JCN Newswire (英)
Eisai Co., Ltd. will launch Etak Antimicrobial Spray Alpha
(classified as miscellaneous goods), which contains long-acting
antimicrobial agent Etak, on September 19 (Tuesday). This product
eliminates viruses and bacteria with an antimicrobial action that
lasts for one week.
Etak, the main ingredient used in the product, is a long-acting
antimicrobial agent developed by Professor Hiroki Nikawa of the
Department of Oral Health Engineering at Hiroshima University's
Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences. An adhesive
component in Etak chemically binds the antimicrobial component to
the spray area, providing an antimicrobial effect that lasts for
one week.
In the home, there are many surfaces and items, such as doorknobs,
bannisters, tables, flooring, and toys, to which viruses and
bacteria can spread easily when touched. This product is an answer
to the needs of consumers who wish to keep those viruses and
bacteria at bay. We suggest habitually using Etak Antimicrobial
Spray Alpha to eliminate viruses and bacteria in the home.
Additionally, this product contains no alcohol and is both
scentless and colorless, making it ideal for use on a wide variety
of surfaces and items in the home.
Eisai is also marketing Etak Antimicrobial Spray, an alcohol type
spray for mouth masks which uses the same long-acting antimicrobial
agent Etak. By spraying it on a mouth mask prior to use, you can
prevent viruses and bacteria from collecting on the mask for 24
hours.
Eisai remains committed to ensuring the delivery of products that
satisfy the diversified needs of consumers and to making further
contributions to increase the benefits provided to them.

About long-acting antimicrobial agent Etak
Etak was developed by Professor Hiroki Nikawa of the Department of
Oral Health Engineering at Hiroshima University's Graduate School
of Biomedical and Health Sciences. It is a patented longacting
antimicrobial agent (patent number: 4830075) that combines
quaternary ammonium salts, which are also included in hand
sanitizers and oral cleansing agents used by dentists, with a
silane analogue, an immobilizing agent that functions as adhesive.
When a quaternary ammonium salt is sprayed onto an object, it would
normally lose its antimicrobial properties upon drying. However,
with Etak, the adhesive component chemically binds the
antimicrobial component to the spray area, thereby preserving the
antimicrobial effect.
