Ocean Bio-Chem has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary has been granted an additional patent for the Company’s Disinfectant Pouch Delivery System with Fluid Control, which is used for delivery of the Company’s Performacide® product.  This new design patent supplements our existing patents.

Performacide® is an EPA-registered disinfectant and sanitizer that is included on the list published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of products that have qualified for use against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19.  Performacide® is also effective to kill other viruses and bacteria including norovirus, e. coli, salmonella enteric, MRSA and influenza-A.  A full list of viruses and bacteria that Performacide® can kill is on the retail package.

Peter Dornau, President and CEO of the Company, commented:  “The granting of the latest patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office further enhances our ability to pursue and expand sales of Performacide®, including in industries not currently served by the product.”

As previously announced, as a result of increased sales of Performacide® since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has increased personnel and shifts for the manufacture of Performacide®.  The Company is also currently expanding production capacity with the purchase of additional equipment.

Performacide® utilizes chlorine dioxide (ClO2), which is a gas dissolved in water, as a disinfectant.  ClO2 offers considerable advantages over many other traditional disinfectants, as it requires no cleanup after use, lowering user error found in many commercial applications when used as directed. Performacide® kills viruses and bacteria and then dissipates into the air leaving no carcinogens or poisonous residuals.  A strong oxidizer, it also removes foul smells, including cigarette smoke, as well as allergens.  Performacide® ships as a small, easily stored dry pouch that the user drops into a container of water. This makes it ideal for use in both commercial and residential settings.
