Eco-Friendly Disinfectant - Nano Silver Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen Peroxide – A Potent Environment Friendly Disinfectant

Hydrogen peroxide is known for its antimicrobial efficacy, usage flexibility, non-toxicity and environment friendliness. Effective on a broad spectrum of microorganisms, hydrogen peroxide works rapidly, and has excellent material compatibility with limited to negligible toxicity concerns subjected to the way it is used. The working mechanism of hydrogen peroxide is of course related to oxidizing ability. On exposure to organic matter ergo microorganisms, free radicals of peroxide cause significant disruptions in the cellular cellular structure.

Silver – An Antimicrobial Metal

Inferences regarding silver being an effective antimicrobial agent has received global attention in recent times, especially Ag-NP (Silver Nano particles). These Nano particles possess a broad spectrum of antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties, having the ability to pierce through microbial DNA, auto lyzing and resulting in cellular death. Owing to their large ratio of surface to volume makes them immensely potent. The Ag-NP allows permeability of membranes, producing reactive oxygen molecules and preventing replication of DNA on silver ions release.

Silver Nano Particles:

  • Attaches itself to the surface of the cell membrane, interrupting permeability and metabolic pathways of the cell
  • Not only interact with the membrane surface, but can also penetrate the bacterial cell membrane.
  • In addition, they can bind to the DNA inside the microbial cells, preventing its replication.
  • It has been discovered that nano-Ag particles can damage the bacterial cell membrane structure and reduce the activity of some membranous enzymes.

Silver Hydrogen Peroxide

  • An Ecofriendly Disinfectant

Silver Hydrogen Peroxide works as a universal eco-friendly disinfectant, manifesting high efficacy in killing harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses from almost all types of application surfaces without leaving any kind of toxic residues over them.

How?

Hydrogen peroxide being highly volatile, releases free hydroxyl radicals upon contact with microorganisms. Once the dead, the silver quickly stabilizes the peroxide and store its biocidal activity for further use without allowing it to degrade, unlike normal hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, the silver ions being positive in nature deactivates the negative cellular RNA, and neutralizing their multiplying ability.

Benefits
