（Production of CRYSTAL VEIL FUITE BOKIN 24 ended as of January 2016.）

°®¶¹´«Ã½. (Headquarters: Tokyo, President & CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) announced today that it will launch Crystal Veil Fuite Bokin 24 (classified in Japan as Miscellaneous Goods), a new wet wipes product that contains the long-acting antimicrobial agent Etak®, in Japan on Monday, November 25.

Crystal Veil Fuite Bokin 24 wet wipes are designed for domestic use on personal items and household surfaces suspected of harboring viruses or bacteria. By simply wiping down a suspected area, Crystal Veil Fuite Bokin 24 offers round-the-clock protection from harmful microbes that adhere to surfaces in the home and other day-to-day locations.

Etak, the main ingredient used in the product, was developed by Professor Hiroki Nikawa of the Department of Oral Health Engineering at Hiroshima University's Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences. It contains both antimicrobial and adhesive substances and works by chemically binding the antimicrobial substance to the wiped area using its adhesive properties, thereby ensuring 24-hour protection from viruses and bacteria that adhere to surfaces when left unchecked. In fiscal 2013, Professor Nikawa was awarded the Commendation for Science and Technology by Japan's Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology for his successful development of Etak.

In the home, there are many surfaces where viruses and bacteria can adhere and accumulate, including door handles, desks and tables, and children's toys. A quick wipe down of such surfaces with Crystal Veil Fuite Bokin 24 helps to provide peace of mind by defending against harmful microbes for prolonged periods. The product is therefore recommended as a new strategy against viruses and bacteria in the home. Additionally, for similar Etak 24-hour protection in Japan, Eisai also markets Crystal Veil® Mask Bokin 24, a spray that helps to prevent viruses and bacteria from adhering to face masks.

Eisai will continue to deliver a wide range of products to meet the diverse needs of consumers and contribute to increasing the benefits that those products provide.
