rough surfaces.Together with the high concentration
of active ingredients, this makes Intra Multi-Des GA a
very effective biocide even at low concentrations.
Intra Multi-Des GA is currently registered in several
countries, mainly for use as a disinfectant against
bacteria and yeasts/fungi at a concentration of
0.2%.The main areas of use include public health
(PT2), veterinary (PT3) and areas where feed/food
is processed (PT4).Within the PT3 area, viruses
also form a serious threat that causes diseases and
financial losses.
Veterinary virus efficacy
The latest study of Intra Multi-Des GA demonstrated
its efficacy against veterinary viruses, by elimination
of the worst-case virus. In cooperation with an
independent laboratory specialised in microbiological
testing the product was found to be effective against
Bovine EnteroVirus, also known as the ECBO virus,
when used in a concentration of 0.75%.
The study was performed in accordance with the
European Norm EN 14675.This standardised study
method describes Bovine EnteroVirus as the test
pathogen, as it is considered a worst-case virus in the
veterinary field. In addition, testing was performed
under soiling conditions (presence of 3 g/l albumin)
and at a temperature of only 10 °C to represent
veterinary conditions. A 10log reduction of
≥
4 was
found meaning the pathogen was eliminated for
≥
99.99%, which passed the test criteria.
Regulatory
The study fully complies with the latest European
requirements for virus efficacy testing of veterinary
biocides (PT3), as laid down in the Biocidal Product
Regulations (Regulation (EU) 528/2012) implemented
by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). Based
on this study, Intra Multi-Des GA can therefore be
classified as effective against viruses relevant for
veterinary areas.

“A virus is a parasitic
agent that is smaller than a
bacterium and that can only
reproduce after infecting
a host cell: a living cell of
other organisms.Viruses
are important pathogens
of humans and animals.
Diseases such as Foot-and-
mouth disease, Swine fever,
Aujeszky’s disease and Avian
influenza are caused by
viruses”
