The regular use of NDF® products will ensure we lead our new normal lives in a safer manner while we embark on our daily routines. NDF-Bio75® and NDF-Bio75 Advance® are available online in New Zealand and from our agents in other countries where we are represented.

Staying protected, as the world lives with COVID-19

Across the world, governments have been announcing the reopening of their economies with the hope of normality. The policy of virus elimination for dealing with the COVID19 pandemic is slowly slipping away. Hence, the term "living with the virus" has been the mantra across national media across many countries

Living with the virus allows economic sectors to reopen and social gatherings to take place amidst higher vaccination rates in more countries. The use of face masks and social distancing is still the standard procedure in most countries to starve of high infection rates as we live with the virus. The responsibility of public health safety has shifted to the public's hands in exchange for the social freedoms and economic activities we can now enjoy.

The relevance of our antimicrobial products, NDF-Bio75 ® and NDF-Bio75 Advance ®, have become more important as we learn to live with the virus. These NDF products are long-lasting, non-toxic, and alcohol-free antimicrobials that do not wash off and will be at the forefront of protection on your hands, face mask and all high touch surfaces.

On your face mask, our NDF products can kill germs that land on the facemask.  Spraying NDF-Bio75® or NDF-Bio75 Advance® on both sides of the facemask protects against germs from the environment and prevents germs from spreading to the environment from an ill person.  Room and office ventilation can be enhanced with NDF antimicrobials sprayed onto the ventilation filters during routine maintenance to ensure safer air against all airborne germs.

Spraying NDF-Bio75 ® or NDF-Bio75 Advance ® on your hands once a day ensures germs are kept at bay throughout the day, even with frequent hand washing (recommended as good hygiene practice). Using NDF products around the household will also minimise the cross-contamination of surfaces, reducing the potential spread of germs around the household. Keeping a travel-friendly bottle of the NDF-Bio75 Advance ® whenever you travel would make travelling safe by spraying it on all high-touch surfaces such as seats, armrests, tray-tables, entertainment monitors. NDF-Bio75 ® and NDF-Bio75 Advance ® contains no alcohol and is inert once dried, making it safe for use on all forms of transportation, as it is not combustible.

NDF products makes living with the virus a much safer proposition, allowing us to enjoy the normality of life while keeping the virus at bay. NDF products are environmentally friendly and safe for use on people of all ages as well as animals. The ability to last and not wash off, offers unparallel protection every hour of the day, every day as we learn how to live with the virus.

Long-lasting antimicrobial protection that is environmentally friendly

Many household detergents and sanitisers we use are a burden to the environment as they pollute the waterways once it is discharged. NDF® products are environmentally friendly products that does not pollute the waterways. Our range of antimicrobial products, NDF-Bio75®, NDF-Bio75 Advance® and NDF—Pro5000™ are EPA registered and does not harm the environment while it works continuously to protect you all these times, pandemic or endemic.

We deploy technology that uses the lysis (electro-mechanical) method of germ elimination instead of harsh chemical intervention. Our NDF® products are tested vigorously and bonds to surfaces and will not leach off. Used in the household, you can be assured of safety to people of all ages and pets. NDF-Bio75® can be used safely in the kitchen as it is approved for use on food preparation surfaces. NDF-Bio75 Advance® would make a good companion while travelling and on surfaces that may carry greater contamination, such as bathrooms communication devices and high touch points areas around you. Applied on facemasks will provide improved protection, ensuring the facemask does not become a contaminated hotspot.

NDF-Pro5000™ is a revolutionary product that provides treated textiles and wearable materials protection of between 50 to 100 washes while retaining significant protection against germs. Our daily wear, uniforms and innerwear would serve as a shield against harbouring any airborne germs such as the highly infectious Delta variant of COVID19. This will reduce the likelihood of bringing home this unwanted guest.

Simply, NDF products are safe, environmentally friendly, and provide long-lasting antimicrobial protection that will not wash off.

Antimicrobial protection for textiles and wearable materials

Introducing our latest member of our NDF product family that offers long-lasting antimicrobial protection that does not wash off- NDF-Pro5000™, an antimicrobial for textiles and wearable materials.

