Areas of application:
LH INCOLORO 70 is a disinfectant solution indicated:
- For the disinfection of intact skin and hands of healthcare personnel.
- For the disinfection of clean hard surfaces, worktops, furniture, handles, equipment, toilets in hospitals, clinics, retirement homes, offices, schools, shops, means of transport, etc.

How to use:
For surfaces
- Spray the product on the previously cleaned surface to be treated, understanding it evenly. Leave on for at least 1 minute until completely dry.

Mechanism of action:
The outermost surface of bacterial cells generally has a negative charge, often stabilized by divalent cations such as Mg2+ and Ca2+. Often, cationic antimicrobials require only a strong positive charge together with a hydrophobic region in order to interact with the cell surface and integrate with the cytoplasmic membrane. Such integration within the membrane is sufficient to disrupt its growth and at the treatment levels associated with disinfectant and antiseptic formulations it is sufficient to cause loss of fluidity with consequent cell death. The mode of action of quaternary ammonium compounds against bacterial cells is found to involve a general perturbation of the lipid bilayer that makes up the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane and the outermost membrane of gram-negative bacteria. This action leads to a generalized and progressive release of cytoplasmic material towards the external environment.
The main mode of microbicidal action of alcohol is related to its coagulating/denaturating action on proteins. Alcohol-induced protein coagulation involves the cell membrane, cytoplasmic membrane, and various plasma proteins. The coagulation of enzymatic proteins leads to a loss of cellular functions. Alcohols target the bacterial cell membrane with the resulting lysis and release of cellular contents.
