Silver Hydrogen PeroxideEco-friendly Disinfectant

Silver Hydrogen Peroxide: Introduction

Silver Hydrogen Peroxide or Hydrogen Peroxide and Silver has earned its name as universal eco-friendly disinfectant, where silver functions both as stabilizer and activator. The resultant silver hydrogen peroxide is both safe and nontoxic for people and surroundings.

This synergy of hydrogen peroxide and silver provides high efficacy in killing of microorganisms in all possible media applications of air, water, surface, and soil. It is powerful antibiotic, fungicide, virucide, amoebicide, algaecide, which chips away at a wide range of microorganisms.

Hydrogen Peroxide is highly unstable, causing the molecule to break along the oxygen-oxygen bond, releasing free hydroxyl radicals (OH) that serve to oxidize organic matter. The oxidizing hydrogen peroxide is corrosive on the cell membranes and inner cellular structures; then silver being non mutagenic in nature consequently changes the DNA structure, rendering them incapable of replication.

It finds application as a disinfectant in fields of agriculture, food and beverage industries, operation theatres and many others where it is essential to maintain a safe hygiene.

This combination of hydrogen peroxide and silver is about twenty times more powerful than hydrogen peroxide alone.

Hydrogen Peroxide tends to breakdown into water and oxygen, and as such poses no such environmental hazard. (EPA, 2002)

Applications of Silver Hydrogen Peroxide can be categorized as

• Air Fumigation• Soil Disinfection• Water Disinfection• Surface Sanitation

Few of the noted applications include the following:

Soil Disinfection

Pre-plantation soil fumigation with this product helps in effective soil sterilization, killing most soil microorganisms and persistent nematodes.

Soil Disinfection with drip and drench methods are another way of soil application, effective mostly on fungal complexes that are hard to cure otherwise. The multipurpose nature of this product works cleaning the pipelines too apart from being a soil disinfectant.

Curative treatments include washing of the produce to rinse off pesticide residues, dipping seeds, etc. Customary soil disinfection incorporates the use of steam, or chemicals like formalin, which needs time and other chemicals for its harmful impacts to chip off. They are generally unstable, with noted carcinogenic and phytotoxic effect. It also requires water rinsing, and at least 3 weeks between fumigation and plantation.

Dairy Disinfectant

Dairy items conveyed under unhygienic or unsuitable conditions have increased microbial tainting. Sanitation hones in diminishing the rate of bacterial growth and development, and disinfection significantly lessens the amount of sullied milk that finally reaches the consumers.

The essential disinfectants of the two concerned organizations are inspected in relationship to the cleaning and cleansing techniques i.e. for CIP, open surfaces, environmental zones with setting illustrations for specific hygienic plants.

Dairy Disinfectant addresses the concerned areas of a cowshed preventing major cow diseases like Calf Pneumonia, Coccidiosis, Ulcerative mammillitis, Cowpox, etc.

Aquaculture Disinfectant

Silver Hydrogen Peroxide is fully miscible in water, and has good control over dilution. Diluted in water at an effective concentration, it helps treat bacterial ulcers, gill diseases, etc. Aquaculture disinfectant should be adaptable to guarantee the best well-being and cleanliness status.

Application areas of an aquaculture disinfectant include treatment of water, fish tanks and equipment sanitation, fish handling plants and surrounding areas, fish egg incubator, well vessel cleansing, vehicle cleansing, etc. Multipurpose nature of this product greatly enhances effectiveness over different media, be it water, surfaces, or environments.

Poultry Disinfectant

Conditions in poultry sheds turn unhygienic, allowing multiplication of illnesses, for example, Salmonella, E. coli and Campylobacter. An efficient disinfection program is necessary for poultry bio-security program. The season of disinfection must be after de-populating the old chickens and entry of the new ones. The primary reason for the sanitation program still is the decrease of the quantity of pathogens. Reducing the pathogen numbers decrease the chances of disease occurrence.

The most widely recognized sorts of poultry disinfectant incorporate chemicals consisting halogens, alcohols, oxidizers, phenols, aldehydes, QACs. A poultry disinfectant demolishes pathogens, and cleans the same. A more extensive range of purification incorporates the utilization of pesticides for disposing of ailment spreading vectors, sterilization, and sanitation of defiled surfaces.

Sterilization in Hospitals

Sterilization in Hospitals or cleaning areas require special sanitizing measures as they manage patients, each with a different infectious disease, and the staff taking care of them is exposed to the same. Everybody included is presented to a higher danger of disease; require more convenient and productive cleaning instruments.

Multipurpose disinfectant which wears down a sweeping scope of microorganisms, hydrogen peroxide and silver has the tremendously required limits of sanitizing air, water and surface. FDA has endorsed 7.5% hydrogen peroxide for sterilization in hospitals.

Waste water Sanitation

Typical sewage constitutes 95% water, rest 5% being pathogens, human wastes, inorganic particles, solids particulates, broken up gases, emulsions like paints, lethal substances like pesticides, medical or bio waste, bio-solids, and some more.

Sanitization is generally done at the oxidation tanks where dangerous sulphide and cyanide are detoxified. Typical waste water sanitation is finished with chlorine requiring another de-chlorination tank. The second period of purification is done at the improvement tanks, with a little amount left in the surge to avert re-contamination in the process, guaranteeing complete waste water sanitation. Waste water sanitation systems is every now and again incorporated with treatment plant outline, yet not adequately rehearsed, due to the high cost of chlorine, or reduced power of UV where the water is not adequately clear or free of particles.

Water Sanitation

Water is the most important constituent for our survival, and it cannot be substituted, in this way its utilization or use must not jeopardize the well being of living species. Most waterborne sicknesses like typhoid, cholera, enteritis, and so forth, are a result by microbial contamination, requiring quick water sanitation to deal with the same.

Only 0.5% of water accessible is fit for drinking purposes, subsequently it must be very much molded to keep away from hygienic issues. Swimming pools harbour plenty of toxic natural by products discharged from swimmers by the blend of sweat, dandruff, and urine. Cooling towers give a perfect domain to the development and hatching of numerous living beings, including the Legionella bacteria.

All these areas converge into one need i.e., hassle free effective water sanitation.

There are many more applications of Silver Hydrogen Peroxide. Some special mentions are as follows

Cocopeat Sterilization

Kidney Dialysis Unit Disinfection

Paper Slimicide

Packaged Drinking Water Sanitation

Swimming Pool Disinfection

Why choose Silver Hydrogen Peroxide?

• Cold Sterilant (Requires no heat for disinfection)• Effective over a wide range of microorganisms at a very low

concentration• Owing to its non foaming nature, it can be used both as a

cleaner and disinfectant• Eco-friendly and biodegradable into water and oxygen (2H2O2

→ 2H2O + O2)• Odourless, colourless product• Non tainting and non-staining in nature • Proven non carcinogenic in nature (unlike formalin)• Non mutagenic, with no development of microbial resistance• Does not emit harmful fumes (unlike formalin, chlorine,

bromine, and other aldehydes• No water rinsing required after use• Broad Spectrum (Effective on a wide range of microorganisms)• Silver ions present give an additional benefit of bacteria-stat• Multimedia sanitation (Air, Water, Soil, and Surface)

• Stable over a wide pH and temperature range• Ensures rapid sterilization unlike the traditional methods• Does not change/ alter the physical properties of a medium• Does not induce any smell and taste to the medium• Non flammable, minimizing transportation and storage
