New disinfectant platform able to be used at funeral homes

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Following the COVID-19 pandemic, one sector that had some issues when it came to their disinfection process were funeral homes. Many people have lost friends or family due to the virus, and wanted to celebrate their life in the way that was right for them. Given how little the world knew about this disease, funeral home workers were nervous that they could contract the virus from decedents they were working with. While PPE was not only encouraged but required in many cases, funeral home workers wanted to make sure they were kept healthy while at work.

The new Paerosol MAG, or micro-aerosol generator, is a non-toxic and proprietary disinfectant platform. In conjunction with Paerolyte’s liquid disinfectant, the mico-aerosol generator takes the liquid disinfectant and turns it into a dry spray. This dry spray acts like a gas and can embed itself both into the air and onto surfaces, killing up to 99.9999% of viruses, bacteria, and mold1. In order to do this, the dry spray creates sub-micron particles, ranging from .1 – 2 microns (one micron is one-thousandth of a millimeter), allowing the disinfectant to get into soft surfaces such as carpeting or seat cushions, or harder surfaces such as prepping tables, walls and anything within the room that is being treated. The use of the micro-aerosol generator can help stop the spread of infectious diseases by treating the sanctuary where services take place between each service. Prolonged use of the micro-aerosol generator will allow for a less time required to disinfect the room the more it is used. The Paerosol MAG, in conjunction with Paerolyte’s liquid disinfectant, also contains a deodorizing property to it. Compared to other products on the market, the micro-aerosol generator will actively remove odors instead of covering them up, allowing the space to smell the way it was supposed to. The micro-aerosol generator is a cost-effective and easy to use alternative that can help keep funeral homes sanitized and keep their patrons safe and healthy.

“The research and development put into the MAG [micro-aerosol generator] and the liquid disinfectant has yielded amazing results to help people in a place like funeral homes stay safe and healthy while celebrating the loss of a loved one.”