NDF-Pro5000™ provides long-lasting efficacy against bacteria, mould, fungi and significant range of viruses with 99.94% efficacy for up to 50 washes and 95.71% efficacy for the remaining washes up till 100 washes. This means one treatment of NDF-Pro5000™ on textiles and other wearable materials, will provide the continuous protection needed wash after wash, ensuring you have at all times clothes, uniforms, face-masks, socks and undergarments that can kill germs that land on it. You have the peace of mind that your clothes will not transmit germs. Further, these treated materials can also act as a shield against germs should there be a cut or wound on your body. This additional form of protection may be useful for uniformed organisations such as healthcare workers, police, or military personnel who are working on the frontline against COVID-19.

NDF-Pro5000™ is applied by rinsing NDF-Pro5000™ with clean materials being treated. This can easily be done by using NDF-Pro5000™ in the final rinse in a washing machine instead of a softener. Once dried, NDF-Pro5000™ will erect a bio-static shield by coating every thread of the material with the active molecule. These molecules are bonded to the material and will not attach to your skin on contact. As there are no residue chemicals once dried, NDF-Pro5000™ will not cause dermatological responses such as skin allergies, ensuring safe and long-lasting protection every time and anytime.

Staying safe against the COVID-19 variants

Recently, we have been subjected to news of new strains of the COVID19 viruses such as the Delta and Lambda variants. More of such mutations are bound to happen. Medical professionals are now debating the effectiveness of the vaccines against the new variants. Where would all these developments lead us to?

Our antimicrobial products, NDF Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ will kill all types of mutated viruses and bacteria notwithstanding new and upcoming variants that will arise due to mutations of these microbes. The science behind this is simply this- NDF products uses the lyses method of killing the microbe instead of chemical intervention. Lyses involves the electrical discharge to weaken as well as the mechanical piercing of the membrane of the microbes. Therefore, no matter how the mutation has changed the genetic buildup of the microbe, it will be destroyed.

The use of NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ will ensure you will be protected all the time notwithstanding the mutation. NDF antimicrobial products are long lasting, non-toxic, alcohol free and will not wash off. The best safeguard against any disease to provide a peace of mind 24/7 is protection that will last and not wash off.

NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™- the ultimate household surface protectants

NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ have many uses around the house. More than just protecting your hands, our antimicrobial NDF products can be used safely around the house and even in the kitchen.
NDF-Bio75™ is approved for use on food preparation surfaces by the US Department of Agriculture and the New Zealand Ministry of Primary Industry. This product will not leach from applied surfaces onto food and will also not wash off. NDF-Bio75™ can be wiped onto plates, cutleries and other cooking utensils. This will protect the kitchen and dining ware against cross-contamination whenever anyone from the household is down with the flu and may leave stains of viral loading on utensils used.

Our other antimicrobial product, NDF-Bio75 Advance™ is formulated to provide instant kill capability and durable protection on surfaces once dried. It can be sprayed or wiped on around the house, including on computer keyboards, tablets, toilet seats, tap wares, doorknobs, handles, and any other surfaces wherever hands touch.

The use of NDF products around the house ensures lasting protection against germs of all kinds. These germs can cause gastro-intestinal diseases and influenza that spreads rapidly around the household. There are no other products that offer protection that last and does not wash off. Applying NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ can provide continuous protection for up to 30 days on surfaces and is also effective against the human coronavirus that causes COVID19. NDF products is the effective way to provide continuous antimicrobial protection around your house, to ensure a safe and healthy household.

Travel Bubbles-Staying safe against germs

The establishment of travel bubbles is the latest initiative by governments in restarting the aviation and hospitality industries, which have been damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Australia-New Zealand travel bubble has gotten off to a start but not without several scares such as the latest outbreak in the state of Victoria. Quarantine-free travels are not without caveats of being stuck in either country if the travel bubble is suspended when cases are detected. Besides that, one is also taking on a risk of being exposed to the virus should the outbreak occur in the place you have travelled to. Hong Kong and Singapore were slated to start their own travel bubble but the detection of new cases in Singapore once again postponed this travel bubble.

