- Background
Existing disinfectants have powerful sterilizing actions, but are harmful to 
human health. The strong sterilizing property of ozone is well known, but 
ALTANT can use ozone dissolved in alcohol through a special technology to be 
both a strong sterilizing agent and yet kind to the skin. This means ALTANT can 
be used safely to powerfully sanitize areas or places in need of sterilization. 
This is the first sanitizer in the world to dissolve ozone in alcohol and 
remain stable and effective for three years.

- Performance
Joint research with the National Institute of Infectious Diseases has already 
shown how good ALTANT is at inactivating adenoviruses, and the results of this 
testing have been published in the Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases 
(JJID).

- Testing at Kitasato Research Center for Environmental Science
ALTANT can quickly kill the hay bacillus, "B. subtilis," used as a 
sterilization index, in less than 5 minutes. It can also inactivate norovirus 
in less than 15 seconds.

- Patents
ALTANT has been patented in Japan, the United States, the European Union, and 
other places.
