A revolutionary disinfectant with all the upsides and none of the downsides
No precautionary warning on label!
Most disinfectant technologies fail in delivering efficacy, safety or sustainability. Formulated with Hydrogen Peroxide and chemicals in FDA's GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) list, OPTIM is a disinfectant cleaner with a difference. With 60 second bactericidal & virucidal contact time, OPTIM has the PERFECT BALANCE between safety & efficacy.
OPTIM 33 TB's disinfectant technology (Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide) is the FIRST & ONLY disinfectant cleaner technology approved and certified by EcoLogo - Environmental Choice Program.
60 sec. bactericidal & virucidal - REALISTIC contact time increases the likelihood of proper usage

Utilizing Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP), a revolutionary disinfectant technology, OPTIM 33TB is an EPA registered disinfectant cleaner with a difference.
The OPTIM Advantage: A disinfectant with the perfect balance between safety & efficacy.
How safe is OPTIM 33TB?
Based on the EPA toxicity categorization of antimicrobial products that ranges from Category I (high toxicity) down to Category IV, OPTIM 33TB has the lowest toxicity category assigned of which precautionary warning label is not required.
This compares with Category II / III warning / caution statements for most leading brands of antimicrobial products.
Highly toxic (o-phenylphenol recognized to cause cancer in the state of California - Preposition 65)
Contain hazardous ingredients
EPA Toxicity Level 4 - no warnings required
Irritating to eyes & skin
May cause dry skin & eyes and skin irritation
Non-irritant
May contain hormone disrupting agents
Contribute to poor indoor air quality (VOC's)
No noxious fumes & fragrance free
Hazard Facts
Combustible
Volatile, flammable and must be stored in well-ventilated area
Classified as non-hazardous and non-flammable
Poor biodegradability
No waste treatment required, biodegradable
Contact Times
Long contact times (e.g. 10 minutes)
Alcohol presence allows for relatively short contact times
Short contact times (1 minute virucidal & bactericidal, 5 minutes TB claim)
Precautionary statements examples
"DANGER", "severely irritating to eyes & skin, combustible", "hazard to humans and domestic animals", "corrosive, causes irreversible eye damage"
"CAUTION", "hazard to humans & domestic animals", "causes eye irritation", "probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage", "flammable"
* EPA Toxicity Level 4 - no warnings required, except for the standard statement: "Keep out of reach of children"

In every medical practice, the prevention of infectious disease represents a constant challenge. One such significant risk exists when environmental surfaces are not properly maintained, thereby creating a potential reservoir for pathogens. OPTIM 33 TB One-Step Disinfectant Cleaner offers the optimal infection control choice that helps you maintain a clean and safer working environment.
OPTIM 33 TB is formulated with AHP®*, a globally patented technology. In terms of disinfectant active ingredients, AHP is the 1st new disinfectant technology in 20 years, of among over 8,000 EPA registered disinfecting products. The active ingredient – 0.5% Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide – is a synergistic blend of commonly used, safe ingredients that, when combined with low levels of hydrogen peroxide, produces exceptional potency as a germicide and performance as a cleaner. These claims are all backed with governmental registrations and extensive third party analysis. Furthermore, AHP contains only those ingredients listed on the U.S.A. inert ingredients listings and the FDA GRAS listing (Generally Regarded As Safe), which contribute to an unsurpassed health, safety and environmental profile.
The Importance of Viruses
Today’s world is full of challenging viruses and bacteria. In the last 30 years, 30 new diseases have been diagnosed, one per year. Did you know that non-enveloped viruses such as Norwalk-like viruses (Feline Calicivirus), Poliovirus and even a common-cold virus (Rhinovirus) are resistant to many surface disinfectants? These viruses are far less susceptible to disinfectants at their in use dilutions than the easier to kill enveloped viruses (such as Influenza A, HIV, Herpes Simplex, Hepatitis B, etc.). The ability to kill non-enveloped viruses in reasonable contact times is relevant and important in all industries. OPTIM 33 TB kills them in 1 minute!
OPTIM – Fast & Effective!
1 Minute Virucidal claim against non-enveloped and enveloped viruses!
1 Minute Bactericidal claim!
30 Second Sanitizer – 99.9% broad-spectrum kill (>3 log reduction) of vegetative bacteria!
