Conventional disinfectants must be dissolved in a solvent such as water or alcohol and made to flood – in effect "drown" – the host organism with a toxic chemical. This method of infection control requires a tradeoff. To ensure microorganisms are killed, the toxic chemical must be present at levels that create health and contamination risks. EcoTru’s nanoemulsion formulation works very differently. Nanospheres of oil droplets are suspended in water to create a nanoemulsion requiring only miniscule amounts of EcoTru’s active ingredient, PCMX.Nanosphere penetration The nanospheres carry surface charges that efficiently penetrate the surface charges on microorganisms’ membranes, much like breaking through an electric fence.
