Disinfection

Heat treatment is used for the sterilization and / or devitalization of both imported and exported goods without the use of toxic gases. It is an environmentally friendly solution that is safe and harmless to your goods and products.

Goods suitable for this treatment include bird seeds, grains, herbs, bark products, Bali grass thatching, water hyacinth and moss products.

With export packaging guidelines that came into effect in early to mid-2004, exporters have the option for fumigation, heat treatment or kiln drying.

Our experience at Ehrlich shows that due to the damaging affects of Methyl Bromide on the Ozone layer, some countries prefer heat treated timber packaging.

What level of protection does your business need?

Concerns around COVID-19 have led to a rapid increase in disinfection services, leading many businesses to wonder exactly what they need to do. As part of a global business services company, Ehrlich has tapped into expertise from around the world to create a flexible service that can be applied to nearly any business.

Every Disinfection Service is customized because no two operations have the same needs. Ehrlich’s experts will work with you to understand your unique facility, processes, and needs so that we can determine the appropriate level of disinfection and protection.

Precautionary safety measures:

The protection of your people, customers, and our service personnel is our top priority. Ehrlich’s Specialists will wear protective gear while conducting service. In cases where there has been a COVID-19 exposure, we will work with you to set up a special staging area for donning and removing this protective gear to further protect your facility.

How our disinfectant works against COVID-19

Unlike gastrointestinal viruses such as norovirus that have an outer protein layer, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is an enveloped virus. This means that the virus has a protective fatty shell around it. This fatty shell is easily penetrated by disinfectants, which then inactivate the virus. However, traditional spray and wipe-down cleaning methods can miss up to 50% of surfaces. A professionally conducted disinfection service is the best tool to reach all surfaces and areas.

Disinfectant approval:

Ehrlich uses a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-registered product designated as a disinfectant on List N, the registry for products approved for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Our formula is also labeled for use against: Norovirus, H1N1, SARS, MRSA, Canine Parvo, Swine Flu, Avian Flu, E. Coli, Salmonella, fungi & more.
