ALSTASAN SILVOX: Silver Hydrogen Peroxide based Eco-friendly Disinfectant

One catastrophe that our planet is dealing with in huge proportion is Pollution. Whenever an external ingredient (such as pollutant) gets introduced in a regular closed environment, disrupting its symmetry and normal behavior, everyone starts acknowledging its increasing problems over time.

There are various ways that can be utilized to combat pollution. Most of them are categorized as man-made sources like use of chemicals, fumigators, filters, etc. Mass dependency on these artificial resources may reduce the level of pollutants for a considerable period but will also lead to the generation of huge toxic byproducts in the atmosphere that may have the ability to infect the comprisals of the environment adversely. Striking a balance between combating pollutants and minimizing harmful byproducts is important for sustainability.

Silver Hydrogen Peroxide, a unique environment friendly blend of hydrogen peroxide and silver, combined to a stabilized, more potent blend of disinfecting chemical. It provides high efficacy in killing harmful pathogens across multiple media (viz., air, water, and surface) without leaving any kind of toxic residues on them. The key ingredients to Silver Hydrogen Peroxide include Hydrogen Peroxide which is a potent oxidizer, stabilized by the addition of antimicrobial Silver, that too in its Nano form, adhered by many inert stabilizers, and catalysts.

Once the microorganism is killed, the silver quickly stabilizes the peroxide and store its activities for further use without allowing it to degrade. The chemical alliance of silver and hydrogen peroxide manifests excellent anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties and effectively eradicates harmful micro-organisms and also prevents further replication of those parasites as the silver present in the compound alters the DNA structure of those micro-organism, inhibiting any kind of further reproduction. The combination of the two elements provide high efficacy in killing of bacteria, fungi and viruses in almost all possible applications such as soil, water, air and any hard surface.

The major reason behind its deemed fame is because of the following benefits:

• Cold sterilant, requiring no heat for disinfection
• Multipurpose product
• Eco-friendly, degrading into water and oxygen
• Silver adds additional anti-microbial properties
• Ensures rapid disinfection working on a short contact time
• Colourless, Odourless, Nonpolluting and non-staining in nature
• Effective over a wide range of microorganisms
• Silver acts on the microbial DNA, making the nematodes incapable of replication and most importantly
• Degrades into non-toxic by products i.e. water and oxygen making it eco-friendly
