ProvaStride is a quat-free, EPA-registered dry floor and non-food contact surface sanitizer designed for use in entryways, on floors, in floor mats/pans and around drains. It is ideal for use in low-moisture environments.
ProvaStride offers the most comprehensive claim set of any quat-free powder product on the market—proven to kill organisms such as Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Cronobacter sakazakii, Listeria monocytogenes, and more.*
The Science
ProvaStride’s unique formulation’s active ingredients are sodium percarbonate and tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED). The sodium percarbonate within ProvaStride contains hydrogen peroxide molecules loosely held by the sodium carbonate crystal structure. When ProvaStride powder encounters ambient moisture, the sodium percarbonate releases peroxide molecules.
The freed peroxide molecules bump into the pieces of TAED and react, creating peracetic acid (PAA)—a powerful oxidizer. When the activated PAA chemical interacts with a pathogen, the outer molecular layer splits open, making the organism vulnerable to chemical attack. Once inside, the activated PAA can now inactivate or kill the organism.
