Company description: BBJ Environmental Solutions, Inc. develops, manufactures and markets products that eliminate air contamination in heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems anywhere they are used (health care facilities, office buildings, residential homes, schools, governmental facilities, transportation vehicles, food plants, etc.). BBJ products are sold through private label partners, wholesalers and HVAC contractors who provide service across the U.S. All BBJ products are environmentally friendly, easy to use and biodegradable. To learn more how you can improve the healthfulness of your environment, safeguard yourself and your family from the hazards of indoor air pollution and enjoy the benefits from reduced energy bills, please find additional information at http://www.bbjenviro.com.

BBJ MicroBiocide, the only EPA registered product specifically for HVAC/R systems, is highly effective in preventing or inhibiting the growth of active microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, mold and other fungi that grow in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. Although BBJ MicroBiocide effectively kills these microorganisms upon application, what makes this product unique is its ability to make that same treated surface uninhabitable to future microbial growth for months at a time. By preventing the growth and establishment of colonies, you effectively eliminate the various health effects caused by microbes in the HVAC system; and BBJ MicroBiocide is the only EPA registered product that will prevent the growth and re-establishment of colonies for six months at a time.

BBJ MicroBiocide is highly effective in controlling and inhibiting the growth of active microorganisms such as gram positive and gram negative bacteria, algae, mold and other fungi that grow in HVAC/R systems for up to six months. Power Coil Clean is a non-caustic, non-corrosive heavy duty coil cleaner that safely cleans and deodorizes evaporator coils, condenser coils, heating coils, window units, air filters, blowers, and other dirty HVAC/R components without damaging metal surfaces. Micro Coil Clean, with its highly effective detergent-based formula containing specially engineered surfactants, is specially formulated for preventative maintenance use to remove soils and deposits from cooling coils without damaging metal surfaces. FreshDuct Odor Eliminator encapsulates odors at the source, not just cover them up. Its advanced technology destroys odors on contact to freshen and deodorize air ducts, basements, attics, crawl spaces and other areas prone to odors. BBJ Spray Disinfectant/Cleaner combines the germ killing ability of a disinfectant with a cleaning agent. It disinfects and cleans hard, non-porous, inanimate environmental surfaces such as air-conditioning vents, grilles, diffusers and other hard surfaces where microbial contamination may accumulate. The Indoor Air First Aid Kit contains BBJ MicroBiocide, Micro Coil Clean, and BBJ Spray Disinfectant/Cleaner to treat a single residential home or small office HVAC unit. MANAGEMENT
