Zylast Zylast is a line of "next generation" hand hygiene products –Zylast Foaming Soap –Zylast Antiseptic –Zylast Antiseptic Lotion –Zylast Surgical Scrub All Zylast products comply with FDA requirements for hand sanitizers and are Triclosan-free

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Ebola Grand Challenge Winner Zylast won the USAID Ebola Grand Challenge sponsored by the White House, the CDC, USAID, and the Defense Department in conjunction with the World Health Organization! Out of over 1,500 entries, Zylast is the only hand sanitizer that was even considered for protection from Ebola!

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast The Zylast Difference About Zylast Zylast is a revolution in hand hygiene. Offering rapid, broad-spectrum kill of germs and persistence, Zylast has been shown to reduce illness in hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. With water-based and non- flammable options, Zylast is the perfect choice for any setting! Winner Fighting Ebola Grand Challenge: Because of persistent efficacy, testing against viruses, and clinical studies showing a reduction in illness outbreaks, Zylast was awarded a winner by experts from the CDC, White House, USAID, and the Pentagon as a 'breakthrough innovation" in hand hygiene. The Zylast Difference Rapid, Broad-Spectrum Kill: Tested and shown to kill more than 99.9% of germs on contact. Persistent: Alcohol sanitizers are useless as soon as they evaporate, after about 15 seconds. All Zylast products are persistent. Moisturizing: Zylast actually adds moisture back into the skin, improving overall hand feel by 46% over alcohol sanitizers. Clinical Benefit: Shown to reduce hospital infections by 23.1%, illness in schools by 39%, and illness outbreaks by almost 90% when used in real-world settings. Cost Savings: Zylast gets 5 times more uses out of a bottle than a standard alcohol sanitizer, resulting in big savings for our customers!

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | VITAL-OXIDE® Broad Spectrum Kill Zylast kills 99.99% of germs. Kills viruses and drug-resistant bacteria: –MRSA, E. Coli, HIV, Norovirus, Enterovirus, Rhinovirus, Rotavirus, Polio Zylast is 100 times more effective against Norovirus than alcohol-based gels are. (Czerwinski et al, 2012)

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Persistence Zylast persists for six hours and through five hand washings with one application. Other hand sanitizers only work for seconds Alcohol-based hand sanitizers only work for seconds or until they evaporate.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Additional Benefits Zylast products don't dry or irritate skin. In fact, the active ingredient actually draws moisture into the skin. Zylast Antiseptic Lotion and Zylast Foaming Soap are water based so they're safe where alcohol-based products pose a potential fire hazard.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Zylast solves the issues of efficacy, persistence and comfort with approximately one-fifth the amount of product, so not only is it an ideal solution for killing germs, but it has an economic advantage as well. In fact one 8oz bottle of Zylast provides the same recommended usages as five 8 oz. bottles of Purell! Zylast Antimicrobial handwash takes 2 minutes to kill germs whereas Zylast works in just 15 seconds which is a more reasonable length of time to wash.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Skin Irritation While CHG is one of the more powerful antimicrobials, perhaps the biggest drawback in using CHG-based products is the skin irritation associated with them. Contact dermatitis is experienced by more than 50% of healthcare personnel, and is a leading cause of failures in hand hygiene compliance. In testing, only Triclosan was found to be more drying to the skin than CHG with repeated use. The active ingredient in Zylast, BZT, was actually found to increase moisture levels in the skin with use, protecting the skin from damage and encouraging use (Paulson et al). Not surprisingly, the drying effects of CHG result in greater skin irritation. When used 100 times daily for 5 consecutive days – mimicking use in healthcare facilities – a 4% CHG solution was found to be the most damaging to the skin. Even 0.75% CHG, less than in Avagard and most CHG soaps, resulted in significant irritation. Of the ingredients tested, only BZT did not result in any irritation for the user after 100 daily uses for 5 consecutive days.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Zylast has been shown to be significantly more effective than alcohol sanitizers against viruses. In one study against the Norovirus, the leading cause of acute gastrointestinal disease, Zylast was shown to be more than 100 times as effective as alcohol or antibacterial soap (like CHG) alone. (Czerwinksi et al; below Paulson et al)

