Redefining Udder Health with Resiclean™ Teat Dip

For 20 years, teat dips have relied on the same chemistries. Resiclean™ teat dip
changes that. 
Backed by Ecolab® innovation and years of development, this formula introduces a unique active ingredient to the market — one that’s already showing strong performance across key udder health metrics.

The challenge on today’s dairies

Dairy producers need to protect udder health and deliver consistently high-quality milk—while expectations around antimicrobial use and residue scrutiny continue to rise.

  • Reduces the spread of organisms which may cause mastitis
  • Support SCC and milk quality
  • Fast, effective disinfection
  • Reduce residue concerns


How Resiclean™ helps:

  • 15-second Kill for Rapid disinfection
  • 5% Emollients to Support Teat Condition
  • Breakdown into components naturally found in milk

Built on Breakthrough Technology

Resiclean teat dip is powered by PerfomicPro™ technology – Ecolab’s proprietary formulation built around perfomic acid, a proven oxidative biocide that delivers broad-spectrum pathogen control.

What does this mean to you?

Provides fast, reliable disinfection against a wide range of pathogens to help protect udder health — without relying on the same older chemistries.

 

 


Features & Benefits

Exceptional Performance


Provides broad-spectrum protection against pathogens, reducing the spread of organisms which may cause mastitis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella aerogenes, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Icons

Fast-Acting

Achieves effective disinfection in as little as 15 seconds.

Icons

Skin Conditioning

Effective skin conditioning with 5% glycerin for improved hydration.

Icons

Residue-Friendly

Acts as an oxidizer to break down into formic acid and water; components already found in milk

Icons

Controlled Concentration

Easy to mix and manage for consistent results every time.

Antimicrobial Performance

Resiclean Teat Dip outperforms iodine maintaining robust activity even at low temperatures.

 

 

  • Strong performance at colder temperatures

  • 100ppm PFA vs. 10,000 ppm Iodine

  • Iodine has weak performance at colder temperatures
Bar chart comparing antimicrobial performance against S. aureus: Resiclean™ (100 ppm PFA) shows ~6.5 log reduction at both 25 °C and 4 °C, while 1% iodine shows ~2 at 25 °C and near zero at 4 °C.

Resiclean Breaks Down to Components Naturally Found in Milk

Growing concern over chemical residues and processor restrictions increases pressure on dairies to adopt effective udder care solutions that protect milk quality.

 

  • Performic acid (PFA) functions as an oxidizing agent, breaking down into formic acid and water.
  • It breaks down rapidly under non-acidic conditions.
  • In test solutions containing 10% milk at 25°C, PFA at 60 ppm concentration degrades below the method's limit of detection (LOD) within 2 hours.

Fast protection when applied—then it breaks down into components naturally found in milk.
