GeoSIL - Product Description

GeoSIL is a multi-component disinfectant, developed by Sanosil Ltd of Switzerland and protected by

patent world-wide (patent number CH 673225). The oxidising agent used is hydrogen peroxide, which is bonded with stabilising agents to form a complex solution. A long-lasting effect is ensured by the addition of silver that acts as a catalyst in trace amounts. The bactericidal effect of silver is based on the fact that the monovalent silver ion binds very firmly to bacterial proteins by a covalent or coordinate bond, and thus inactivates or precipitates these.

q       Its effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, amoebae, fungi and algae, i.e. its extremely wide range of application makes it easy to handle for the end user. Only one product is needed, where so far 2, 3 or more products were necessary.

q       Owing to the good stability of the product, a long storage time can be guaranteed. The product remains stable at high water/air temperatures; its effectiveness is even increased at high temperatures.

q       Due to its long-term effectiveness and excellent characteristics to prevent recontamination, this product is perfectly suitable for the disinfection of drinking
water and wells.

q       GeoSIL is ecologically harmless. Its principal constituent - hydrogen peroxide - does not pollute waste-water, because it breaks down into water and oxygen (H₂O and O₂), i.e. it produces no noxious by-products.

q       The two basic substances (H₂O₂ and Ag) enhance their advantages (synergism). The bactericidal effect comes into action quicker and more intensively than if either substance was used on its own.

q       The combined effects of oxidisation and oligodynamy have created a two-phased product, which – compared to other disinfectants - is capable of destroying biofilm. A process, which is important in destroying viruses and bacteria, that creates so-called biofilm as a natural protection. The oxygen separated from hydrogen peroxide destroys the biofilm, thus enabling the silver to destroy the bacteria or virus.
