Swine Flu Wipe Out

Traditional ‘wet wipe’ style products are supplied in a plastic tub and the wipe Robert Scott Impregnated Clothsitself is made from components unlikely to biodegrade easily.

Robert Scott’s Polybio impregnated cloths are specifically designed
to address these problems:

  • The envelope style pack hugely reduces landfill issues created by the disposal of large plastic tubs.
    The pack comes with an effective airtight seal to ensure wipes do not dry out.
  • All Polybio wipes are 100% biodegradable. Disposable products should be truly disposable, and
    these are.
  • All Polybio wipes are made from renewable sources.
  • The chemicals used are very effective - but are designed to break down after use to avoidenvironmental impact.

What will Polybio kill?
The active biocide in Polybio is effective against Swine Flu, Avian Flu, MRSA, C.Diff, Salmonella, Listeria, E-Coli.... amongst others.

Can you prove it?
We have independent test data on all the above, which is of course available as required.

Can Polybio wipes be used on skin?
Certainly: the wipes have been assessed in line with legislation governing cosmetics, and have passed those stringent guidelines. The wipes do not contain alcohol.

How long will the product keep?
Up to two years in unopened packs. They have been tested after 60 weeks at a storage temperature of 40 degrees.

So the wipe biodegrades after use?
Both the wipe and the chemical break down completely after around 28 days exposure to air. Nolandfill or pollution issues.

How does Polybio work?
Think of it as microscopic "Scotchguard" ™. The wipes leave a surface that is impervious to grease and oil, which means that any dirt will be deflected once a wipe has been used. How long the surface
lasts depends entirely on the amount of subsequent use, but typically a few hours.
