WHERE WE COME FROM?

From the mid-1970s Mr. Carl Straub, a qualifiedtoolmaker and engineer, was a part of HVACindustry, first running a family business ofrepair, maintenance and development ofcompressors and refrigeration/ventilationequipment in Australia. Then he pioneeredHVAC cleaning services first in Tasmania, andthen expanding the business all across theAustralian continent.

He became a member of ASHRAE in 1996,and served on advisory board to Australiangovernment, dealing with HVAC and A/Csystems-related issues and #1 dust (PM2.5)

In early 1980s he realised the importance ofsafe, eco-friendly disinfection of HVAC systemsand began developing a product, that willlater become GermXit®

Where we come from

(continued)

A series of incidents, when Legionella Sp.-contaminated HVAC systems in

public buildings, and S. Aureus in hospitals caused health damage to and

even caused loss of human life, lead to the only reasonable conclusion:cleaning HVAC systems alone wasn’t enough to ensure safe indoor

environment.

Disinfection with harsh chemicals was introduced, but while killing

pathogens, these substances were a threat to human health as well, so

using them was a double-edged sword. There had to a safer, but at the

same time, equally efficient way to get rid of biological contaminants.

As a native Australian, being familiar with beneficial qualities of Tea Tree

Oil, that had been known to the aboriginal peoples of Australian

continent for thousands of years, in 1982 Mr. Straub began developingTea Tree Oil-based product, that could be safely and effectively used in

indoor environment, to remove all pathogens from all surfaces, as well as

indoor air.

IAQ TECHNOLOGIES (THAILAND)

AND

GERMXIT CO., LTD.

Construction boom of the mid-90s in Thailand created a huge

market for HVAC cleaning and disinfection, and Mr. Straub

seized the opportunity by relocating to Bangkok, Thailand

and starting IAQ Technologies (Thailand) Co., Ltd., in 1999. It’s

a service company that provides HVAC cleaning and

disinfection services for industrial, commercial, residential

customers, as well as marine/offshore division, providing same

services to Oil & Gas customers – marine oil rigs and vessels.

GermXit Co., Ltd. was established to serve as R&D, production

and distribution of Australian Tea Tree Oil based product, that

was developed by Mr. Straub in Australia.

BUT BEFORE IT THERE WERE OTHERS, SOMEEQUALLY OR EVEN MORE DEADLY, SUCH AS THESPANISH FLU, SARS/MERS CORONAVIRUSES,BACTERIA LIKE LEGIONELLA, E.COLI ANDS.AUREUS, FUNGI LIKE BLACK MOULD ANDOTHERS.

MOST INDOOR AREAS, APART FROM HI-BIOSECURITY FACILITIES, CAN BE A BREEDINGGROUND FOR SUCH PATHOGENS, AS BACTERIA,MOULD&FUNGI AND VIRUSES, UNDER RIGHTCONDITIONS.

Scientists are warning that levels of resistance to treatments for

fungal infections are growing, which could lead to more

outbreaks of disease.

Intensive-care and transplant patients and those with cancer

are most at risk because their immune systems cannot fight off

the infections.

Fungal infections had some of the highest mortality rates of

infectious diseases, an expert said.

An international team, led by researchers from Imperial

College London and the University of Exeter, found a huge

increase in resistance to antifungal drugs worldwide over the

past 30-40 years.

Prof Gordon Brown, director of the Medical Research Council

Centre for Medical Mycology, said some fungal infections had

mortality rates of more than 50%.

Researchers advise new treatments are urgently needed.

drugs - a global issue

A large number of patients who go to hospitals orhealth care facilities go back home withsomething more serious, sometimes deadly!

According to the World Health Organisation(WHO), at any given time over 1.4 million peopleacross the globe suffer from a nosocomialinfection (HCAI). HCAI account for more than 2million cases and about 80,000 deaths annually.

Whilst improved processes including frequenthand washing has helped reduce HCAI,infections still occur due to airborne and/orsurface contact.

A 2015 study found that the rates of HCAI andantimicrobial resistance were markedly higher inSE Asia than those reported by the CDC in the US& EU.