There may be good reasons to embark on a journey notwithstanding the risk for example for the purposes of family reunions, health and loss of a love one. Whatever the reason, one should take along a bottle of NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™. Take these actions whenever you travel:

1. Spray one's face mask and hands daily with NDF-Bio75™. This stops the infection from airborne and touch sources.

2. Spray NDF-Bio75 Advance™ on surfaces like the tray-tables on trains and planes to keep you safe during journeys by killing germs immediately and continuing to do so over the entire journey

3. Keep washing your hands- NDF products will not wash off.

Our NDF products, NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ provides antimicrobial protection for skin for 24 hours and surfaces for up to 30 days and are approved by the Environmental Protection Agencies of the USA and New Zealand.

NDF Combo Hand and Surface Protector Set

The use of NDF products in preventing airborne transmission of COVID19 viruses

The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recently issued guidance on their views about the transmission of the SARS-CoV2 virus, which has caused the COVID-19 pandemic. According to them, a significant level of transmission is caused by airborne transmission with a lower risk of surface (formite) transmission for indoor communities. Indoor communities refers to enclosed spaces using ventilation systems (air conditioning/climate control) such as office buildings, shopping malls, transport systems/ hubs, places of worship and entertainment outlets. 

Given these findings of the WHO & US CDC, we would like to introduce and emphasize the use of NDF products on ventilation system filters and surfaces. The use of NDF products like NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ on ventilation filters will ensure long-lasting protection against the airborne SARS-CoV2 viruses. Treated filters and air-ducts will become the first line of defence when air is recirculated. Regular cleaning of the filters and air-ducts is also crucial in maintaining efficiency against airborne viral loadings.

Hospital air conditioning system filters

To protect against airborne transmission of COVID-19, apply a coating of NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ to the filter

Surface (formite) transmission will be less significant provided the surfaces are regularly cleaned. Regular cleaning is harder to define and therefore the use of NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ coatings will ensure continuous protection between the regular cleaning intervals and will not wash away during routine cleaning.  NDF products are relevant in fighting this pandemic as antimicrobial surface coating will certainly reduce viral loadings and formite transmission on surfaces.

The use of NDF products will ensure effective protection during this pandemic, assuring a peace of mind against both formite and airborne transmission. The membrane of the SARS-CoV2 is vulnerable to NDF products as it is labile and can degrade easily on contact with NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ providing continuous protection between cleaning cycles.

The limitations of chlorine breach for protection against germs

While bleach has disinfecting properties, it is not long-lasting. Bleach will diffuse away and when it does, it becomes weaker over time which enables viruses, bacteria to mutate and become resistant to the chemical. Here are some key points of the negative effects of the prolonged use of bleach:

1. For continued efficacy, bleach needs to be applied repetitively- otherwise, the surfaces will be able to host these microbes once the bleach has diffused away.

2. Cleaning with bleach provides a short time-frame of sterilization of the surface.

3. It can give a false sense of security in thinking that these surfaces are free of the microbes but in reality, the surfaces may be no longer safe to children and people with low immunity against these microbes

4. The continued use of bleach leaves a microfilm on the surfaces after the chemical has diffused away, which may provide suitable conditions for the proliferation of microbes on surfaces.

5. Bleach does not stop the problem of mould and fungi as these organisms are rooted onto the surface. Bleach acts to clean off the surfaces of mould and fungi, only to have them growing back from the roots after the bleach has diffused away. It provides only a cosmetic solution to the mould and fungi problem

6. The diffusion of bleach into the environment is unhealthy to anyone who breathes in the chemical. Exposure of bleach is bad for the skin and increases the load on the liver to remove the toxicity.

7. Bleach is a toxic chemical that is not safe for humans, animals and the environment.

8. If bleach gets into the waterway, it can kill aquatic life and pollute the waterway.

Luckily, our antimicrobial NDF products offers a better alternative to using bleach as our NDF products form a layer of molecular-spikes that are co-polymer bonded to surfaces on drying. The molecular-spikes are made up of long chain carbon molecules including positively charged nitrogen ions which attract microbes and kill through an electro-mechanical process rather than the leaching effects of the usual toxic chemical antimicrobials. There is no chance of mutation and it is highly effective

NDF products have been proven as a surface protectant in a range of facilities including educational facilities, day care centres and public buildings and will last on hard surfaces for up to 30 days.

