(Also,
Our New, Low Cost, Portable, Battery-Operated, Backpack Decontamination Dry Fogger
) Why the DF2S is a valuable Decontaminating Fogger :
- Decontaminate large areas up to 35,000 Cubic feet/cycle, operated with Remote Control for 360-degree coverage and vertical coverage
- 40 gallons concentrated Minncare Sterilant, optional, EPA Registered, tested against and kills Coronavirus, fungi, spores, molds, bio-organisms
- With a 3.5% Minncare mix in Distilled water, DF2S provides a typical 7 million total cubic feet sterilization using 40 gallons of Minncare.
- Use 3 – 10% Minncare Sterilant in purified water to fight Coronavirus and COVID-19.
- Stainless steel DF2S rolls easily from point to point to sanitize very large areas. Uses compressed air only and comes with Air Quality Test Instruments
- Use in medium to large office areas, work areas, hospitals, medical facilities, pharmaceutical ISOSuites and Sterile Rooms. m.s
- Compare the DF2 low-cost humidifiers to uncertified, converted humidifiers that have no EPA Registration, no Sterilant MSDS & SDS. Humidifiers provide a single-direction fog output rather than 360 degrees, require a water hose input, a compressor line input and an electrical input for operation. Drag that around all day!
DF2S Dry Fogger is provided with 6 atomizing nozzles to create a decontaminating fog to kill coronavirus, as the Coronavirus technical paper reports. The DF2S can use hydrogen peroxide at a 3.5% mixture to sterilize plant leaves from unwanted sporicidal growth and sanitize hemp and cannabis leaves. Even better and less expensive, use Minncare sterilant to kill more than 99.997% of yeast, mold, enveloped viruses, fungi and bacteria. The decontaminating fog evaporates to about 35,000 cubic foot vapor to contact all surface areas, wall surfaces and appliances in that closed area, contacting all accessible surfaces to kill off over 99.997% of bacteria, molds, yeast and fungi. Once a room is sanitized after a 30-90 minute cycle, the air system is turned back on to remove vapor with necessary room air exchanges, allowing staff to re-enter the room for operation. No residue is left behind and the DF2S with Minncare sterilant is fast and a far more effective decontaminating tool than humidifiers converted to a sterilization function, offering no EPA Registration, no MSDS or SDS sterilant documents suggested for use with a converted humidifier. The DF2S Decontaminating Fogger uses Minncare Sterilant, which is EPA-registered. Minncare has been proven effective in killing off the coronavirus aggressively within 3-5 minutes. The recent COVID-19 coronavirus is a similar envelope virus to the original coronavirus.
Dryfog Disinfectant Fogger
DF2S Decontaminating Fogger generates ≈ 11.1 cubic meters of visible sterilant fog/minute, which evaporates and exponentially expands to cover ≈ 35,000 cubic feet per operating cycle of 90 minutes. The DF2S uses a solution of Minncare sterilant in Purified Water or Deionized Water to kill viruses, enveloped viruses such as Coronavirus, bacterial growth, molds, spores, fungi and bio-organisms @ 99.997% efficiency. With 40 gallons, Minncare provided, the total sterilant volume provided is about a million cubic feet.
What are the key advantages of using a cold sterilant as compared to vaporizers and backpack sprayers?
- No Residue left behind on walls and surfaces
- Minncare sterilant is highly effective against viruses, but can also be used with hydrogen peroxide only.
- Minncare has EPA Reg. NO.: 52252-4; EPA Est. NO.: 52252-MN-01; MSDS Available
- No preventive maintenance as with electro-spray vaporizer sterilizing machines
- Liquid sterilant converted to 7.5 micron aerosol, which then evaporates, going into all open areas, killing mold, viruses, yeast, fungi, gray mold, bacteria
- 100% vapor deployment throughout the area, behind appliances, under desks, on ceiling lights, wall switches, ceiling corners, walls
- Easy, rapid deployment of sterilization, followed by 5 changes of room airflow by HVAC or assisting fans
- 99.997% prevention of unwanted bio-organisms in medical rooms, hospitals, business offices, work areas and pharma sterile rooms
- Helps to sanitize plant leaves and vegetables using H2O2 to kill unwanted fungi, molds and bio-organisms
What arethe key Biological Reasons to use the DF2S Dry Fogger?
- Disrupts Sulfhydryl (-SH) and Sulfur (S-S) bonds in proteins and enzymes
- USP 1072 recommends a daily bactericidal disinfectant combined with a weekly or monthly use of a sporicidal agent
- Minncare penetrates the outer cell membrane, allowing hydrogen peroxide to kill the inner cell in viruses and enveloped viruses
- Destroys cellular activity by rupture or dislocation of cell walls, thus destroying yeast enveloped viruses such as coronavirus, mold, ffungiuand bacteria
- 99.997% kill rate for spores, fungus, molds, venvelopedviruses and bio-organisms
- Far more effective than spray sanitizer, which simply wet the surfaces with ineffective mild chemicals
- Far more effective chlorine-based sterilants, as the chlorine molecules rise to the top atmosphere, depleting Earth’s OZONE protection.n
- Minncare dissolves into hydrogen, oxygen and a form of vinegar, unlike chlorine, which stays in our atmosphere.

CURRENT SANITIZING METHODS
- Surface Wiping – does not come into contact with all surfaces, thus micro-organism growth occurs after wipe down
- Manual Spraying (with Spray Bottles) – Moist Spray comes into contact with surfaces, leaving residue and does not contact all surfaces
- Heating Process (Vaporization) – requires a raised temperature in the room being disinfected
- Cold Process – Wet fogging
Chemical Products Currently Used:
- hydrogen peroxide
- Formaldehyde based
- Glutaraldehyde-based
- Quaternary Ammonium Compounds
- Cocktails of the above
Current Problems:
- Long Venting time
- Neutralization Needed
- Corrosion of metal surfaces
- Variety of Chemicals used
- Residual contamination
