Antibacterial teat cleaning solution Resiclean™

pre-milkingpost-milkingfor cows

Product overview
Resiclean™ teat dip concentrate introduces a performic-acid based active (PerfomicPro™) for pre- and post-milking udder hygiene. Designed for dairy operations, it combines rapid antimicrobial action with skin-conditioning to support udder health and milk quality.

Technology
PerfomicPro™ is a patented chemistry centered on performic acid (PFA). PFA provides fast oxidizing antimicrobial activity and subsequently degrades to formic acid and water.

Features and benefits

• Fast-acting: effective disinfection in as little as 15 seconds (test conditions as cited).
• Skin conditioning: contains 5% glycerin to help maintain teat skin hydration.
• Residue-friendly: acts as an oxidizer and breaks down into formic acid and water, naturally occurring in milk.
• Practical adoption: two-part system with visible coverage compatible with existing parlour routines.
• Robust performance: maintains efficacy under heavy milk load and at low temperatures (4°C).

Efficacy and test data
Demonstrated reduction of key mastitis pathogens including Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella aerogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Modified AOAC 960.09 Test (10% milk challenge at 25°C, 15s exposure): ≥ 5 Log Reduction
Staph. aureus (ATCC 6538), Strept. agalactiae (ATCC 27956), E. coli (ATCC 11229), K. aerogenes (ATCC 13048), Stept. uberis (ATCC 27958), Strept. dysgalactiae (ATCC 27957), K. pneumoniae (ATCC 4352), P. aeruginosa (ATCC 15442)

EN test results (EN 1656 & EN 1657) under pre-milking (30s) and post-milking (5 min) conditions
Staph. aureus (ATCC 6538), E. coli (ATCC 11229), P. vulgaris (ATCC 49132), C. albicans (ATCC 10231), Stept. uberis (ATCC 27958), E. hirae (ATCC 9790), P. aeruginosa (ATCC 15442)

Stability and residue behavior
PFA acts as an oxidizer and degrades rapidly under non-acidic conditions. In test solutions with 10% milk at 25°C, PFA at 60 ppm falls below the detection limit within ~2 hours, providing immediate antimicrobial protection and then breaking down into components found in milk.

Intended use and program context
Resiclean™ is formulated for pre- and post-milking teat dip use within dairy hygiene programs. It is integrated into Ecolab's Dairy Hygiene Program, which offers technical guidance on udder health, parlour cleaning and farm biosecurity.
