mixing chemicals.

Accuracy is more important than ever. Over-diluted chemicals

can result in decreased ecacy, and with today’s cleaning

challenges you need to know your surfaces are clean. With the added complication of eliminating viruses from surfaces —

including SARS-CoV-2 — you can’t aord to guess.

3M™ Chemical Management Solutions control the ow of water by adjusting to changing water pressures, providing an accurate

ready-to-use (RTU) solution.

3M outperforms the competition.

When six leading competitive dispensers were tested over a dynamic

water pressure range of 20–120 psi, 3M had the lowest dilution error.

Fighting a new foe: SARS-CoV-2.

You and your sta have an even harder job to do with the arrival of SARS-CoV-2,

the virus that causes COVID-19. The right disinfectant matched with best practices can help you keep your facility safe

without signicant impact on your process, productivity or cost.

Follow these best practices for proper disinfection:

• Ensure accurate dilution. Accuracy is more important now than ever. Choose

a chemical management solution that’s

proven to maximize accuracy.

• Keep high-touch surfaces clean.

Frequent disinfection of high-touch areas can help stop the spread of germs.

• Adhere to dwell times. Without proper

dwell times, you may leave germs

on surfaces. Minimize the impact on productivity by choosing a disinfectant

with a short dwell time, like 3M™ Quat

Disinfectant Cleaner Concentrate #5 or 3M™ Disinfectant Cleaner RCT

Concentrate #40, that kills SARS-CoV-2 on hard, nonporous surfaces in just three

minutes.
