The science behind the Perfect Liquid Layer
with STORM® and M-Wipes.
Firstly we need to understand the enemy...
Coronavirus (Covid-19)
How is it transmitted?
One way is through common touch points.
How long does it survive on surfaces?
It can live up to 3 days
To defeat the enemy, we need to disinfect common touch points regularly, by applying a Perfect Liquid Layer of disinfectant on all dimensions and surface types.
What is a Perfect Liquid Layer?
A Perfect Liquid Layer of disinfectant is created when droplets merge together on a surface, producing a layer of liquid with no gaps.
Why is it important?
It is important to create a Perfect Liquid Layer on surfaces, to ensure there are no gaps between the droplets of disinfectant.
Gaps mean the surface is not fully covered with disinfectant, leaving the surface at risk of inhabiting viruses between the droplets.
GAPS = RISK
What are the scientific factors behind the Perfect Liquid Layer?
It's all about fluid physics, especially surface tension.
Remember
Clean the surface before disinfecting.

Spray
Use STORM® 30cm(12in) away from the surface and spray from bottom to top, in a slow controlled motion.
Spray
Use STORM® 30cm(12in) away from the surface and spray from bottom to top, in a slow controlled motion.
Inspect
When the disinfectant is applied correctly, STORM® will achieve a Perfect Liquid Layer on flat surfaces. No wiping needed.
Wipe
Dispense an M-Wipe from the on-board pouch and spray the wipe with STORM®. Now wipe the reverse side of the 3D touch
point to apply disinfectant.
See Gaps?
Move closer to the surface and
spray again in a slow, controlled
motion with STORM®.
Never Use Paper Towel
Paper towels remove disinfectant from the surface, so the contact time is not achieved, rendering the whole process ineffective.
