Synergex™ Earns EPA Biofilm Claim for Food Contact Surfaces
A biofilm kill claim for food contact surfaces was desperately needed. With no approved test method available, Ecolab partnered with the EPA to develop a food contact surface biofilm test method. Learn more about the development of the test, and how Synergex measures up.

Synergex™: A First Line of Defense Against Biofilms
Synergex is the only no-rinse sanitizer and disinfectant to hold an EPA claim of penetrating and killing biofilms on food-contact surfaces – helping you measurably improve your food safety and product quality metrics. Biofilms on food-contact surfaces in the food and beverage industry have been a longstanding issue, until now. So solve this problem, Ecolab partnered with the EPA to develop the first-ever food-contact biofilm test method.
Synergex™ Success Stories
Synergex has helped a wide variety of food and beverage manufacturers improve their product quality, promote food safety and increase productivity.

Cheese and Whey Processing
Achieve plant goals. The plant was able to move from a six-step CIP program to a four-step program on the cheddar master, salter, Vat 8, milk and curd line, rennet line, vat chase and block foamers allowing the plant to gain two additional vats of cheese per day.