Addressing the Mutated Variants of COVID-19

In 2021, the news of the mutation of the COVID19 virus into more transmissible variants continues. Scientists are worried about the effectiveness of the vaccines against the new variants of Covid-19, and while it appears the vaccines might work, only time will tell whether the vaccines will protect us.

In addition to vaccines, our antimicrobial NDF products (NDF-Bio75™, NDF-Bio75 Advance ™ and NDF-Pro5000™) are effective against all variants of COVID19 as NDF products uses the lyses method of electro-mechanical piercing of the cell membrane of the virus. Instead of using chemical intervention, the virus is killed from the physical damage to its cell membrane. This means that the efficacy of our antimicrobial NDF products is not affected by any mutation to the genetic composition of the virus.

So regardless of any mutations of bacteria, mould, fungi and viruses, our NDF antimicrobial products will continue to provide non-toxic, alcohol free and long lasting protection that will not wash off with regular washing for up to 24 hours on skin and 30 days on surfaces (both porous and non-porous). NDF-Pro5000™ in particular once dried after a single application, will provide 99.99% protection of up to 50 washes and 95% protection for up to 100 washes against bacteria, mould, fungi and a significant range of viruses including the human coronavirus.

2021 Resolutions- Having Effective Antimicrobial Protection Against Germs

Happy New Year! 2021 has come and most people are happy to see 2020 go.  We need to resolve to keep safe while the COVID19 pandemic continues with more infections of the mutated variants of the virus in some countries. The vaccines have come but the viruses have not gone yet. We must continue keeping safe with social habits we learned in 2020 such as social distancing, wearing of face masks and washing of hands.

At NDF Biosciences, our 2021 resolution is to keep you and your family safe against germs with effective protection. NDF products offer long lasting, non-toxic protection with no alcohol and do not wash off. This is the protection you need against the resurging viruses as NDF products are not affected by the virus mutation as the product kills germs by lysis and not by chemical intervention.

2021 is the year you should resolve to use NDF products in keeping you and your family safe against germs, with long-lasting, safe and alcohol-free antimicrobial protection. The use of NDF products will reduce the likelihood of viruses mutating, making our world a safer and healthy place for all.

Tis the season to be vigilant

The Christmas and New Year season is upon us and for many, it means the rush to shop, plan the holidays, meeting up with family and friends. However, there is a difference to this year’s festive season. We are in the midst of an ongoing pandemic with COVID-19 still plaguing many parts of the world.

While enjoying this festive season, it is important keep you and your family and friends safe from the virus- you can do so by using our antimicrobial products, NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ everyday on your hands and on all high touch points around your home or on transportation. Don't forget to apply it on your personal devices such as your smart phone as these are high touch areas and susceptible to contamination. Spraying our products on your face mask is also a must for being protected against germs.

NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ are non-toxic, long-lasting and alcohol-free antimicrobials. It is safe for use on adults, children and even pets and can be applied by spraying, wiping or fogging onto clean surfaces and leaving to dry. This will enable a microbiostatic layer of protection which can kill bacteria, mould, fungi and a significant range of viruses including the human coronavirus, without the use of any chemical intervention.

From all of us at NDF Biosciences- have a safe and jolly Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Three Steps for More Effective Face Mask Protection

COVID-19 has made a huge impact on our lives, potentially for the long-haul.  COVID-19 is spread by nasal droplets of an infected person and such droplets can come from sneezes, coughs and by touching contaminated surfaces including face masks.

Face masks can be helpful in preventing the spread of COVID-19  but here’s three important steps to make your face mask more effective in protecting you against germs:

1. Wash your hands regularly

2. Apply NDF-Bio75™ to your hands after washing and drying your hands

3. Spray NDF-Bio75Advance™ onto both sides of your face mask and allow to dry. Re-spray your face mask before reusing or before changing to a new one

These steps will ensure that airborne droplets do not get to your nasal passage and your hands do not contaminate other surfaces including your face when you touch other surfaces.

NDF Biosciences, is committed to your safety with our antimicrobial NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75Advance™ products. Our products are long-lasting, non-toxic and alcohol-free, which provide protection against germs that can last up to 24 hours on skin and 30 days on surfaces.

