Alstasan Silvox: Silver Hydrogen Peroxide based Disinfectant


Anything that has mass and occupies space is subjected to microbial metabolism. It’s natural but creates havoc when this activity leads to undesirable contamination of the same. Many industrial and commercial applications are prone to being a habitat of micro-organisms owing to their varied operating conditions, which becomes a matter of concern when it bears severe financial losses to the industries. Introduction of bacteria, algae, fungi in a regular or closed system, disturbing their natural operations is how a microbial contamination occurs. Mass dependency on artificial resources is the primary reason for it but also its usage cannot be avoided. So, a striking a balance between combating contaminants and minimizing harmful byproducts is important for application sustainability.

Scientists studied the deactivating effects that combination of Silver and Hydrogen Peroxide manifests and the major revelation of such combined disinfectant was about the toxicity of its components, residual effect and disinfection by product formation. Toxicity of this combination was found to be very low with prolonged residual effects and both, silver and hydrogen peroxide showed an exemplary anti-microbial performance even at lower dosage concentrations. In fact, this synergistic blend of Silver and Hydrogen Peroxide showed more cidal effects compared to other regular disinfectants in use, exhibiting an all-round microbial elimination without leaving behind any toxic residue over the application system.



Alstasan Silvox, an eco-friendly blend of hydrogen peroxide and silver, provides high efficacy in killing harmful pathogens across multiple media (viz., air, water, and surface) without leaving any kind of toxic residues on them. The key ingredients to Silver Hydrogen Peroxide include Hydrogen Peroxide which is a potent oxidizer, stabilized by the addition of antimicrobial Silver, that too in its Nano form, adhered by many inert stabilizers, and catalysts.

How does it work?

Hydrogen Peroxide is a rapid oxidizing agent which when comes in contact with wall of micro-organisms, ruptures their total internal structure, forbidding further replications. Once the microorganism is killed, the silver quickly stabilizes the activities of peroxide without allowing it to break into oxygen and water. Hydrogen Peroxide with stabilized Nano Silver exhibits excellent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, eliminating harmful micro-organisms and also prevents their further replication, owing to the presence of silver which alters the DNA structure of those micro-organism, inhibiting any kind of further reproduction. This combination provides high efficacy in killing of bacteria, fungi, algae from almost all possible applications such as soil, water, air and any hard surface.

Chemtex Speciality Limited Manufactures Silver Hydrogen Peroxide under the brand “Alstasan Silvox”, highly effective for use in various applications found in Food Processing, F&B, Brewery, Dairy, Agro, Hospitals, Pharma, Fisheries, RO, Poultry, Potable Water, Swimming Pool, Air Conditioning Ducts and Vents, Effluent Detoxification, And Other Process Industries.

The Role and Importance of Demulsifiers in Oil and Gas Industry

  Demulsifier helps to extract oil and purify water, which is especially important in crude oil production and wastewater treatment.   It is a substance that separates an emulsion into components and destabilizes water-in-oil emulsions. In Crude production, Water-in-oil emulsions are typically produced, owing to the presence of emulsifying agents such as surfactants, slits, fine solids, drilling mud, clay, water, and other impurities. These impurities are undesirable need to be removed which would otherwise shackle the quality of the crude.   How does It work? Demulsifier consists of two liquids that are not mixed with each other and tiny droplets of one liquid are evenly distributed throughout the volume of the other. This kind of liquid is called dispersion medium, and the droplets are called dispersed phase. During the demulsification process, a demulsifier accumulates on the surface of the droplets and groups them together.   The process of separating a...

What is EDTA? What are the applications of EDTA?

  E DTA or Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a weak acid used as a chelating agent. Ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid contains an amino carboxylic group with the formula C10H16N2O8. It is a versatile chemical compound with a wide range of applications across various industries. EDTA is considered an anthropogenic compound with the ability to sequester various polyvalent cations, use to minimize metal contaminants, and facilitate enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces.   How Does EDTA Work? EDTA is a versatile compound with strong chelating properties that grabs metallic cations such as lead or calcium from the process. Its chemical structure contains four carboxylic acid groups and two amine groups, which allow it to form strong bonds with metal ions, preventing them from reacting with other substances, If the bond is weak, other chemicals can break this bond to form their own compounds. EDTA is the most widely used chelating agent for the re...

Polyacrylate based Super Absorbent Polymer – Its Application & Usage

  Recently, materials science has made significant advances, with numerous applications across various industries. One such innovation that has gained enormous attention is polyacrylate-based superabsorbent polymers. They are extraordinary substances that possess the remarkable capacity to absorb and retain large quantities of liquids, which can prove vital in a variety of different sectors, right from personal care products, agriculture to medical applications and beyond. Polyacrylate based Super Absorbent Polymer is composed up of acrylic acid blended with sodium hydroxide to form a three-dimensional network structure that can absorb 300 – 400 times water and retain large amounts of liquid relative to its own weight. The ability of water retention polymer depends upon the ionic concentration of an aqueous solution.   These polymers, also known as SAP, play a crucial role in water management, moisture retention, and enhancing the efficiency of various industries. Let us...
