About Nuke™
Antimicrobial Barrier Comparison Fact Sheet
Making choices about which antibacterial product to use is not easy. Leaching anti-bacterial products may claim to be embedded, bound or contained; but they are designed to diffuse and migrate and therefore are not ‘chemically bound’ to the surface.
It’s important to understand the facts about modes of action, toxicity, leaching and protection, before choosing your product.
Any chemical based products will promote adaptive organisms as it is the nature of organisms to adapt to an irritant and become immune to it. Organisms cannot adapt to something that physically destroys them and thus they cannot develop into Superbugs.
Comparison Factors
- Mode of Action
- Toxicity
- Leaching or non-leaching
- Adaptive Organisms
Nuke™ Based
- Physically ruptures the cell membrane
- Non hazardous, organic base
- Physically bonded to surface & non-leaching
- Does not promote adaptive organisms and thus prevents Superbugs
Triclosan Based
- Releases chlorinated phenols and other radicals for cellular absorption, causing lethal mutations
- Toxic, chemical based
- Embedded & designed to leach and be metabolised by cells
- Can create adaptive organisms
Silver Based
- Releases ionic free radicals that react with the cell DNA and disrupts critical life processes in the cell
- Mildly toxic, natural base that can distribute widely in the body and cross both blood-brain and placental barriers
- Embedded & designed to leach and be metabolised by cells
- Can create adaptive organisms
About Nuke™
With more and more Superbugs evolving every day, we have spent countless hours in the research and development of natural disinfectants that germs and bacteria cannot build an immunity to.
As a result, we have developed a range of products that do not leach and do not use chemical reactions to kill germs.
Ordinarily, when an untreated surface is touched, germs are left lying in wait for the next person that touches the same surface.
Our unique Nuke™ formulation bonds to the surface and then attacks the cell wall of any germs or bacteria that come in contact with it, rupturing the cell membrane and thus destroying it.
Because Nuke™ uses a physical action to destroy bacteria and germs, they cannot build immunity and develop into Superbugs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most frequently asked questions about Nuke Germ Barrier products and support.
What are the advantages of a Business Account?
Business account clients receive a generous discount on top of the existing bulk quantity discounts and large order free delivery offer.
How long does the protective barrier last for?
Unfortunately, bacteria testing labs do not have a set test available for duration of protection and therefore we are not allowed to make specific claims regarding this.
The most we can do is mention our own inhouse tests, which are in no way professionally accredited.
After treating a surface with Nuke™ and then infecting it 10 minutes later, the ATP meter revealed the surface to be very safe. A week later, we re-infected the surface and then tested it again, to find it still well within the safe zone.
3 months later, we re-infected and tested again, finding it still in the safe zone although only just. To err on the side of caution, we only claim it protects for 30 Days and may help protect for up to 90 Days.

Fair Go Conditions
When we state that our disinfectant remains effective for an extended period of time, we mean that such results are possible if our products are used in accordance with their instructions and under normal everyday conditions.
For example, if bleach is applied to the surface at any point after application, it will decimate the protective barrier and thus the effectiveness of the product will be compromised.
For clarification on what we consider to be unfair conditions that may affect the performance of each product, see below.
'Unfair' Conditions that may affect the performance of Nuke™ Hand Sanitiser Once Daily
For Nuke™ Hand Sanitiser Once Daily germ barrier to offer protection against bacteria and germs, any excessive build up of contaminants should be removed first by washing hands thoroughly with soap.
Once hands are clean and dry, simply apply Nuke™ Hand Sanitiser Once Daily to one hand and then rub hands together, to dispense evenly over both hands and allow to dry. Do not rinse off.
If you use other products on your hands, such as moisturiser, make sure you apply this germ barrier last.
The dryer the hands become, the stronger the bond of the antibacterial properties.
Unfair conditions include:
- The product is not used in accordance with the above instructions.
- Dilution of the product prior to use.
- Excessive hand washing with soap after application.
'Unfair' Conditions that may affect the performance of any Nuke™ Surface or HVAC protection product
For Nuke™ Germ protection products to offer protection against bacteria and germs, any excessive build up of contaminants should be removed by first cleaning the surface thoroughly.
Once the surface is clean and DRY, simply apply Nuke™ using the mist setting on spray bottles, or fog it on using fogging equipment. Gently wipe away any excess with a clean cloth and allow to dry. Do not rinse off. The dryer the surface becomes, the stronger the bond of the antibacterial properties.
Unfair conditions include:
- The product is not used in accordance with the above instructions.
- Dilution of the product prior to use, rinsing the surface after application, or the use of a wet cloth, rather than a dry one, when wiping away any excess.
- The use of harsh cleaning products, such as chlorine or bleach at any time after application of the product.
- The application of pesticides directly to the surface.
- Acts of sabotage to the surface, whether deliberate or through negligence, e.g. submitting the surface to unsanitary operational conditions such as lack of vermin and pest control or higher than normal presence of heat or moisture.

What happens if my item is damaged in transit?
Should your purchase be damaged in transit, do not reject the delivery, as that will only delay you getting a refund while we wait for the product to return to us, so we can verify the damage.
