An Eco-friendly disinfectant "Silver Hydrogen Peroxide" and its application

Author: Shubham Karnani

The sole use purpose of a disinfectant is to kill and prevent microbial overload by keeping a check on the growing colonization of microorganisms. But, most of them have a potentially noxious effect on the ecosystem and carry along chances of residual toxicity, often in a directly proportional relationship, more effective the disinfectant, the more residual toxicity it carries. Hence, it comes as no surprise that these chemicals can harm plants and animals, including humans if used without caution.

With most communicable infections on the rise, as well as the emergence of new virulent pathogens, cleaning and disinfection programs yearn for the most importance. Pathogens can survive on bio-contaminated surfaces for prolonged periods of time. These surfaces become the sources of most communicable diseases.

Alstasan Silvox 150: Silver nitrate and hydrogen peroxide disinfectant liquid for hospitals and health care places where excess patient overload in emergency service areas means that poor attention is paid to thorough cleaning and disinfection, which otherwise would require closing the concerned area.

Sterilization in hospitals is and should be carried out in each and every sub-department of hospitals with priority to operation theatres (OT), wards, corridors, HVAC/AC ventilation, toilets, clean rooms, etc. Hospitals or critical/high-traffic areas such as operation theatres (OT), wards, corridors, HVAC/ AC ventilation, toilets, patient facilities, ICU, ICCU, CCU, ITU, pathology labs, etc., become sources of transmission. The surgical items must be properly cleaned and disinfected as they directly come in contact with bio-contaminated surfaces. Similarly, wards and waiting areas, corridors should be regularly cleaned and sanitized as maximum patients and their relatives wait here. Hospital toilets and washrooms are very sensitive areas and need to be regularly cleaned and disinfected.

Airborne microorganisms spread rapidly owing to the vastness of the medium. Pathogens like Bacillus anthrax, Varicella zoster, Orthomyxo virus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, mucormycetes or black fungus spread rapidly through air with the currents and settle on the most unwanted crevices, reproducing and colonizing.

Infection control in Operation Theatres (OT), Intensive Care Units (ICU), and other critical care areas is achieved with effective hydrogen peroxide silver nitrate fumigation. Silver hydrogen peroxide at a recommended concentration is fumigated using a fogging machine to disinfect a particular area to minimize outside contamination. Upon settling down, these aerosol droplets reveal their effect. The other ecofriendly properties assist in reducing the other demerits of conventional methods.

Reasons for using silver nitrate and hydrogen peroxide disinfectant liquid over other fumigants:

  • Cold sterilant; requires no additional heat to disinfect
  • Broad spectrum efficacy
  • Can be used for both air and surface sanitization
  • Stable over a wide pH and temperature range
  • Silver has a store and depot effect which enhances efficiency with a low dosage
  • Works on a short contact time with no toxic residues

There is no alternative to cleaning, disinfection, and personal safety. Therefore, the first and foremost thing, is cleaning and regular surface disinfection with area-specific chemicals. Cleaning with only detergent or regular disinfectants does not ensure proper sanitization and ensure outer cleanliness and brightness on the application surfaces, also increases the massive spread of harmful diseases by leaving toxic residues on the surface applied on. Hence, the need of the hour is to ensure proper and vigilant safety protocols in areas to keep people out of infection reach, with proper planning and execution.

Alstasan Silvox 150: Silver nitrate and hydrogen peroxide disinfectant liquid can effectively remove unwanted pathogens, bacteria, spores, fungi, viruses, and yeast from Hospitals and Health Care Systems. Used as environment-friendly disinfectant and sterilizer in OT, ICU, ICCU, sanitizing tunnels, coveralls/ PPE, masks, exposed hospital clothing, bedpans, catheters, and other surfaces & and equipment, water supplies, and storage tank sanitation, bio-medical even semi-solid waste sanitation.
