EPA Approved Antimicrobial Technology

How it works

Our EPA-approved antimicrobial is created through a patented, proprietary process by Safe Life Corporation, in which iodine is fused with a polymer under heat and pressure. It controls the delivery and dosage of molecular iodine directly to microorganisms, thus providing built-in antimicrobial and antifungal activities.

The Power of Iodine

When it comes to providing the very best in antimicrobial protection, iodine is in a league of its own. A naturally occurring substance that can be found in soil, seawater and marine life, iodine's advantages are both vast and undeniable. Consider these facts about iodine:

  • Iodine is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
  • Iodine is biocidal, meaning it kills microorganisms.
  • Iodine acts with rapid speed.
  • Bacteria have never developed resistance to iodine.
  • An abundance of iodine exists naturally.


Test Results

Our EPA-approved antimicrobial has been tested and proven effective against a wide-range of clinically relevant microorganisms, including:

  • Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
  • Avian Influenza A
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Pseudomonas pseudomallei
  • Stahpylococcus epidermidis
  • Escherichia coli
  • Poliovirus
  • Rotavirus
  • SARS Coronavirus
  • Enterococcus faecalis
  • Enterobacter cloacae
  • Klebsiella pneumoniae
  • Klebsiella terrigena
  • Aspergillus niger
  • Candida albicans
  • Trichophyton mentagrophytes
  • Giardia cysts
  • Bacillus anthracis
  • Brucella abortus
  • Francisella tularensis
  • Proteus vulgaris
  • Streptoccous pyrogenes
  • Serratia marscenes


Results based on independent laboratory testing.

NIOSH has certified the T-5000 and the T-5000Vcertifies respirators to meet the requirements in 42 CFR 84, but NIOSH does not certify, test or endorse any independent studies.
