Enhance IAQ of Closed Spaces with Air Fumigation: ALSTASAN SILVOX 150 FUME

Chemists around the world have shown considerable interest in various aspects and working of Hydrogen Peroxide as a disinfectant at different concentration. Over the past few years, it has been observed by them that a mere 0.5% of Hydrogen Peroxide shows excellent antiviral property within 60 seconds of application, reason being a strong oxidizing agent which helps in eliminating harmful microorganisms wherever used. It oxidizes the cell molecules, rupturing its whole structure and deactivating its ability to replicate. With silver, it has relatively wider range of biocidal (anti-bacterial and anti-fungal) pursuits than other disinfecting chemicals. Since Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent and silver shows excellent anti-microbial property, their chemical combination brings a lot to the table as a rapid yet effective disinfecting agent with limited or rather no toxicity. Taking the above ideas into consideration, We at Chemtex Speciality Limited have come up with a brand n

Combat the Pandemic Outbreak with Silver Hydrogen Peroxide: ALSTASAN SILVOX

Viral infections multiply rapidly, being over communicable, and having the ability to survive on inanimate objects for prolonged durations. These surfaces can be anything, outdoors in park benches, platforms, corridors, or indoors such as counter tops, kitchen surfaces, staircases, etc. Fomites or inanimate objects forming a secondary transmission route of communicable diseases necessitate the use of surface disinfectants for an effective disinfection program. A substantial increase on the application of disinfectants has been witnessed for indoor spaces, reason being the sudden surge in the rate of virus infected people, mostly due to the transfer of microorganisms between surfaces and hosts. Not all disinfectants work! It’s important to understand these attributes: ·          Product efficacy against viruses ·          Humans and environmental impact ·          Immediate or plausible side effects Hydrogen Peroxide is an eco-friendly sanitizer, we just made it better.

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant Remember that pungent smell when mass disinfection of public places occurs. That same irritating smell you can relate to in swimming pools, and your eyes itch and redden, and your skin itches, and there is a big board saying “Chlorine in pool”, that’s hypochlorous acid, viz., when sodium hypochlorite breaks down. Sodium hypochlorite/ Hypo (NaOCl) is inorganic chlorine based liquid disinfectant, available as aqueous solutions of 5.25% - 6.15% (household bleach) or concentrated 12% NaOCl solutions. Large quantities are also used as a disinfectant in water and wastewater treatment and sanitary equipment. In food processing, sodium hypochlorite is used to sanitize food preparation equipment, in fruit and vegetable processing, mushroom production, hog, beef and poultry production, and fish processing. Typical Uses of Hypo: ·       2%: Shock Chlorination of Wells ·   3 – 6%: Household Disi

Sterilization in Hospitals

Global case studies saythat about three-fifth of people hospital admitted people get infected through communicable diseases, these are called nosocomial infections or HAI (Hospital Acquired Infections), and are avoidable . Hospitals and other healthcare units are places known for their selfless service. But, these placesare prone to some of the most infectiousdiseases with high chances of from human to human, or human to fomite to human contamination. Those involved personnel couldbe doctors, and staff, or patient. Hence, every step should be taken for their safety and precautionary measures should be opted for at regular intervals. Sterilization is a process carried out to eliminate or neutralize all forms of microbial life such as bacteria, viruses, spores, etc. from a targeted area.  Any application can be considered germs free and can be used for contact purposes if tagged Sterilized. Sterilization in hospital s is considered a regular and needfu

Wash those fomite infected hands!

What are fomites?   Inanimate objects that form a secondary route of exposure for person-to-person transmissions. Any object that we may come in contact with can serve as fomites, doorknobs, elevator buttons, hand rails, phones, cab doors, keyboards, toys, even clothing. Respiratory droplets are propelled into the air by sneezing and coughing. The aerosol generated by coughing and sneezing contain droplets of moisture of varying sizes laden with pathogens. The largest droplets are more likely to fall to the floor. Medium sized ones are more likely to enter the nasal passages of someone nearby, causing infection. The moisture in the smallest particles tends to evaporate rapidly, resulting in the formation of so-called droplet nuclei, which are light and can remain airborne for longer periods. These can travel from room to room or through ventilation ducts; owing to their small size and weight, their movement is mostly dictated by air currents, and, if inhaled, they can flow with

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,

Nano Silver Hydrogen Peroxide

Interest on chemical behavior of Nano silver has substantially grown over the years, mainly for its pursuit as an effective antimicrobial agent. Research states that silver has a relatively wider range of antibacterial and anti-fungal attributes than other metals. And, hydrogen peroxide is a deemed eco-friendly sanitizer, owing to its oxidizing attribute, aiding in the elimination of harmful microorganisms wherever used. It ruptures the total cell structure on contact, without leaving behind any traces for replication. Hydrogen Peroxide and silver manifest excellent antimicrobial properties, their chemical synergy adds a lot of value as a prompt yet effective disinfecting agent with limited toxicity . Nano Silver Hydrogen Peroxide , from its name can be understood as a combination of oxidizing hydrogen peroxide stabilized with Nano silver. Upon application, it helps out in eliminating harmful microorganisms across multiple media without any residual toxicity. Hydrogen Pero
