Sanosil – The unlimited benefits
Sanosil is a world leading disinfectant which can be used in a multitude of industries in varies ways.
Originating form Switzerland, this disinfectant is proven to be superior to other disinfectants on the market due to its unique quality and versatile components.
Sanosil is made from 2 basic components Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and Silver (Ag+). combining these two elements results in an impressive enhancement of the properties of each of the two individual substances.
How it Works
Sanosil products are a Complex, Synergistic Chemistry:
The secret of the Sanosil disinfectants is the combined 2-phase effect of the main ingredients hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and silver (Ag+).
- The components release highly reactive free radicals that immediately begin to attack the cell membrane of the targeted micro-organism.
- The oxygen, split off by the hydrogen peroxide, attacks the cell walls of the microorganisms upon direct contact. The chemical reaction of the oxygen with molecules in the cell walls denaturises and destroys these.
- This effect is boosted by silver ions that bind to the enzymes, this incapacitates the energy source as well as the metabolic system of the microorganisms and causes rapid death of the microorganism.
To put it simply: the hydrogen peroxide affects the membrane of the microorganisms and the silver affects the inside. This combined “hammer and ambos” effect boosts and/or exponentiates the biocide effect of hydrogen peroxide and silver on a large scale.
Universal range of application.
There are numbers products in the Sanosil range all designed to target a specific area in water treatment.
They have a specific biocidal product range focused on treating cooling water. (these include Sanosil Super 25, Sanosil C & Sanosil S015.)
Their Sanosil Corfit CT Protect product line are designed for evaporative coolers. In contrast to other “all-in-one” products, they do not contain biocides. These must be dosed separately according to the individual cooling-circuit requirements. This means that cooling water can be treated in a much more targeted and specific way.
Sanosil S010 is an effective surface disinfectant which can also be used with a sprayer to cover a larger area.
In addition to its impressive effectiveness against all relevant germs, the depot effect ensures long-lasting action and provides enough time to carry out drying measures. The hydrogen peroxide content also ensures that mould toxins and odour molecules are broken down by oxidation (cold combustion).
Effective against Biofilms
Biofilms have a relatively dense surface. As a result, a number of conventionally used products only have an effect on the surfaces of the biofilm. A large part of their potential “dissipates” with virtually no effect.
Sanosil disinfectants include a special stabilising feature that delays the breakdown of the hydrogen peroxide, while allowing the active ingredient to penetrate deep into the mucus structures. The bubbles of active oxygen which subsequently form inside the biofilm not only efficiently control the germs they contain, but also increase the volume inside the mucus structures.
This causes the biofilm layers to burst open and subsequently peel off, which ensures sustainable results.
No need to rinse after application
Unlike other disinfectants Sanosil does not leave any dangerous toxins behind. By using Sanosil when cleaning and disinfecting water storage tanks we are able to save up to 66% water.
But there more..
Not detrimental to wastewater and environment.
No danger of bacterial resistance.
Stable even at high water temperatures.
Does not alter the taste or smell of treated water.
Does not cause any irritation of the eyes, skin and respiratory organs.
Effectiveness and long-term effect are guaranteed even at high water temperatures.
No danger of overdosing.
Does not create any odour.
Can be stored safely up to 5 years.
We have seen first-hand the effectiveness of Sanosil in a variety of scenarios which is why we always recommend this product. Sanosil is such a versatile product and in water treatment is the only chemical which will eliminate and destroy Biofilms & VBNC (Viable but not culturable) bacteria.
We are proud to be exclusive distributors of Sanosil in Ireland.
