Announcing the launch of Samaritan Shield. A revolutionary cleaner protectorant that has 99.99% effectiveness against key bacteria with 21 Day on-going effectiveness
WOODSTOCK, Ill., July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-ÌÇÐÄVlog/ -- Samaritan Shield Launches National Rollout of 21-Day SurfaceÌýProtectorant as Demand for Non-Toxic, Long-Lasting Protection Reaches New Highs
Patented NOVEX-AMG® Organometallic Zinc Technology Delivers Clinically Validated Protection Against MRSA, C. difficile, SARS-CoV-2, and More — Non-Toxic, Green Clean Institute Certification, NSF Registered
Samaritan Shield Co., a Woodstock, Illinois innovator in surface protection technology, today announced the national commercial launch of Samaritan Shield®, an advanced Surface Cleaner Protectorant that physically bonds to surfaces and delivers active protection for up to 21 days from a single application. The launch arrives as the U.S. surface disinfectant market — valued at $4.6 billion in 2026 and growing at 8.2% annually — shifts decisively toward long-lasting, sustainable formulations that go beyond momentary sanitization.
The CDC's 2024 HAI Progress Report confirms 1 in 31 hospital patients has a healthcare-associated infection on any given day, while the WHO estimates 136 million antibiotic-resistant HAI cases globally each year. Traditional disinfectants — ethanol and QUATs — stop working the moment they dry. Samaritan Shield's patented NOVEX-AMG® Organometallic Zinc technology (US Patent 10,455,831 B2) creates a residual barrier that continuously reduces pathogen load between cleaning cycles.
"One application, three weeks of active defense, in a formula safe enough to use around patients, children, and food surfaces. The science backs every claim."
— Rick Latella, CEO, Samaritan Shield Co.
