The 3M C. diff Solution Tablet is an EPA-registered disinfectant effective on virtually all washable, hard, non-porous surfaces commonly found in clinical and hospital environments. Its formulation is highly compatible with a wide variety of materials and application areas.

Compatible Materials Include:

• Metal and Stainless steel
• Plastic
• Glazed ceramic

Application Areas Include:

• Structural Surfaces: Floors, walls, and countertops.
• Restroom Fixtures: Sinks, bathtubs, urinals, and toilet bowls.
• High-Touch Objects: Tables, chairs, telephones, and garbage cans.

A significant advantage is the mild formulation. The use dilution maintains a nearly neutral pH (5.5 to 6.5), making it substantially less corrosive than bleach or peracetic acid alternatives, which helps protect the longevity of your facility’s surfaces and equipment.

The 3M C. diff Solution Tablet is formulated for rapid preparation, which supports quick room turnover in clinical settings. heres a breakdown of the time specifications: * Dissolution Time: The tablet dissolves quickly in water, taking approximately 3 minutes to form the ready-to-use solution. * Solution Stability (Shelf Life): Once prepared, the disinfectant solution remains stable and fully effective for 7 days when stored in a closed container. The user-friendly nature of this product is enhanced by its near-neutral pH (5.5 to 6.5) at use dilution, meaning no Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required for application.

The 3M C. diff Solution Tablets offer excellent stability, which is highly beneficial for inventory management. The shelf life depends on the product format:

• Sealed Tablets: When kept in their original, sealed packaging, the tablets have a long shelf life of 5 years.
• Diluted Solution: Once prepared, the solution retains its full efficacy for 7 days (one week), provided it is stored in a closed container.

Yes, the 3M C. diff Solution Tablet is a highly cost-effective disinfection solution. It costs significantly less than ready-to-use bleach products, offering a budget-friendly option for effective disinfection in various settings.

Yes, the 3M C. diff Solution Tablets are designed for flexible preparation of both quart and gallon volumes of the hospital-grade disinfectant solution. This allows users to mix the exact amount needed for the application.

Key features of the preparation process:

• Rapid Preparation: The tablets dissolve quickly, in approximately three minutes, ensuring quick access to the solution.
• Flexibility: The tablet format allows for mixing different batch sizes to accommodate varied disinfection requirements.
• Solution Stability: Once diluted, the prepared solution maintains efficacy for up to 7 days when stored in a closed container.

The high-efficacy formulation of the 3M C. diff Solution Tablet uses the following EPA-registered active ingredients:

• Adipic Acid
• Sodium Carbonate

This specific combination allows the disinfectant to achieve powerful results against C. diff and other pathogens while maintaining a relatively mild profile compared to traditional harsh cleaners:

• Near-Neutral pH: The solution achieves a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 at use dilution, making it significantly less corrosive than bleach or peracetic acid.
• Safety Profile: Due to its mildness, no specialized Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required when the solution is used at the specified dilution.

Yes, the diluted solution has a near-neutral pH, which is a key advantage. The working solution has a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5.

This neutral profile makes it significantly milder and less corrosive than traditional harsh disinfectants, such as bleach or peracetic acid, contributing to better surface compatibility and enhanced user comfort.

No, specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) is not required when using the 3M C. diff Solution Tablet at its use dilution.

This is because the formulation results in a nearly neutral pH of 5.5 to 6.5, making it significantly milder and safer to handle than traditional disinfectants like bleach or peracetic acid.
