  • Low perfume (lemon) level.
  • Provides a lab-tested & documented premium level of bacterial, viral and mould elimination and odour neutralisation.
DEOSAN – Benefits & Features
  • Blend of two bactericides with potentiating agents. Lower actives level than Biosan but still higher than Prochem Duo.

    fabric and hard surfaces in medical institutions, community facilities and homes where positive disinfection is required for health requirements and the documented proof are required.
