Chemicals & Cleaning Supplies: 2009 H1N1 Flu Information

As flu season nears, we are seeing increased media attention on the H1N1 Flu including large estimates on how many people will catch the virus this flu season. IPI has received numerous inquiries concerning this virus.

The 2009 H1N1 Flu is caused by an influenza A virus. The EPA believes, based on available scientific information, that the currently registered influenza A virus products will be effective against the 2009 H1N1 flu strain and other influenza A virus strains on hard, non-porous surfaces.*

The following IPI products all have label claims against one form of influenza A virus. You can use these products with confidence in your facilities, where there is a concern with influenza A virus.

Unique RTU Ready-to-use formula $2.65/quart	Ultra Unique Dilute ½ oz per gallon of water $26.99/gallon $102.85/5-gallon	Maxima 256 Dilute ½ oz per gallon of water (dispenser use only) $15.36/half-gallon	C-Spra Disinfectant Ready-to-use formula $4.55/quart

Frequent hand washing in your facilities is also vital to not spreading the influenza A virus to others. When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based sanitizers are effective.** IPI recommends the following products to help reduce the spread of germs in your facilities:

Indulgence Foaming Antimicrobial Hand Soap $7.95/bag	SaniWash Antimicrobial Handwash $2.10/pint	Antiseptic Bio-Hand Cleaner $2.30/4 oz. bottle	Non-Alcohol Hand Sanitizer*** $10.80/dispenser refill bag $3.75/1.7oz bottle $10.98/16oz pump bottle

***Though the scientific evidence is not as extensive as that on hand washing and alcohol-based sanitizers, other hand sanitizers that do not contain alcohol may be useful for killing flu germs on hands.
