Short answer--haven't used these.

So I read through a brochure (the one from the ABSA query) and your link. No EPA registration #, no mention of the product being effective against viruses, particularly not coronaviruses.

If it doesn't state on the label that it is effective against a particular biological agent or class of interest, I'm not sure what it has going for it. The EPA registration number basically allows a manufacturer to make the claim the disinfectant is effective against whatever agents it has been tested on and has shown a certain level of efficacy. Not all disinfectants work on all biological agents--for example, greater than 60% ethanol is effective against COVID-19 but not against Hepatitis A.

Hope this is helpful-unfortunately, probably not the answer you were hoping for...

Are you referring to "Microban" type products?

Thank you,

Hi Everyone,

Copying a question I saw in another group, does anyone have used antimicrobial-type tapes for highly touched areas?

Can you share your thoughts?

Thank you,

Alessandra
