But… why isn’t 99.9% enough to protect me?

Do you know how many pathogens are left by a 99.9% effective disinfectant?

When you do the math on pathogens considering 5 million on a small surface area, that 0.1% difference equals an extra 5,000 infectious pathogens! That’s a LOT!

Disinfectants are rated by a Log Reduction test and the Log number equates to the number of nines in the percentage.

We broke down the Log numbers and percentage so you can more easily understand visually why a higher log rating is so important
Log 3 sample
LOg 3 reduction

99.9% reduction

  • Normally only used for bacteria
Log 3 sample
Log 4 sample
Log 5 sample
Log 6 sample
Log 7 sample

Starting with a sample size of 5,000,000 COVID 19 viruses, a Log 3 reduction leaves effectively 5,000 viruses left.

Log 4 sample
LOg 4 reduction

99.99% reduction

  • Common in commercial cleaners
  • Must be included in the ARTG

Starting with a sample size of 5,000,000 COVID 19 viruses, a Log 4 reduction leaves effectively 500 viruses left.

Log 5 sample
LOg 5 reduction

99.999% reduction

  • Must be included in the ARTG

Starting with a sample size of 5,000,000 COVID 19 viruses, a Log 5 reduction leaves effectively 50 viruses left.

Log 6 sample
LOg 6 reduction

99.9999% reduction

  • Less Common in Disinfectants
  • Must be included in the ARTG

Starting with a sample size of 5,000,000 COVID 19 viruses, a Log 6 reduction leaves effectively 5 viruses left.

Log 7 sample
LOg 7 reduction

99.99999% reduction

  • Must be included in the ARTG

Starting with a sample size of 5,000,000 COVID 19 viruses a Log 7 reduction leaves effectively 0 viruses left.

Why 99.99999%?

For every higher Log reduction number it is 10x stronger at killing pathogens than the last. To explain:

  • Log 4 (99.99%) compared to Log 3 (99.9%)
    10x stronger
  • Log 5 (99.999%) compared to Log 3 (99.9%)
    100x stronger
  • Log 6 (99.9999%) compared to Log 3 (99.9%)
    1,000x stronger
  • Log 7 (99.99999%) compared to Log 3 (99.9%)
    10,000x stronger
This means that SUPRCUVR™ 7 log disinfectant is 1,000 times more effective at killing COVID-19 coronavirus than a 99.99% (log 4) disinfectant.
SUPRCUVR™ kills the COVID-19 coronavirus with a 99.99999% effectiveness.
