AvantGuard Applauded by Frost & Sullivan for Extending the Life of Chlorine-based Disinfectants for Sustained Efficacy with Its Residual Antimicrobial Solutions

AvantGuard's AvantGuard247™ and 1stAid™ provide safe and long-lasting alternatives for residual disinfectant applications, such as conventional copper-based antimicrobial technology. 1stAid is an antimicrobial wound dressing made of zwitterion-polymeric which has shown a safer and better antimicrobial performance than the conventional silver wound dressings. The AvantGuard365™ is a polymeric addictive. The AvantGuard247™ is currently the only spray-based residual antimicrobial coating that leverages chlorine to its ultimate usefulness. AvantGuard247™ enhances and prolongs the antimicrobial activity of existing chlorine disinfectants to enhance their protection. The solution can be safely used in the food and beverage (F&B) industry and directly applied to any surface. Moreover, the solution dries quickly and is not easily wiped off once dried because it forms an invisible protective coating. The AvantGuard247™ provides 24 hours of protections by forming a transparent film on the…

AvantGuard's AvantGuard247™ and 1stAid™ provide safe and long-lasting alternatives for residual disinfectant applications, such as conventional copper-based antimicrobial technology. 1stAid is an antimicrobial wound dressing made of zwitterion-polymeric which has shown a safer and better antimicrobial performance than the conventional silver wound dressings.

AvantGuard247™ enhances and prolongs the antimicrobial activity of existing chlorine disinfectants to enhance their protection. The solution can be safely used in the food and beverage (F&B) industry and directly applied to any surface. Moreover, the solution dries quickly and is not easily wiped off once dried because it forms an invisible protective coating. The AvantGuard247™ provides 24 hours of protections by forming a transparent film on the surface with a prolonged antimicrobial efficacy over months.

"AvantGuard247™ sustains the efficiency of holding the chlorine ions longer than most commercialized chlorine disinfectants that typically last less than a week. Its long-term residual effect eliminates the need for frequent disinfection, and the oxidative chlorine acts on bacterial membrane receptors upon contact, causing a direct contact-based killing effect," said Hamizah Shamsudeen, a Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst.

AvantGuard's zwitterion-based antimicrobial solution reduces the cost of installing copper surfaces in hospitals and F&B establishments and reduces the associated effects of copper mining and environmental pollution from copper industries. The temporary supplemental residual antimicrobial N-halamine technology provides high efficiency of up to 3 weeks of application, lasting even after several washes. AvantGuard365™ combined with Zwitterion-based molecules, however, form a preventive antimicrobial technology with a fixed coating that lasts up to 3 years. The zwitterion molecular structure easily interacts with water to form a coating, thus preventing microbe attachment on surfaces.

According to Ramya Kannan, a Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst, "AvantGuard's antimicrobial technology has the highest potential to be adopted in a large range of applications through further research and development activity and the commercialization of 1stAid™ and AvantGuard365™." The AvantGuard365™ is the polymeric additive which works well with chlorine -based disinfectants to keep chlorine ions on the surface. The additive works for various polymeric surfaces such as polypropylene and polyurethane. With its impressive overall performance, AvantGuard, Inc. earns Frost & Sullivan's 2022 Technology Innovation Leadership Award in the North American residual antimicrobial industry.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a product with innovative features and functionality that is gaining rapid acceptance in the market. The award recognizes the quality of the solution and the customer value enhancements it enables.
