Environmentally Safe

PronTech with its patented formulation is completely biodegradable.  Not only is it safe for the environment if an accident does occur, but the clean up process is simple.  All you will need to do is sweep it up and properly dispose of what was spilled.  When you are handling more harmful chemicals be sure to take proper precautions.  For me info on handling toxic chemicals click the link below.

Make Sure You Are Covered!!

For Horse Enthusiasts

Here is a quick video discussing cleaning and disinfecting horse stalls and stables.  Remember with PronTech, it is non-corrosive and even at high concentrations it is not irritable.  PronTech also has excellent penetrating ability allowing it to penetrate untreated wood to kill bacteria living in there as well as penetrate dirt floors.  PronTech is your safe, reliable choice for your Equine needs.

Bacteria build resistance to more than just antibiotics, they also can build a resistance to disinfectants.  PronTech is designed in a way that bacteria cannot build a resistance.  This makes it more effective than other kinds of disinfectants because you will always get the same kinds of results.

Accidents Do Happen

Swine Flu

In the US the swine flu maybe a larger threat to public safety than the bird flu.  Recently there was an outbreak of bird flu in Arkansas, but this outbreak was quickly found and contained.  No humans were affected and the threat of an outbreak is over.  With that being said, 4 local citizens in Indiana have become ill with swine flu after visiting a local fair.  They are all being treated and a full blown outbreak seems unlikely, but bio-security has to become part of our daily mindset as handlers of livestock.  PronTech is the ideal disinfectant to be used because of its ability to be used in high amounts of organic matter.  PronTech also, has a very low toxicity.  This allows it to be used throughout your operation. When going to fairs and livestock shows make sure to do your part in helping to maintain a safe environment.  Use PronTech to clean your trucks and trailers before leaving your farm.  You will also want to make sure your boots are cleaned and disinfected.  You can then use PronTech to maintain a clean bedding for your animals while at the fair.  Anyone who comes in contact with your animals will need to use TopSani to clean there hands.  TopSani is our patented hand sanitizer made with PronTech.  The most important bio-security measure is to make sure your animals are clean and healthy before ever leaving your facilities.  With proper practices and working together to ensure all proper steps are taken we can help to minimize further outbreaks of harmful diseases.

I have added a link to the article discussing the swine flu in Indiana if you want to know more what happened there.
