Nelson expands Supernova range as UK hospitality sets to reopens

British alternative medicine company Nelson has expanded its alcohol-free Supernova sanitiser range in light following the announcement that pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels can reopen in the UK next weekend.

Supernova is fully certified and has been proven to kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for Covid 19, within just 60 seconds.


Products within the range extends from miniature, personal-use, hand-sanitisers to wall and floor-mounted dispensers thus enabling any hospitality or foodservice to find easy to use.

The hand sanitiser remains effective once used for up to two hours on hands and two weeks on surfaces and does not affect rubbers, plastics or metals due its alcohol-free content.

It works by physically and chemically damaging the bacterial cells rather than affecting their metabolism, meaning pathogens will not become used to, or resistant to, Supernova over time.

Testing has mostly been carried out at Alcontrol and BluScientific Test Data Laboratories to ensure compatibility with different materials, user safety and tests to identify residual activity.
