Introducing EV360, a New Way to Test, Disinfect and Protect During COVID

Introducing EV360, a New Way to Test, Disinfect and Protect During COVID

These unprecedented times call for innovative and new measures to protect people and keep our environments secure and safe. As the President of Brothers Fire & Security, it is my priority to continually look for ways to help our clients. Using industry Best Practices, I personally invest time in research to extend services to create safer environments for our clients, their staff, customers, residents, and visitors.

One area that has been front and center surrounding COVID-19 is maintaining virus and germ-free facilities. I think we can all agree that it’s been difficult, costly, time-consuming, and frustrating! Countless hours continue to be spent cleaning with less time to spend with your customers.

But I have great news. Based on our research, Brothers Fire & Security has determined that the process of applying EV360, a patented EPA-approved antimicrobial surface protectant, is the ultimate solution to keep your facilities virus and germ-free for up to 90 days! EV360 effectively and continuously disintegrates pathogens through patented chemical- free technology, unlike other disinfectants that only last until someone touches a surface.

Untreated vs Treated Surfaces

BioProtect

As you can see in the blue diagram, when applied to a surface or incorporated into a material, EV360 powered by BioProtect, forms a covalent bond with the substrate and creates a micro-biostatic antimicrobial coating. The coating forms a layer of spikes (self-assembling monolayer), each of which carry a positive charge that attracts the negatively charged bacteria. Once attracted, the molecular spikes pierce the cell and rupture its cell membrane, causing viruses, germs, and bacteria to die.

See the Process in Action

 

 

No hazmat garments required! The Germ Fighter’s technicians apply the EPA-certified surface protectant after testing and disinfecting the surfaces. Then, when certified for ongoing monitoring. technicians periodically test the protected surfaces to measure efficacy and ensure that the protectant is still eradicating pathogens. When you see the reports and the results, you will be confident that your facility surfaces are virus and germ-free and safe for all people and pets.

Announcing New Partnership with Germ Fighters USA

Effective November 1, 2020, we are pleased to announce our new partnership with Germ Fighters USA, a Twin Cities based company. I have personally witnessed the EV360 application process in action and am astounded at what EV360 can do. We know that our clients are struggling with the battle against COVID and looking for ways to successfully address critical health and safety issues for their businesses and the people they serve. By partnering with Germ Fighters, USA, Brothers Fire & Security will help businesses and communities do battle to clean, sanitize, and protect people and communities. We all want to win the war on germs!

Powered by BioProtect technology, EV360 has been proven to eradicate COVID, SARS-CoV-2, fungi, molds (including black mold), allergens, mildew, pollen, dust mites, bacteria and viruses like E. coli, MRSA, H1N1, C. diff, norovirus and others. EV360 is non-toxic, chemical-free and child/pet friendly. It eliminates the already environmentally stringent cleaning practices that use dangerous chemical disinfectants on all surfaces and touchpoints. EV360 keeps environments safe for 90 days, and at the same time saves you tremendous cost on manpower and supplies.

Schedule a FREE Demo for Your Business

We’d like to encourage you to schedule a free demonstration at your place of business. You’ll be able to see how the powerful technology works. You’ll experience, first-hand, how the EV360 products work, and how the process can reduce your cleanings, increase levels of safety, as well as create more time to spend with your customers! Please mention Brothers Fire & Security when you contact Germ Fighters USA at www.germfightersusa.com or call 612-865-4654.

A representative from Germ Fighters USA may be contacting you shortly to set up a time for a free demonstration of the process. We were blown away by the results, and I’m assured that you will be as well!
