Umbra Applied Technologies Group Inc (UATG)

[Gordo56]

So I called the company and was just told that they dont have to register with the EPA because silver treatment as an antimicrobial is already listed as a pesticide. If you use an already registered material you do not have to re-register it which makes sense and I feel stupid for calling to ask.

I called EPA and after literally 3 transfers, a hang up, call back and 2 more transfers I spoke with someone who confirmed UATG's claims. This took almost 45 min! The net time someone comes up with one of these waste of time suggestions they should waste their own time and not everyone elses!

I did find out that Hygieia is not only ASTM E2149 standard compliant but is also TM-100 standard complaint which apparently is not common, takes a year approval and is for medical use. That means they have been working on this and planning this for quite some time and they are very clearly targeting the medical industry.
