Log4+allow users to achieve a 99.99% reduction in both gram positive & gram negative bacteria (MRSA, E-coli, and Pseudomonas) under indoor light conditions at normal room temperatures and humidity levels without using any harmful silver or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Their technology is independently certified, is visible light activated not requiring UV, is permanent, non-leeching, contains no silver, is economic & commercially viable and non-toxic. Log4+ is applicable to all glass and ceramic types, it is scratch resistant and visually clear and importantly it does not alter the host glass or ceramic in terms of functionality or appearance. Log4+ can be in-line applied resulting in production efficiencies and cost savings for their clients creating significant revenue and market share potential.
