Sanosil

Sanosil logoQED Occtech is the exclusive Australian distributor for the "Sanosil" range of products. Sanosil is a revolutionary disinfectant developed by Sanosil Ltd of Switzerland over 25 years ago. The product has multiple applications in the Australian market that are currently being developed. This marketing development includes the granting of many valuable Australian approvals including:

  • Australian Drinking Water Approval (National Health & Medical Research Council).
  • Pesticide Approval.
  • Pool & Spa Sanitiser Approval (Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority).

Sanosil is a multi component disinfectant. The oxidizing 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 which 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.

  • 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 various products were necessary.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Sanosil is especially effective to prevent a recontamination of the water with bacteria and viruses.
  • Sanosil 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.
  • The two basic substances (H2O2 and Ag) enhance their advantages. The bactericidal effect comes into action quicker and more intensively than if either substance was used on its own.
  • The combined effects of oxidisation and oligodynamy have created a two-phased product which - in opposition to other disinfectants - is capable of destroying biofilms. A process which is important in destroying viruses and bacteria that create so-called biofilms as a natural protection. The oxygen separated from hydrogen peroxide destroys the biofilm, thus enabling the silver to destroy the bacteria or virus.
