Byotrol gets green light for product sales in the US

Daresbury hygiene firm Byotrol has received approval for its germ-killing product in the US, and received its first orders to retail on online giant Amazon.

The specialist anti-microbial technology company said today it has now completed the product registration process in the US for its 24-hour germ-kill surface sanitizer.

All 50 US states have now formally approved the product for sale, following receipt of approval from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in June 2017.

The formulation has been under development at Byotrol for more than eight years and the directors believe it offers unique performance characteristics, such as ’24 hour surface protection against bacteria’.

The directors are not aware of any other EPA-approved product for US consumers that offers similar claims.

With the approvals in place, Byotrol is now able to sell in US retail, on-line and to institutional customers.

The firm said it will be marketing its products under the name “Byotrol24” and will keep shareholders informed as it make further commercial progress.

In a statement today the company said: “We are also pleased to announce that we have already secured our first order for Byotrol24, for sale via a professional re-seller on Amazon.com.

“Whilst not yet meaningful in financial terms, this is a very important first step for us, not least as we have now completed the necessary registration processes for Amazon, the world’s largest online shopping destination.”
