Symposium covers respiratory mask cleaning

Stephen Falder, inventor of Byotrol hygiene technology, spoke at the 50th annual SAFE Association symposium in Reno, Nevada, addressing an audience of military safety experts on the benefits of using Byotrol to improve the quality and safety of aviator respiratory masks.

Unlike traditional technologies which cease to work when they dry, Byotrol is said to continue to work, killing 99.9% germs for up to 24 hours without degrading the surfaces it touches.

"Byotrol's powerful action is vital in this application, but of greater importance is Byotrol's gentleness on these expensive and sensitive pieces of equipment," Falder said.

"Historically, cleaning has damaged the respiratory masks, putting personnel at high risk of infection as damaged masks are a breeding ground for microbes. Byotrol is able to clean without degrading the equipment, improving compliance and ensuring safer working conditions for aviators."