The global problem of

Nosocomial Infections

NOW WITH THE PANDEMIC HEALTH WORKERS’ LIVES ARE ON THE LINE

…AND VIRUSES

While the issue of airborne transmission of viruses and the level of concentration

required to pose a threat of infection is still being debated, but there is no

doubt, that this is occurring with COVID-19, as recent cases on cruise ships have

shown, infection spreading through ship’s HVAC systems, as reported in the

media worldwide. There are some practical conclusions already being made

by aerosol engineers, such as:

1. No more than 1 person per office

2. Allow 4 air changes before reoccupying small, enclosed spaces like

bathrooms, elevators

3. Avoid re-circulation in HVAC

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.21.20108894v2.full.pdf+html

THE REASON BEHIND POINT NO. 3 IS AS FOLLOWS

Page 15: Usage of Tea Tree Oil based products - germxit.com€¦ · GermXit Co., Ltd. was established to serve as R&D, production and distribution of Australian Tea Tree Oil based product,

HOW A CONTAMINATED HVAC SYSTEM

COULD CAUSE A DISEASE OUTBREAK?

Since airducts connect all rooms in

the building, if building’s HVAC

system is contaminated,

pathogens will continue to grow in

the ductwork and circulate in the

airflow, spreading to every area,

even if there are filters installed

and they are properly maintained.

AND THAT’S WHY SPRAYING INDOOR AREAS ONLY

IS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION

Page 16: Usage of Tea Tree Oil based products - germxit.com€¦ · GermXit Co., Ltd. was established to serve as R&D, production and distribution of Australian Tea Tree Oil based product,

“SPRAY AND PRAY”?

So when you are spraying disinfectants inside

the rooms only, new pathogens will be

brought in with the airflow from the

contaminated HVAC system.

Also, it’s a “one-off” treatment, in the sense

that it’s effective at one point in time andhasn’t any prolonged effect.

That’s why spraying indoor surfaces only is

ineffective, and, if chemicals are used, is

potentially harmful, as well as might cause

damage to HVAC systems’ aluminium coils.

Page 17: Usage of Tea Tree Oil based products - germxit.com€¦ · GermXit Co., Ltd. was established to serve as R&D, production and distribution of Australian Tea Tree Oil based product,

WHAT ABOUT AREAS WITHOUT

HVAC?

In smaller areas, like condos, small offices, each room is

served by 1 or several Fan Coil Units (FCU’s), there is no

ductwork, and air circulates in the room, the only sources

of fresh air are doors and windows. All air in the room

passes repeatedly through the blower of the A/C,

collecting everything that is in the air – dust, bacteria,

viruses, mould spores etc. Although FCU’s are equippedwith filters, their efficiency is very low against biological

contaminants. That’s what caused demand for air

purifiers, ozone generators, UV-light disinfection systems

and other electrochemical/mechanical air cleaners.

Page 18: Usage of Tea Tree Oil based products - germxit.com€¦ · GermXit Co., Ltd. was established to serve as R&D, production and distribution of Australian Tea Tree Oil based product,

WHAT ABOUT AIR FILTRATION?

FILTERS ARE EFFICIENT

(MERV-13 UP), AND THEY

ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF

AN HVAC SYSTEM.

HOWEVER IT’S IMPORTANT

THAT THEY ARE CHOSEN

CORRECTLY, REGULARLY

REPLACED, DUE TO THE

FACT THAT A CLOGGED

IMPACT FILTER EVENTUALLY

WILL LET CONTAMINANTS

PASS THROUGH THE FILTER

MEMBRANE, IT MIGHT

CAUSE A CHANGE IN THE

POWER CONSUMPTION OF

THE WHOLE SYSTEM, AIR

PRESSURE DROPS ETC.

YES, BUT WE ARE ALREADY USING…

AND IT DOES THE JOB.

There is a number of ways to deal with each problem, that we’ve

outlined above. Each of the solutions has its strong and weak points.

UV-lamps, ozone generators, air purifiers, air ionizers, complex multi-

stage HEPA/ULPA filtration systems, they are there for a reason. And

they do what they were designed for.

