SteriFum

The disinfectant power of STERIFUM is very high and the product has also a well known actions as a potent bactericide, fungicide and virucide. STERIFUM is an active agent against: colibacillus, salmonella, streptococcus, staphylococcus, brucella, shigellae, pasturellae, proteous and also fungus and viruses. These bacteria are immediately killed by the action of formaldehyde gas. However, during the practice of disinfection, the time of contact between the bacteria and the gas is longer than necessary, in order to allow the gas saturation of the place. The concentration of formaldehyde necessary to obtain a disinfecting action varies according to the period of contact of the gas in the room and the objects to disinfect. One block of STERIFUM is needed for 100/400 $m^3$ of premises according to the sector of utilization. Each block of STERIFUM must be placed on a metallic tray or on a heat resistant material. When the flame spread all over the block, it has to be extinguished by covering for a few seconds: a slow flameless combustion has begun. Thus a constant emission of formaldehyde gas is obtained for about 3 hours. The strong and lasting bactericide power and the iniquity for most of the materials make the application of STERIFUM very rapid and simple.
