Broad-spectrum disinfectant concentrate for salon/barber tools and surfaces

Description

Barbicide Solution 16 oz is a hospital-grade, broad-spectrum disinfectant concentrate designed for use in salons, barbershops, spas and other beauty or aesthetic settings. When diluted per instructions, it provides germicidal, fungicidal, virucidal and pseudomonacidal action against a wide range of pathogens including HIV-1, hepatitis B & C viruses, staphylococci (including MRSA), Pseudomonas, fungi and more. It is used to disinfect hard, non-porous instruments (like scissors, combs, shears, razors), implements, tools, and surfaces (metal, plastic, glass). The iconic blue solution is widely recognized in professional beauty settings as a standard for hygiene and infection control.

Bnefits

Broad-spectrum disinfectant — effective bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal and pseudomonacidal action, including against HIV-1, hepatitis B & C, Herpes, MRSA, and other pathogens.
Suitable for non-porous salon/barber tools and surfaces (metal, plastic, stainless steel, glass — combs, shears, razors, salon chairs, sinks, counters).
Rust-resistant formulation protecting metal tools and shears during immersion.
Widely accepted and EPA-registered disinfectant complying with salon/health-care hygiene standards.
Relatively simple dilution and use instructions, making it easy to implement in busy salon/barber workflows.

Indications

Disinfection of hard, non-porous barbershop and salon instruments (combs, shears, razors, brushes, clips, etc.) before and between clients.
Disinfection of non-porous surfaces and workstations — countertops, sinks, chairs, bowls, tools trays in salons/spas.
Use in professional beauty, barbershop, spa, tattoo, nail salon, and other aesthetic / personal care environments requiring sterilisation/disinfection of instruments and surfaces.

Composition

Active ingredient: Alkyl (50% C14, 40% C12, 10% C16) dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride — 5.12% by volume.
Other constituents/inert ingredients include sodium nitrite, solvents, water — per Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Proprietary formula including rust-inhibitors to protect metal tools during immersion.

Formulation

Liquid concentrate (dark blue liquid) to be diluted prior to use.
When diluted (2 oz concentrate to 32 oz water) yields a ready-to-use disinfectant solution for immersion or surface disinfection.

Packaging

16 fl oz (approx. 473 mL) concentrate bottle of Barbicide Solution for dilution. Common salon packaging.

Usage

Dilute properly before use: mix 2 oz (¼ cup) of Barbicide concentrate with 32 oz (4 cups) of water to prepare a ‘hospital-grade’ disinfectant solution.
For instruments and tools (combs, shears, razors, brushes, clipper blades, etc.): thoroughly clean tools with soap/water first, then immerse completely in the diluted Barbicide solution for at least 10 minutes.
After immersion, rinse tools with clean water, dry thoroughly before next use. Fresh solution should be prepared daily or whenever the solution appears diluted or soiled.
For surfaces: apply diluted solution using a cloth, sponge, mop or spray so as to wet the surface thoroughly; maintain contact time of 10 minutes before allowing to air dry.
Do not mix with other chemicals, and do not use on porous surfaces or skin. Use only on hard, non-porous surfaces and implements.

Contraindications

Do not use on porous items, untreated wood, fabric, leather, or skin — only for inanimate non-porous tools and surfaces.
Do not mix with other chemicals, detergents, or disinfectants.
Not suitable for critical medical device sterilization (only for general salon/barber disinfection) — not intended for invasive medical instruments.

Adverse Effects

Causes skin and eye irritation on contact — may irritate or burn skin or eyes; use gloves and eye protection when handling concentrate.
Flammable liquid — avoid open flames, sparks, heat when handling concentrate.
Prolonged immersion of metal without proper rinsing and drying could lead to corrosion if rust-inhibitor is insufficient or washing/rinsing is inadequate. (Users typically rinse and dry after disinfection.)

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat, sparks or open flames.
Keep container tightly closed when not in use and out of reach of children.
Store away from incompatible chemicals; do not mix with other cleaning agents or disinfectants.