1. Can you be “too safe”?

2. Is “overprotected” a valid term in this day and age?

3. Is having a “Plan A” only with no “Plan B” enough?

Try asking yourselves 3 questions:

If the answer is “No”, then we are on the same page. We are not

dismissing the solutions that are being used right now. We suggest that

adding another level of protection, which complements the existing

safety measures and improves their efficiency is the proper thing to

do.

WHY AUSTRALIAN TEA TREE OIL?

MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA (TEA TREE) IS A TREE, NATIVE TO NORTHERN NEW SOUTH WALES AND SOUTH-EAST QUEENSLAND OF AUSTRALIA.

EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE OTHER COUNTRIES, COMMERCIALLY GROWING MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA, SUCH AS SOUTH AFRICA AND CHINA PDR, THE UNIQUE COMPOSITION OF AUSTRALIAN TEA TREE OIL OFFER SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER ANTIVIRAL, ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL QUALITIES.

WHY AUSTRALIAN TEA TREE OIL?

(CONTINUED)

Unique Complexity

The uniqueness of pure Australian TTO is in the inherent complexity of its 113+ compounds.These compounds work synergistically to produce a superior result to any one, or abbreviatedcombination, of individual constituents. Numerous scientific and clinical studies comparing theactivity of both the main component of tea tree oil, terpinen-4-ol and pure tea tree oil havebeen conducted and published in well-recognized peer reviewed journals. In a paperpublished in 2010 by Greay et al 8 the activity of pure Australian TTO and terpinen-4-ol wasexamined. The research demonstrated that pure Australian TTO was significantly moreeffective than terpinen-4-ol alone.

This study demonstrated that the efficacy of pure TTO is more than the sum of its parts andreinforces the potency of pure Australian Tea Tree Oil in its natural state. No known testing hasbeen done to assess the efficacy, let alone safety, of adulterated tea tree oil.

Every shipment of Tea Tree Oil used to produce GermXit comes with certificate of compliancewith ATTIA standards for pure pharmaceutical grade Tea Tree Oil.

Page 22: Usage of Tea Tree Oil based products - germxit.com€¦ · GermXit Co., Ltd. was established to serve as R&D, production and distribution of Australian Tea Tree Oil based product,

The natural complexity of TTO’s 113+ compounds may also mitigate the

development of resistance in pathogens such as MRSA and reduce the

prevalence of superbugs. It is conceivable that with rising concerns about

antibiotic resistance, therapeutic solutions will involve the use of natural

remedies such as pure Australian TTO for the treatment of human and animal

ailments.

IS TEA TREE OIL

TOXIC/HARMFUL/HAZARDOUS? There are numerous studies,

conducted over past 50

years, confirming medicinal,

antibacterial, antifungal

qualities of Tea Tree Oil.

Opinion on Tea Tree Oil,

issued by Scientific

Committee on Consumer

Products (SCCP) is a

summary of those studies,

conducted prior to its’

publication.

https://ec.europa.eu/health

/ph_risk/committees/04_scc

p/docs/sccp_o_160.pdf

1. Pure 100% Tea Tree Oil is a skin

and eye irritant.

2. It can cause skin irritation if

applied directly on the skin in 2-3%

of cases studied (results differ).

3. There is no record of cases of any

toxic effects caused by inhaling`

Tea Tree Oil in aerosol form,

however there is plenty of

evidence of efficiency of

common practice of using

minimal amount of Tea Tree Oil in

a boiling water for inhalation,

similar to Eucaliptus oil.

STUDIES REFER TO PURE 100% TTO,

GERMXIT CONTAINS 10-15% OF TTO.

GERMXIT: ORIGINS,

FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS

WHILE USING CHEMICALS IS THE QUICKEST AND MOSTEFFICIENT WAY TO REMOVE ALL KNOWN BIO-CONTAMINANTSFROM INDOOR AREAS, THE DOWNSIDE TO IT IS THAT THEY AREHARMFUL TO HUMANS, AND REQUIRE ADDITIONAL“COOLDOWN” PERIOD AFTER TREATMENT, AS WELL AS THEYDON’T PRODUCE ANY LASTING EFFECT. IT’S A ONE-OFF “SPRAYAND PRAY” TYPE PROCEDURE, AFTER WHICH PATHOGENS WILLSTART GROWING AGAIN, AS NEW ONES ARE BROUGHT IN WITHTHE AIRFLOW.

