infection and increase level of hygiene.
We
manufacture a range of extremely powerful disinfectants. Our active principle is
glutaraldehyde stabilized thanks to a world wide patented process allowing to
offer this exceptional disinfectant whilst avoiding the inconveniences that made
this molecule unsuitable for usage by non-medical personnel.
