With the UK Government continuing to ease lockdown measures, increasing numbers of companies and commercial premises are opening for business after a hiatus due to COVID-19. To help protect the health of those making their way back to the office, factory, shop, pub, gym or any other place of work, a new ultra-effective surface sanitiser – Hi-KLEEN – is being introduced by HI-LINE INDUSTRIES. The company says spraying a single coating of HI-KLEEN on to surfaces such as doors, handles, handrails, chairs and desks will not only kill coronavirus, it will provide protection against further contamination for up to five hours. Hi-KLEEN has been specially formulated to kill and inhibit both bacteria and viruses (including enveloped viruses such as coronavirus) on hard or soft surfaces subject to frequent contact. Simply spray at a distance of approximately 10–20 cm from the surface to be treated for effective protection. This odour-free, clear product is said to be ideal for offices, factories (including food plants), conference centres, sports clubs, hospitals, health centres, educational facilities, care homes, entertainment/hospitality venues (including restaurants and pubs), and even transport. Hi-line says notably, active biocides present in the formulation provide longer-lasting protection than alcohol-based preparations and its new surface sanitiser does not stain, is non-corrosive and will give a streak and smear-free finish to most polished surfaces, including glass and stainless steel, also the product is safe to use and alcohol-free, meaning that there is no drying or irritation to the skin. The company says to provide proof of efficacy in the control of harmful micro-organisms, HI-KLEEN has been tested to BS EN 1276, which is the European standard for the bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants. In order to meet the standard, products are tested by an independent laboratory and must kill 99.999% of bacteria within 5 minutes. t | 01283 533377 e | enquiries@hilineindustries.com w | www.hilineindustries.com TYRI, an industry leader in work lighting, has launched an online knowledge platform – TYRI Light Academy. The company says the aim is to spread knowledge about what makes great work lighting and how both productivity as well as work environment can improve with the right lighting in place. TYRI Light Academy is launching on TYRI’s website and will provide insights, tips, knowledge and updates on new innovations in work lighting. “TYRI Light Academy is the first of its kind in our industry. We started this project because we found that the level of knowledge on what makes good lighting and how it can be used effectively is generally quite low, a fact that can lead to faulty decisions which can cost a business unnecessary damage to both revenue and brand image,” says Annette Brown, marketing manager. w | www.tyrilights.com CP ELECTRONICS says its new family of high bay presence detectors provide enhanced energy savings through precise light control and long range detection capability. Available with multi pyro detection components, specifically positioned in combination with a multi-faceted lens design ensures a vast detection range. With a mounting height ranging from 5m to 20m, the 360° detection coverage remains best in its category with a detection range diameter of 30m for walk towards, and 40m for walk across when mounted at a height of 15m. The in-built 5 pyro design ensures detection of small movements, waving arms and nodding head etc with no compromise on design. This ensures a steady, consistent and reliable performance so that uniform sensitivity is maintained within the detection range during presence or absence mode. t | 0333 900067 e | enquiry@cpelectronics.co.uk w | www.cpelectronics.co.uk Online academy for work lighting RENOVOTEC, a fast growing UK rugged hardware, software and services provider for supply chain companies has announced it is expanding to meet escalating demand for its ‘Renovotec Managed Print’ service by opening a 50% larger service centre in Wellingborough, Northants.
