Due to the Spread of Novel Coronavirus... The Well-Deserved Popularity of 'Sanho Disinfectant'

Sannaedeul SM Disinfectant Cleaner 'Magic Coral'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] A natural sterilizing cleanser made using 'calcined coral powder' developed by a domestic small and medium-sized enterprise is attracting attention. With the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan pneumonia), more people are seeking sterilizers made from sedimentary coral as a raw material.

According to Sannaedeul SM, located in Pangyo, Gyeonggi Province, buyers looking for the portable sterilizing cleanser 'Magic Coral' have recently surged. Lee Myung-bok, CEO of Sannaedeul SM, said, "Although these are promotional samples for buyers rather than products sold on the market, the stock of about 6,000 units has recently sold out," adding, "Interest in calcined coral powder, which has effects such as sterilizing contaminants, is expected to grow."

Founded in 2013, Sannaedeul SM holds patented technology for mass production of natural water-soluble minerals. After harvesting sedimentary coral, the company uses patented technology to undergo calcination and maturation processes to produce water-soluble powder raw materials, which can be used to make over 150 types of products. Applications include sterilizers, health functional foods, plant nutrients, animal feed, food additives, and mineral calcium ion water.

CEO Lee stated, "Calcined coral powder is an excellent natural disinfectant with outstanding sterilizing effects when cleaning hands, face, mobile phones, glasses, and more," adding, "It can be widely used in eco-friendly technologies such as manufacturing sterilizers, fertilizers and feed, and cosmetics."

He continued, "The powder made by calcining and maturing sedimentary coral contains over 70 essential minerals for human metabolism, including magnesium, iron, and germanium, in addition to calcium, making it usable as a raw material for health functional foods and pharmaceuticals that enhance immunity against various viruses and bacteria."

Lee Myung-bok, CEO of Sannaedeul SM, is talking about products using 'Soseong coral powder' at the Korea Federation of SMEs in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 11th.

In the case of the sterilizing cleanser product Magic Coral, it has been used as a sample to promote sales of other released products. However, due to growing anxiety over the spread of the novel coronavirus, buyers seeking Magic Coral have increased, and the company plans to secure more stock.

CEO Lee said, "This product has gained a lot of attention because of the spread of the novel coronavirus," adding, "As orders have surged, we are preparing to secure the necessary stock."

Sannaedeul SM recently also launched a health functional food called 'Super Mineral Calcium Two Plus.' According to the company, once ingested, it ionizes immediately, is 100% absorbed by the body, and any excess is excreted.

CEO Lee explained, "Our company is likely the only one in the world producing products using the patented method for mass production of natural water-soluble minerals through coral calcination."
