- Disinfectants are
substances that are applied to non-living objects to destroy
microorganisms that are living on the objects. Disinfection does not
necessarily kill all microorganisms, especially nonresistant
bacterial spores; it is less effective than sterilisation, which is
an extreme physical and/or chemical process that kills all types of
life.
- Disinfectant types
include Air Disinfectants, Alcohols, Aldehydes, Oxidizing Agents ,
Phenolics, Quaternary ammonium compounds, Silver, Copper alloy
surfaces.
- Disinfection was first
introduced by Lister who introduced "carbolic acid" (phenol), the
first disinfectant. Today disinfectants are widely used in the
health care, food and pharmaceutical sectors to prevent unwanted
microorganisms from causing disease.
- Disinfection is
defined as a process that eliminates many if not all pathogenic
organisms. Most agricultural, veterinary and food users are aiming
for disinfection since their facilities are not designed for
sterilization.
- Disinfectants depend
on binding or reaction with bacterial cell membranes to kill
microorganisms. Disinfectant chemicals are not selective,
formaldehyde will react with any acceptor not just microbial
proteins, similar observations have been made for all the other
disinfectant chemicals.
- A perfect disinfectant
would also offer complete and full microbiological sterilisation,
without harming humans and useful forms of life, be inexpensive, and
non-corrosive.
- Disinfection of
drinking-water is essential if we are to protect the public from
outbreaks of waterborne infectious and parasitic diseases. The main
disinfectants are free chlorine, chloramines, chlorine dioxide and
ozone.
- Ozone is the most
efficient disinfectant for all types of microorganism.
- Chlorine for
disinfection typically is used in one of three forms: chlorine gas,
sodium hypochlorite, or calcium hypochlorite.
- The US disinfectant
and antimicrobial chemical market will grow five percent annually
through 2009 based on concerns about bacterial and pathogenic
threats. Phenolic compounds, iodophors, nitrogen compounds and
organometallics will remain the top products. The dominant
disinfectant segment will outpace antimicrobials.
- Disinfectant and
anti-microbial chemical demand will increase 3.6%/year, to $1.2
billion in 2013.
- Growth will be driven
by consumer fears of pathogens in food and around the home, as well
as by an expected rebound in production of coatings, plastics, and
other key end-products.
- Demand for
disinfectants that sanitize food preparation surfaces especially are
gaining traction, given the high risks associated with foodborne
pathogens and bacterial and viral food related infections.
- There is also
increased usage of disinfectant chemicals in various conventional
cleaning products. Increased consumer focus on meeting safety,
social, and self-actualization needs, especially by enabling safe
food storage, eliminating pests and insects, disinfecting household
surfaces, controlling garbage in a hygienic manner and by improving
sanitary conditions are driving gains for disinfectants in the
consumer segment.
