth paying attention to their composition and appropriate certification to use the best products.
One of the chemical disinfectants recommended by the WHO (World Health Organization) is SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE. It is a very effective disinfectant used in the ongoing global fight against COVID-19.
Sodium hypochlorite performs very well as a disinfectant for pavements, streets and public transport stop platforms, as well as for any other public places. The published research results indicate that a virus such as SARS-CoV-2 can survive for a few hours, both in the air and on different surfaces. Therefore, particular attention must be paid primarily to the disinfection of places, where many people gather.
Sodium hypochlorite is also suitable for use in food processing plants and on animal farms. It is used to disinfect surfaces in contact with food and animal feed. It is also very effective in the disinfection of drinking water, swimming pools, water reservoirs, systems for supplying drinking water and in the decontamination of air conditioning systems.
Sodium hypochlorite is also recommended for use in hospitals, clinics, medical institutions or laboratories.
The product is a potent virucidal agent. Studies show that in a few minutes it inactivates viruses such as the avian flu virus or the coronavirus. To achieve the desired effectiveness of a hypochlorite-based disinfectant, it should be used in the proper concentration.
When used in the proper concentration, sodium hypochlorite is an ideal disinfectant for homes, farms or public places. The recommended concentrations are in the range between 0.1 – 0.5%. Disinfectants containing sodium hypochlorite provide an efficient virucidal effect after 1 minute of application.
A biocidal product is defined as any substance or mixture that is ready for a direct use and that may consist of, contain or generate one or more active substances. The components can be chemicals, but also microorganisms, including fungi and viruses. The purpose of biocidal products is to destroy, neutralise and deter living organisms, as well as prevent their action, or combat it in a way other than purely physical or mechanical. These products may be manufactured from substances or mixtures which do not have similar properties on their own. Products with a primary biocidal function that have been treated with biocides are also included in this category.
There are four categories which are defined in relation to the general use of biocidal products. These are: disinfectants, preservatives, pest control agents and other biocides (antifoulants and embalming and preparation fluids). Among them, 22 product subgroups have been identified, which define their specific purpose. There are biocides for human hygiene, products for preserving products during storage, wood and building materials preservatives, insecticides, disinfectants for veterinary hygiene and many others on the market.
Using the right protective measures makes life more comfortable by keeping things tidy, but above all by protecting us from many diseases such as influenza, smallpox, tuberculosis, coronavirus, malaria and even anthrax. Maintaining tidiness also prevents exposure to allergic agents.
By taking care of this cleanliness, we protect ourselves and others around us. So let’s keep this in mind and use specialised products that will make disinfection easier and take care of our hygiene.
Disinfectants are an integral part of our daily routine. We use agents for disinfecting rooms, preparations for surface disinfection, and liquids for hand sanitation. We try to protect ourselves and our loved ones from getting sick. However, it is important that the disinfection also covers public places, institutions, and industry with which we have so much contact.
Food plays an important role in human life. Therefore, it is important that the what we receive is produced under appropriate conditions. There are specialised washing and disinfecting agents used in the food industry available on the market. Especially recommended are those based on sodium hypochlorite. These fluids are effective in decontaminating installations, devices and surfaces that come into contact with food. Special products are also used to sanitise eggshells. There are also liquids used in the disinfection of greenhouses, mushroom farms, foil tunnels, as well as gardening tools and equipment.
A whole range of universal products is available to suit a variety of applications. With such facilities, you can easily take care of production and breeding processes, so that food products are of the highest quality.
There are places through which thousands, hundreds of thousands and sometimes even millions of people pass daily. Bacteria and viruses easily accumulate there, which is why it is so important to disinfect them.
The disinfectants used in hospitals are popular products as they could not function without decontamination. Sterile conditions are essential in treating patients so that disease does not spread among them. These are also used in clinics, dental practices, outpatient clinics, etc. Similar agents are also often used in beauty salons.
Bus stops, streets and sidewalks are places where the largest groups of people gather. Particularly in times of pandemics, decontamination efforts should be intensified in these areas. Cities to a large extent rely on disinfection with products based on sodium hypochlorite, which is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
This hypochlorite-based surface disinfectant also works well in public institutions such as offices, post offices, shops and service facilities. These are recommended products for decontaminating rooms where people may be present, and they are not dangerous to them.
Indeed, it is also important for employers to keep in mind the workers who, even during an epidemic, have to go to work every day. The already mentioned specialised agents for disinfecting surfaces or entire rooms will also work well in office buildings, as well as in smaller and larger production plants.
Both during a pandemic, such as the current one related to the coronavirus, but also afterwards, you should remember to carry out regular disinfection. This should be an essential procedure not only for hospitals, clinics, and beauty centres, but for all places. In particular, let’s take care of cleanliness and disinfection in public places where millions of people come together every day. Each of us is exposed to the negative effects of various viruses and bacteria. So let’s protect ourselves, our loved ones and the whole world. We can do more by working together.
