Disinfecting Formica® Brand Surfaces
Disinfecting has never been a more important issue than it is today.

Disinfecting has never been a more important issue than it is today. The EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) and Health Canada published a disinfectant products list for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The Health Canada list is searchable by Drug Identification Number (DIN), the active ingredient, the product name, the company and the product form.
Formica® Brand products have been tested to each of the key active compound categories represented on the EPA Approved List N products using the NEMA 3.4 Spot Test method. The results were used to provide recommendations on the best disinfectants to use on Formica® Brand products.
For Formica® HPL and DecoMetal® Metal Laminates, we recommend disinfecting with:
1) Quaternary Ammonium which is the largest group (198 listed) of EPA approved disinfectants. Examples of Quaternary Ammonium products include: Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes and Lysol®.
2) Alcohols both Ethanol and Isopropanol. Example: Purell® Professional Surface Disinfectant Wipes
3) Sodium Hypochlorite or Bleach. Example: Clorox Healthcare® Bleach Germicidal Wipes
4) Hydrogen Peroxides. Example: Clorox Commercial Solutions® Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaner Disinfectant
Always follow cleaning or disinfectant with a warm water rinse and dry.

For Everform™ Solid Surface we recommend disinfecting with:
1) Isopropanol. Example: Purell® Professional Surface Disinfectant Wipes
2) Sodium Hypochlorite or Bleach. Example: Clorox Healthcare® Bleach Germicidal Wipes.
We do not recommend the use of Hydrogen Peroxides or Phenolic on solid surfacing. Always follow cleaning or disinfectant with a warm water rinse and dry
