What is the Catalyst Cares Program?

We provide total protection for you and your devices. Through our Catalyst Cares Program, we stand up for what we believe in and support causes that matter to us around the world. We donate to charities that are inspiring and truly make an impact to their cause. We meticulously see if they are the right fit for our Catalyst Cares program and fit our ethos of protecting you and your devices.

Supporting the CDC Foundation

Aside from products that make a difference, we feel passionate about supporting the causes that matter now and have an impact today, so we have partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Foundation to support the CDC Foundation’s Coronavirus Emergency Response Fund. They are a non-profit that helps the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do more faster, by forging effective partnerships between the CDC and others to fight threats to health and safety.

Catalyst’s COVID Solution & Response

The CDC has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by providing advice for individuals and businesses on how to prevent infection.(Note 1) As part of that response, the CDC has recommended that people clean and disinfect their electronic devices, such as touch screens and tablets and the very first recommendation the CDC provides as a part of that guidance is to consider putting a wipeable cover on electronics.(Note 2)

Catalyst® Waterproof Cases provide the ideal solution for individuals and businesses to follow the CDC’s guidance to routinely CLEAN and DISINFECT frequently touched objects and surfaces including your electronic devices. Our cases allow you to:

Clean and Disinfect

Easily wash all surfaces of your case using soap and water, which reduces number of germs, dirt and impurities on the surface. Disinfect to kill germs on all surfaces using an appropriate disinfectant on the EPA List N: Disinfectants for Coronavirus (COVID-19)(Note 3) for use against SARs-CoV-2 to kill the virus that causes COVID 19 (Note 4).

  • Fully submerge your case in water or alcohol-based disinfectants (such as ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol), which in general have been shown to significantly reduce infectivity of enveloped viruses like SARS-CoV-2 in concentrations of 70-80% with one minute exposure time (Note 5).

How are we giving back?

4Not all disinfectants are suitable for the skin, and some may cause skin, eye or respiratory irritation damage or pain. Most disinfectants are diluted with other liquids for use. Different disinfectants may not be chemically compatible with the materials of the case which could otherwise damage the case or the device. The efficacy of alternative disinfection methods, such as ultrasonic waves, high intensity UV radiation, and LED blue light against COVID-19 virus is not known. The CDC only recommends use of the surface disinfectants identified on List N against the virus that causes COVID-19.
