Klorsept
Klorsept is an effervescent disinfectant tablets commonly used in hospitals, (medical grade or hospital grade) . It is a powerful, safe, disinfection tablets which is powerfully active against bacteria, viruses, mycobacteria, fungi and spores.
Klorsept solutions can be mixed with anionic detergents or non-ionic detergents such as soap and washing up liquids to clean and disinfect at the same time.

Alternate Product Names : Aquatabs Food Service tablets, Septrivet, Credence, BruTabs 6 S, Aquasept, Mastisept, Purtabs, Vigilant, 3 M C Diff, Presept, Reliant, GreenKlen
Example – SEPTRIVET
Septrivet is a tablet which is added to water to kill harmful micro-organisms. It can be used as a wipe, dip or spray. It has proven efficacy against Foot & Mouth Disease, Swine Vesicular Disease, Newcastle Disease, General Orders and Avian Influenza. It is used for the disinfection of footbaths, vehicles, equipment, fittings, animal houses, structural elements, walls and floors.
Medentech has validated the effectiveness of Septrivet for environmental control of pathogens by carrying out a comprehensive in vitro test programme on a wide spectrum of micro-organisms of significance to the farmer and consumer.
What is Klorsept? (hospital grade or medical grade disinfectants)
- Klorsept is a broad spectrum biocide in an effervescent tablet form when added to water. It releases an exact disinfectant does, giving it complete reliability in use. Klorsept is available in different concentrations. Klorsept 5, Klorsept 17, Klorsept 25 and Klorsept 87
- Environmentally friendly as tablets requires less storage space, (not necessary to have many litres of bottles in store. Less wastage on plastic bottles. )
- It is used to disinfect high, intermediate and low level environmental surfaces in clinical settings.
- Specially formulated to give exact and easy to prepare disinfecting solutions with broad spectrum activity against micro organisms including :
- Clostridium difficile spores in 4 minutes
- Bacteria: Escherichia spp, Campylobacter, C. difficile spores, E.coli 0157, Enterococcus, Leptospira, Listeria, MRSA, Pseudomonas spp, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus,
- Mycobacteria: Tuberculosis
- Fungi: Aspergillus, Candida and others
- Spores: Bacillus spp.
- Virus: Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) , Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Herpe virus, Poliomyelitis, SARS, coronavirus, Bird Flu, H1N1 (Swine Flu), Norovirus
What are the advantages of Klorsept versus other Chlorine Disinfectants?
- Klorsept solutions are neutral, enhancing their activity, but other chlorine disinfectants are alkaline and much less effective.
- Klorsept in solution has “bound” and “free” in equilibrium. As free reactive chlorine is used inactivating microorganisms, some bound chlorine is released to restore equilibrium and maintain the biocidal effectiveness of the Klorsept solution. This effectiveness is maintained until all the “bound” chlorine is consumed. Other chlorine disinfectants do not have this stabilising mechanism and do not remain effective biocides for as long as Klorsept.
- A closed tub of Klorsept remains stable for 3 years, whereas some hypochlorite products can lose activity in a few months.
- Hypochlorites and other disinfectants are manufactured to various compositions and strengths. Therefore it is necessary to check and evaluate before calculating the required dosage.
- Klorsept is less tarnishing and less corrosive than hypochlorite and will not leave streaks or residues on high gloss floors. EPA registered.
Klorsept is available in tablet and granule form. Klorsept tablets are added to water to create a disinfectant solution for surface disinfection. It helps infection control by quickly acting against a wide spectrum of micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses, mycobacteria, spores and fungi & biofilm. Klorsept granules are a non-effervescent composition used for the disinfection and absorption of liquid spillages that maybe microbially contaminated, particularly body fluids, and blood products.
Klorsept is effective against Clostridium difficile (C. diff) and TB within 4 minutes even in dirty conditions.
Klorsept is available in 4 tablet sizes : 5, 17, 25, 87 and along with 500gm of granules. Shelf life of up to 3 years.
Application Dilution : General disinfection for cleaned non-critical areas eg. walls, floors, food handling surfaces, trolleys – 200 ppm of Klorsept 5 in 1.5 litre of water.
