Technology

One technology across the range

Every DEFEND product is a hypochlorous solution activated by SPT95, the proprietary process from Supra Perfecta Technologies Limited.[4] Hypochlorous is the molecule that white blood cells called neutrophils make to destroy microbes they have engulfed.[5]
