Innovation and Quality

Behind Zimmer Reinigungstechnik GmbH stands the vision of a safe and sustainable community.
As an owner-managed family business, we rely on fair partnerships, absolute reliability and forward-looking innovations.

Our Milestones and Competencies

History:
Founded in 2000 as a specialist wholesaler for professional cleaning supplies, we have been manufacturing and distributing our own highly innovative disinfection solutions since 2014.

ECA technology:
Through electrochemical activation, we produce hypochlorous acid (HOCl). This active substance effectively destroys germs, bacteria, Legionella and mold fungi without building up resistance.

Certified safety:
We are an official manufacturer, active substance and product supplier. We are also listed on the European Article 95 List of the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) for product types 1 to 5.

Responsibility

For us, sustainability is not a “buzzword” but the foundation of our daily work. Our customers face major challenges today: they must meet the highest hygiene standards while minimizing their ecological footprint.
With our DESINFECT product line, based on our ECA technology, we prove that uncompromising effectiveness and “genuine environmental protection” go hand in hand.

Sustainability

Water-based instead of a chemical sledgehammer:
Conventional disinfectants are usually based on aggressive chemicals, alcohols or surfactants that enter the environment during use and burden biological cycles. DESINFECT is based on a purely mineral solution of water and salt, modified by electrochemical activation (ECA).
This means: the product disinfects highly effectively but introduces no toxic residues into nature or wastewater.

Conserving valuable resources

By deliberately avoiding petrochemical alcohols and synthetic fragrances, colorants or auxiliary substances, we drastically reduce CO₂ emissions in the supply and production chain. We manufacture directly at our site in Hettstadt, rely on regional responsibility and minimize unnecessary environmental impact through short transport routes.

99.99% degradability

After our products have done their job and reliably eliminated germs, viruses or bacteria, they break down again into their natural base substances: “oxygen, water and salt”. Our products are 99.99% degradable.
You are surely wondering: why not biodegradable?
The methods for determining biodegradability do not apply to inorganic substances!
No environmentally harmful microsubstances remain that could accumulate in soil or water.
This means: no bioaccumulation, since HOCl decomposes and therefore cannot accumulate in the food chain or in the fatty tissue of humans and animals.

Protecting sewage treatment plants: Unlike aggressive disinfectants, quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and chlorine bleach solutions, HOCl at normal application concentrations does not block the biological processes in sewage treatment plants, as it is already neutralized on the way there.

Vegan and 100% animal-test-free

Biosafety must not cause suffering! All our formulations are completely vegan and free from animal-derived ingredients.
We also guarantee that no animal testing whatsoever was carried out for the development and manufacture of our products.

Safe for people, animals and nature

True sustainability includes protecting life. Since DESINFECT is alcohol-free and pH-neutral, it is gentle on the skin (dermatologically tested “very good”) and releases no harmful vapors. Whether in food production, agriculture or skilled trades: you protect your employees, your animals and our environment.
