FAQ's

What are TECcare technologies?

Talley Environmental Care Ltd utilizes a breakthrough technology platform to produce the TECcare antimicrobial technologies product range. This unique platform is a mixture of inert proprietary materials which act as an adjuvant allowing the utilization of minute levels of traditional actives. This unique proprietary manufacturing technique, combined with traditional actives, produces world class, safe and highly efficacious antimicrobial solutions.

Are TECcare technologies safe?

Unlike some products in the market place the technology does not contain damaging chemicals and skin irritants such as alcohols, phenols, chlorine and aldehydes, so it avoids the serious hazard issues of products like Hydrogen Peroxide and Chlorine releasing agents such as bleach. The technology is safe and has no effect on mammalian (human) cells, it is well suited for repeated use on all surfaces as well as being highly effective, fully biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

Can TECcare technologies kill MRSA?

Both TECcare Control and TECcare Ultra have been shown by independent laboratories to kill MRSA and a wide range of other potentially dangerous bacteria.

Can TECcare technologies kill spores such as Clostridium difficile?

TECcare Control is a sporostatic product according to independent "true" dry surface spore testing carried out by the WHO / EU C.diff reference laboratories in Belgium as it reduces the number of spores over a period of time. The progressive action of TECcare Control provides continual protection against spore colonisation.

TECcare Ultra is a true sporocidal product and has passed new stringent Environmental Protection Agency approved testing protocols for killing Clostridium Difficile spores under Good Laboratory Practice conditions and "true" dry surface spore testing carried out by the WHO / EU C.diff reference laboratories in Belgium.

Can TECcare technologies protect surfaces for prolonged periods of time?

TECcare technologies leave a progressive sustained protective layer on treated surfaces which continue to kill/deactivate microorganisms for prolonged periods of time. This ‘surface conditioning’ is an invisible layer left on treated surfaces that naturally degrades over time.
