● Reduces the risk of equipment and surface contamination
● Organic food-grade antimicrobial
Application AREAS
Food equipment.
Regulations
The active ingredients of ANTIFILM™ TX CONCENTRATE are Polylysine and Lysozyme, which have been approved as food antimicrobial in USA. The regulations governing the use ANTIFILM™ TX
CONCENTRATE vary considerably in the countries in which it is currently approved.

BIOFILM
A biofilm is a source of constant contamination created by an accumulation of bacteria which develops a protective matrix made of organic polymers, polysaccharides, proteins, DNA, lipids, etc.
Biofilms have a protective matrix which protects bacteria itself, making them more resistant to traditional cleaning and disinfection agents. Microorganisms such as Listeria
monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Leuconostoc spp. can be found into a biofilm.
ANTIFILM™ TX CONCENTRATE is a unique formula from food-grade antimicrobials, which can powerfully remove the biofilm of these microorganisms and prevents contamination from food
facilities.
