At the end of July, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that several Lonza products have been tested directly against the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and have been specifically approved to kill the virus on hard surfaces.

The approved Lonza products include:
• Lonzagard RCS-256 Plus (EPA Reg. No. 6836-349)
• Lonzagard RCS-128 Plus (EPA Reg. No. 6836-348) 
• Lonzagard S-21 (EPA Reg. No. 6836-75) 
• Lonzagard R-82 (EPA Reg. No. 6836-78) 
• Lonzagard S-21F (EPA Reg. No. 6836-140) 
• Lonzagard S-18 (EPA Reg. No. 6836-77) 
• Lonzagard S-18F (EPA Reg. No. 6836-136) 
• Lonzagard R-82F (EPA Reg. No. 6836-139) 
• Lonzagard DC-103 (EPA Reg. No. 6836-152)
• Lonzagard R-82G (EPA Reg. No. 6836-381) 
• Lonzagard RCS-256 (EPA Reg. No. 6836-346) 
• Lonzagard RCS-128 (EPA Reg. No. 6836-347)

According to Kiran Kulkarni, Lonza marketing manager – Professional Hygiene, four wipe registrations were approved by the EPA to kill SARS-CoV-2 including Lonza Disinfectant Wipes (EPA Reg. No. 6836-313); Lonza Disinfectant Wipes Plus (EPA Reg. No. 6836-336); Lonza Disinfectant Wipes Plus 2 (EPA Reg. No. 6836-340); and NUGEN Low Streak Disinfectant Wipes (EPA Reg. No. 6836-382).

“We have seen unprecedented demand for quat-based disinfectant products and we know the important role many Lonza products play in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic,” says Ernesto Lippert, Lonza vice president of Strategic Development & Advocacy. “We are pleased the EPA has approved these products as effective against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and commit to working to continue to meet the incredible demand for these critical products.”

In other news, Lonza’s NUGEN NR Disinfectant Wipe was selected as a finalist for the World of Wipes Innovation award. The NUGEN NR Disinfectant Wipes registration is designed to be a one-step no-rinse food contact surface disinfectant. It can clean and disinfect surfaces without detergent pre-clean or potable water-rinse requirements even on food contact surfaces. Also, the wipe kills a broad set of bacteria and viruses such as Norovirus – a key food safety gap not addressed by pre-saturated food contact surface sanitizing wipes.