In this COVID19 outbreak, the world needs antimicrobial protection that lasts

As the world grapples with COVID-19 - months of spraying disinfectants all over the place, using face masks and lockdowns of cities- are we actually containing the virus?

The straight answer is NO.

The missing link in our fight against COVID-19 is the long-lasting protection of surfaces. Cleaning surfaces through disinfecting isn’t enough- disinfecting agents diffuse away as quickly as it is applied. While it might kill the virus, it would not protect the surface from recontamination from touch or respiratory droplets from an infected person. The re-contaminated surfaces can potentially cause another infection and this cycle continues. This is true for all surfaces, at home, offices, malls, places of worship, planes, and trains etc.

NDF Biosciences has the long-lasting solution to protect all types of surfaces, for 24 hours on skin and up to 30 days on surfaces. Our antimicrobial products, NDF-Bio75™, NDF-Bio75 Advance™ and NDF-Pro5000™ (which are customised for different applications), all provide non-toxic, long-lasting and alcohol-free protection against germs. This is the effective protection that is missing in our fight against COVID-19.

Make a difference in the fight against COVID-19 by using our long-lasting and alcohol-free antimicrobial NDF products.

NDF-Bio75™ now being used in self-sanitising machine applications in Hong Kong

We have some exciting news from our Hong Kong distributor NDF Bio Solutions Ltd, who have fully surface treated a medical centre in Hong Kong and have also installed a self-sanitising machine at their entrance to enable patients to self-sanitise with NDF-Bio75™. This means that the centre and patients now have alcohol-free, non-toxic and long-lasting protection against germs (24 hours on skin and up to 30 days on surfaces) and this protection will not wash off during this duration. Now, this is exactly what we need in times of a coronavirus outbreak. Disinfecting isn’t enough- to effectively stay safe against germs, you need durable, continuous and safe protection with NDF-Bio75™.

Keeping your face mask effective against germs

The COVID19 outbreak continues with new infections in many countries including New Zealand, despite having had no community cases for 102 days.

Face masks are known to help prevent the spread of the outbreak, provided the face masks are used carefully. However, face masks can also be plagued with germs if  the mask is moist and warm- this is a condition which is most suitable for germs.

To keep your face mask hygienic and safe for use, NDF Biosciences recommends the use of NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™, long-lasting and alcohol-free antimicrobials. By spraying the face mask with NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ after every day or every wash and leaving it to dry overnight before use, this creates a microbiostatic protective shield which keeps germs at bay.

It is important to keep your face mask safe, since your mask is placed close to your mouth and nose so provide your mask with added protection with NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ to make your face mask more effective in protecting yourself against germs.

Manufacturers of masks may also want to use our specialty-antimicrobial NDF-Pro5000™ for linen and textile. Applying NDF-Pro5000™ can provide durable protection on masks against germs for up to 50 and 100 washes.

Visit www.ndfbiosciences.com to learn how our alcohol-free and long-lasting NDF-Bio75™, NDF-Bio75 Advance™ and NDF-Pro5000™ antimicrobials can keep you protected against germs.

The 'germ' risk of high touch surfaces

With COVID19, everyone is becoming more aware of the importance of good hygiene- using sanitisers and face masks as well as washing your hands more often. However, have you ever thought of how germs are transmitted, through high-touch surfaces that everyone touches such as lift buttons and handles?

Let’s say if you sanitise your hands just before you leave your office to go for lunch, you will pass and touch at least 10 surfaces before settling down for food. So with your hands sanitised with an alcohol-based product- it feels great and gives an ‘impression’ of having clean hands. But in fact, the sanitiser would have worn off the moment you touch the first surface.

This is why you need a surface protector that lasts to clean those high touch surfaces and to sanitise your hands (otherwise, you are just believing that you are safe). Only NDF-Bio75™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ provides you with long-lasting protection: 24-hour protection for your hands and 30-day protection for those high touch surfaces like lift buttons, knobs, keyboards or even touch screens. NDF-Bio75 Advance™ goes even further, providing instant kill against microbes upon contact. Learn more about how NDF-Bio75 ™ and NDF-Bio75 Advance™ can keep you protected against germs from our website, www.ndfbiosciences.com
