HC A Goldshield® Sporicidal High Level Disinfectant with New Residual Barrier Goldshield®'s unique sporicidal disinfectant has been tested against Clostridium difficile spores and passed the EN13704 test with a log reduction of 106. Goldshield®’s unique technology differs to other similar technologies in that it not only kills microorganisms and is sporicidal but also leaves an invisible residual layer on any surface once dry. Most other formulations contain quaternary ammonium compounds only (QAC) as the main biocidal active, which is not capable of leaving an antimicrobial barrier once dry. Goldshield Sporicidal is therefore a dual function biocide not only broad spectrum against bacteria, fungi, viruses and bacterial spores but also leaves an invisible protective layer. This barrier provides incredible long-lasting defense against recontamination
