Kuala Lumpur, 3 June 2021 - The disinfectant market has been witnessing stellar growth over the years, driven by changes in consumer behaviour, and the increasing prevalence of healthcare-associated infections worldwide such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the need to provide reliable, trustworthy and certified products and services that can truly protect you and your loved ones, Malaysia’s leading antibacterial and disinfectant brand, Bactakleen is proud to announce that they are one of the few companies globally to have three certified products with a 99.95% kill rate against the Human Coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease. The brand is on a mission to improve overall air quality, and to constantly innovate to produce treatments that are successful in eliminating harmful microorganisms in the everyday air that we breathe, from airborne diseases to poor indoor air quality and bacteria and viruses on widespread surfaces.
In Malaysia, the demand for disinfectant products have skyrocketed in line with the rise in COVID-19 cases resulting even in panic-buying situations across the country. The rise in consumers realising the importance of hygiene and personal care has opened up the market to numerous disinfectant products, which unfortunately also brought to light disingenuous products, offering consumers a false sense of security. Authorities have warned against the use of unregulated hand sanitisers, and Malaysia’s Ministry of Health (MoH) has also published a list of banned disinfectant products that are ineffective and even hazardous to human health.
Bactakleen at the forefront of the fight against the COVID-19 outbreak
Leading the front in the fight to combat COVID-19, Bactakleen is rated the World’s No.1 antibacterial disinfectant for cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation systems. Working continuously with several chemists and microbiologist associates, the brand prides itself on creating innovative and creative products that are unique in the market. The majority of Bactakleen’s research and development is carried out in Malaysia, supplemented by research parties from Europe and Japan. The brand is also tested by international laboratories such as SGS, TUV and Chemlab, and their products are also covered by an international product liability insurance - a world first in the industry. Among the many benefits the brand’s antibacterial system provides include the reduction in Influenza spread, removal of bacteria colony build-ups, neutralising bad odour, and also improving air-conditioning efficiency. The brand has even undertaken testing with SGS to prove its product performance. It’s three products – the Bactakleen Ultra Mist solution, Marvekleen, and the Bactakleen Bactashield Basic are certified to have a 99.95% kill against the Human Coronavirus and the COVID-19 virus.
Sia Ban Ian, the founder and CEO of Excelsia Technologies Sdn Bhd said “I am proud that Bactakleen, a Malaysian brand has grown to gain such an international recognition, and plays a vital role in combating the pandemic that has plagued countries globally since 2019. We were there at the forefront during the initial outbreak in China. Our products have been proven effective in reducing cross contamination from person to person, and it even eliminates the virus in the air conditioning systems and contact surfaces. We assure you, with Bactakleen your air will be cleaner and virus-free.”

Founded in 2008 by Excelsia Technologies, the brand is also an advocate in the importance of good public health and well-being, focusing its efforts on raising awareness about hygiene, cleanliness and general sanitisation nationwide. With a global presence in over 52 countries, they aim to increase that number to 60 by the end of 2021. Quickly becoming one of the most reputable providers for antibacterial treatments, Bactakleen products can be used for a wide range of applications, from HVAC systems, hard surfaces to domestic, commercial and even for automotive cleaning purposes.
“It all started from the saying -“Necessity is the mother of invention”. The daily environment we find ourselves in is constantly exposed to harmful pollutants. Too often do we also see our children and loved ones falling ill, and co-workers frequently taking medical leaves. Our usual solution is to use the conventional spray and wipe applications. What's more, no one talks about the millions of germs and bacteria in our HVAC systems that serve as catalysts that spread illness. Hence, we resolved to eliminate these harmful pollutants at its source - and with the help of our robust research and development team, we have developed a non-toxic antibacterial treatment system, called Bactakleen. Proven to kill 99.9% of dangerous bacteria, germs, virucide, pathogens and allergens, our products are capable of reaching even the nooks and crevices of a space. We do not believe in introducing a harmful chemical to remove other harmful pollutants and as such our products are clinically proven to be safe, non-toxic and environmentally friendly,” Ian states.
He further adds, “The traditional methods of cleaning air conditioning systems are more focused on the removal of physical dust and dirt. However, no one has even considered cleaning the air conditioner to remove bacteria and fungus. Condensation and dust particles collected on the filters provide the ideal breeding environment for biological contaminants resulting in the sick building and sick car syndromes, especially prevalent in humid countries like Malaysia. With the introduction of Bactakleen’s Ultra Mist solution, there is now a proper solution to treat this issue.”

The brand’s best-selling product, the Bactakleen Ultra Mist solution instantly kills up to 99% of bacteria and mold spores in the air conditioning systems, providing immediate and long-term protection against viruses. Developed specifically to be used only with the Ultra Mist machine, the solution has been clinically proven to improve air quality, reduce the spread of viruses, helps individuals with existing respiratory conditions such as allergies, multiple chemical sensitivities and asthma to breathe better, and even eliminates sick car and building syndrome. Providing a safe, non-toxic and environmentally safe surrounding, the product also improves the efficiency of air conditioning systems, even resulting in the reduction of electricity costs.
Covering the disinfectant industry at a greater capacity, all of Bactakleen products are made following GMP standards backed by approval from the Malaysian Government. The brand is also approved by key brands from around the world, including major car manufacturers - Toyota, Honda Nissan, BMW, numerous international hotel chains, oil and gas companies such as Shell, food processing factories, and companies from many other industries. Bactakleen seeks to introduce several more new products for the disinfectant market down the line.
