 SEPAWA® CONGRESS recognises the outstanding  
 innovation of Solvay’s Actizone™ F5, a 24-hour  
 antimicrobial surface cleaning solution 
 Solvay has been awarded first place in the  
 innovation award category by the SEPAWA®  
 CONGRESS for its outstanding innovative  
 development in the home and hygiene field,  
 Actizone™ F5, announced during the virtual ceremony  
 held on October 14, 2021. 
 This top award is particularly significant considering

 trends, and wide-ranging know-how at this annual  
 event that brings together leading detergent,  
 cosmetics, and fragrance professionals from across

 Europe. 
 “Developing a longer-lasting disinfectant cleaner  
 that provides reliable antimicrobial benefits is one  
 of the most notable challenges facing formulators  
 today,” explains Kamel Ramdani, Research and  
 Innovation Director at Solvay. “To ensure disinfectant  
 cleaning products continue to kill microorganisms  
 for 24 hours, formulators must use advanced knowhow  
 and ingredients in the development of these  
 products.” 
 The innovation award recognizes Actizone™ F5,  
 a ready-to-use disinfectant solution that has been  
 developed using a Solvay proprietary long-lasting  
 polymer, a state-of-the-art cleaning system, and  
 industry-standard antimicrobial actives. A patented  
 technology, Actizone™ F5 provides a unique  
 combination of fast-kill properties with 24-hour  
 antimicrobial defense against bacteria and viruses,  
 including the coronavirus, and unmatched cleaning  
 experience. 
 “The launch of Actizone™ F5 comes at the right time  
 when the world is facing the challenges and serious  
 consequences originating from a global pandemic,"  
 says Oliver Hufer, General Manager of Solvay  
 Novecare’s incubator. "Lasting antimicrobial and virus  
 protection on hard surfaces will play a major role in  
 the future to fight the transmission of infections and  
 therefore protect people and save lives.” 
 Actizone™ technology traps antimicrobial actives  
 to form a protective film that o  ers 24 hours surface  
 protection as the actives remain continuously  
 available to kill bacteria and viruses as needed.  
 Multipurpose disinfectant cleaners with Actizone™  
 technology provide users with long-lasting protection  
 against bacteria and viruses, contributing to safer  
 environments for all.

 UHOO VIRUS INDEX PROVIDES ENHANCED  
 COMMERCIAL AIR QUALITY MONITORING FOR  
 BUSINESS AND EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY 
 Following the release of its latest white  
 paper, uHoo, the developers of a bestin 
 class commercial air monitor, has  
 confirmed that all its uHoo Aura devices  
 will now include Virus Index, an advanced  
 data mining tool that provides information  
 regarding indoor air quality and a realtime  
 risk assessment of virus survival  
 and transmission. Recent research has  
 proven the correlation between air quality  
 and coronavirus. The Virus Index ensures  
 business and educational venues can monitor air quality and react to a potential  
 virus conducive environment. 
 Following the COVID-19 pandemic, air quality management within a business  
 environment has become a high priority. Business owners and managers must  
 be proactive in monitoring environmental conditions that can encourage an  
 airborne virus to thrive and have the data required to take action to ensure  
 healthy sta   or students and reduce absence rates. 
 “Following the launch of the uHoo Aura, enhancing the uHoo Virus Index was  
 an essential step in our development,” said Dustin Onghanseng, Founder of  
 uHoo. “We identified through our research that understanding the parameters  
 of ‘virus survival’ would be a major part of getting businesses back into the  
 workplace post the pandemic lockdown. Providing business and school  
 environments with a device that provides essential and useful data was critical in  
 bringing people back.”
