St. Paul, Minn. - October 29, 2025 - Ecolab Life Sciences today announced the launch of its Klercide™ Rapid Sporicide, a new sporicidal disinfectant designed to elevate pharmaceutical cleanroom safety and performance, while reducing overall production turnover time. This new pharma cleanroom product is milder on equipment and surfaces and helps improve user experience along with work conditions.
Ecolab's latest pharma cleanroom sporicide addresses long-standing challenges in pharma microbial control, like strong odors, corrosiveness, and full surface coverage, all of which contribute to a reduced lifetime of equipment and a less desirable work environment for operators. This new formula is a market-changing innovation, delivering efficacy while minimizing residue, reducing re-application time and enhancing the overall user experience. This leads to shorter changeover times and overall savings for pharmaceutical manufacturers, helping deliver safely made medicines to patients faster. The new sporicide will be available in a variety of formats to meet the entire lifecycle of pharma production.
"Cleanroom operators and pharmaceutical manufacturers have long sought a sporicide solution that balances efficacy and usability, without the strong odor or corrosiveness associated with existing solutions," said Meg Carr, vice president & general manager, Ecolab Life Sciences. "Klercide Rapid Sporicide represents a significant advancement in cleanroom contamination control and underpins Ecolab's commitment to creating a measurable impact in safe manufacturing."
Klercide Rapid Sporicide is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Reg. No. 1677-288) for use against bacterial spores, fungi, and other hard-to-kill microorganisms. State registrations are in process.