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Data from a hospital sponsored study in which Purell was compared to hand washing. While Purell increased compliance – infection rates also increased in 3 of the 4 categories studied.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Study was Performed with Wash-Off Products Comparing the persistent activity once the products had been applied and were rinsed clean. The testing was performed against a 4% CHG scrub, the same active ingredient as HibiClens and other standard soaps used in healthcare settings. Zylast Foaming Soap significantly outperformed all products, including the CHG scrub, against both bacteria.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Deactivation by Other Products Concerns have been raised about the deactivation by CHG by other hand hygiene products, moisturizers, lotions, and other products. Among the major concerns is an item Carbomer which is an anionic thickener used in many alcohol-based hand sanitizers, including Purell. Purell Advanced™ contains citric acid, cellulose, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate and lactose – all ingredients that deactivate CHG products. Facilities that use alcohol-based sanitizers and CHG soaps may be accidentally reducing the effectiveness of their own hand hygiene products. Researchers noted that the two most common thickeners in alcohol-based products, carbomer and acrylates, both inhibit CHG. This is not a small effect, either.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast CHG Efficacy One study showed that CHG alone reduced S. aureus by 4.22 logs. In the presence of an alcohol-based sanitizer containing carbomer, the efficacy plummeted to 0.54 log reduction – more than 1,000 times less effective in killing bacteria! (Kaiser et al, Inactivation of Chlorohexidine Gluconate on skin by incompatible alcohol hand sanitizer gels, Am J Infect Control 2009;37: )

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Water-based Zylast Products Ideal for locations where alcohol toxicity and flammability are concerns -Near heat and flame sources, heat generating electro-mechanical components Zylast Foaming Hand Soap -Can eliminate the need for separate hand sanitizers oz. pump and 1,000 ml refill cartridge Zylast Antiseptic Lotion -Rich lotion softens hand -2 oz. bottle, 8 oz. pump, and 1,000 ml refill cartridge

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Water-based, non-flammable and moisturizing, the Antiseptic Lotion provides rapid, broad-spectrum kill and persistent protection, without irritating the skin. The Antiseptic Lotion is shown to actually add moisture back into the skin, and improved skin condition by 46% over an alcohol sanitizer when used in a hospital setting. It is the first non-alcohol product to exceed the reference alcohol product in rapid kill testing, and is persistent in the FDA-required testing at six hours. Available in 1/2 oz tubes, 2 oz bottles, 8 oz bottles, and 1 liter cartridges used inside the proprietary Zylast auto or manual dispensers.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast The Zylast Antiseptic is an alcohol-based sanitizer, designed for use in hospitals and medical facilities. Unlike traditional alcohol sanitizers, the Zylast Antiseptic offers persistence, demonstrated in testing conducted at six hours after application. It is also designed with moisturizers and emollients to restore moisture to the skin and reduce irritation with multiple uses. The Zylast Antiseptic is the first hand sanitizer proven to reduce hospital-acquired infection in a controlled, crossover clinical trial. Available in 2 oz bottles (pictured above), 8 oz bottles, and 1 liter cartridges used inside the proprietary Zylast auto or manual dispensers.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast The Zylast Antiseptic Foaming Soap uses the same proprietary Zylast technology to provide a rapid, broad-spectrum kill of germs with persistence. Filled with moisturizers, it leaves the hands feeling silky and smooth. A light, pleasant citrus scent lingers after use. When compared against other soaps on the market, the Zylast Foaming Soap showed substantially better persistent effect when tested against both E. coli (gram negative) and MRSA (gram positive) bacteria in testing conducted at Pace University. Available in an 8.25 oz pump bottle (pictured above) and in a 1L cartridge to be used inside the proprietary Zylast auto or manual dispensers.

B E CONSULTING SOLUTIONS,LLC. | Zylast Zylast uses proprietary, ADA-compliant wall-mounted dispensers. Customers can either use automatic ("touch- free") dispensers or manual dispensers in their facility. Both dispensers can be mounted either with provided screws or with attached tape. Dispensers lock using a key to prevent tampering.