SO THERE HAS TO BE A LONG-TERM, CONSTANT SOLUTION,THAT COULD BE SAFELY USED INDOORS WHERE PEOPLE WOULDBE EXPOSED TO IT.

Page 25: Usage of Tea Tree Oil based products - germxit.com€¦ · GermXit Co., Ltd. was established to serve as R&D, production and distribution of Australian Tea Tree Oil based product,

OIL AND WATER

THE MOST OBVIOUS WAY TO INTRODUCE TTO INTO THE AIRFLOW IS BY

EVAPORATION. OIL IS A LIQUID, BUT THE PROBLEM IS IT DOESN’T EVAPORATE.

WATER DOES, BUT AS THE PROVERBIAL EXPRESSION GOES, THEY DON’T MIX. OR

DO THEY?

IT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY USING CERTAIN POLYMERS, THAT BIND TTO AND WATER

TOGETHER AND FACILITATE TRANSFER OF THE TWO INTO THE AIRFLOW.

APPROXIMATELY 20 YEARS OF R&D IS WHAT IT TOOK TO DEVELOP A FORMULA,

THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR OPTIMAL EVAPORATION RATIO OF WATER AND TEA

TREE OIL. THE END RESULT IS ONLY WATER AND TTO ARE RELEASED INTO THE

AIRFLOW, MAKING THE PRODUCT ABSOLUTELY SAFE AND NON-HAZARDOUS

FOR HUMANS.

THE ONLY THING THAT IS PRESENT IN EACH INDOOR AREA ON EARTH IS THE AIR.

WHERE AIR GOES – GERMXIT WILL GO, COVERING 99% OF ALL INDOOR AREAS.

MECHANISM OF DELIVERY

AND ACTION

GermXit® is a suspension of tea tree oil (TTO) in form of

evaporating gel or liquid. GermXit® Gel is designed to

evaporate when air flows over the gel and carry the tea

tree oil molecules with it into the air and throughout the

coverage area.

As GermXit® releases particles of TTO, they come in

contact with bacteria, viruses, mould, fungi spores and

other microbes in the air and on surfaces, it disrupts the

cell membrane and they are eliminated!

Treatment with GermXit Liquid

It can be applied to any surface (hard and soft) by spraying, or as aerosol

for air and surface treatment, or “fogging”. There is an “inertial” effect

after treatment, due to tea tree oil forming nano-film on all surfaces, that

lasts for approximately 1-2 weeks after treatment. There is no need to

evacuate people working in the area.

In large HVAC systems, where airflow is distributed via ductwork and passesthrough Air Handling Units (AHU), “fogging” is the quickest and mostefficient way to cover 100% of air ducts and indoor areas. Highest efficiencyis achieved by using GermXit liquid delivered by ULV-fogging machine, setto the smallest droplet size possible (to avoid soaking of indoor surfaces).Liquid GermXit is thus applied to:

• Inside surfaces of AHU room

• Inside surfaces of the AHU itself

(while the AHU is turned off)

• On pre-filters/filters or blowers while

the AHU is in operation*

* - although GermXit is non-toxic and non-hazardous, please make sure that there are no people inside all the

areas covered by the ductwork, as well as operator has to wear proper PPE – goggles and respirator mask to

avoid eye and throat irritation.

Fogging the ductwork

Since airducts connect all rooms in the building, aerosolized GermXit will

be distributed by the HVAC system through the ductwork and circulate

in the airflow, covering all areas.

* - although GermXit is non-toxic and non-hazardous, please make sure that there are no people inside all the

areas covered by the ductwork, as well as operator has to wear proper PPE – goggles and respirator mask to

avoid eye and throat irritation.

• Removing all pathogens in the AHU

room, inside the AHU, the ductwork

and all indoor areas.

• Treating AHU filters, preventing any

“goo” forming on them and extending

their working life

• Treating all indoor areas, air and

surfaces.

• Liquid GermXit is effective when used

in water drainage systems, as it stops

bacterial buildup and prevents

blockage/clogging of the drainage

pipes.
