DIFFERENCE
HALT ™ is a novel, patent-pending
additive, with the potential to
REVOLUTIONIZE food safety by
significantly reducing the bacteria load
on conveyor belting and preventing
biofilm. Independent labratory tests
showed that plastic molded with the
HALT ™ additive, repelled 99.9% of all
pathogens. In the real world, pathogen
prevention, on this scale, promises
to save food processors millions of
dollars by reducing energy, water, and
waste water expenses; while ALSO
significantly increasing shelf-life.

HALT Pathogen Control Solutions, LLC,
a sister company of Safari Belting
Systems, is dedicated to improving
food safety & quality through delivery
of novel, antimicrobial plastics and
treatments for hard surfaces. HALT,
under the direction of current Safari
Belting Vice President, Julia Smith, has
assembled a highly specialized and
talented R&D team, whose sole focus
is to develop environmentally-friendly,
pathogen prevention solutions which
provide potent, renewable, broadspectrum protection.

Unlike sprays or coatings, the HALT ™
additive is blended homogeneously
throughout the plastic. It won't wear
off or evaporate. The active ingredient
in HALT ™ is chlorine - known to be a
safe & effective biocidal which, unlike
other sanitation chemicals, does not
create antibiotic resistance. HALT ™
plastics are "Rechargeable" by rinsing
with a dilute chlorine solution. HALT ™
is effective against E. coli, Listeria and
other dangerous pathogens, as well
as mold, fungi and decomposition
organisms.

MPB with its porous surfaces and
numerous crevices, is difficult to clean,
making it susceptible to the formation
of biofilm. Studies show that 80% of
all foodborne illness can be traced to
contact with biofilm. Biofilms consist
of thin layers of microbial cells which
adhere to each other, producing a
protective extracellular "shell". It is
this sticky, protective coating, which
grows in areas not easily, or effectively
cleaned, that presents the biggest
challenge for sanitation. Often, harsh
chemicals are needed to dissolve these
protective coatings.

PLATED VIABLE COLONIES VS CONTROL

To reduce food recalls due to microbial
contamination, processors need to be
able to prevent biofilm formation and
build-ups on the surfaces of conveyor
belting systems, as well as the other
tools and instruments.
