Product Description

GeoSIL is a patented chemical developed in Switzerland, and represents a new generation of Eco-harmless, safe, 100% biodegradable disinfectants suitable for the control of a full range of water borne pathogens and bacteria.

Disinfection Process

GeoSIL disinfectants use the powerful oxidising properties of hydrogen peroxide in a process that uses minute amounts of silver ions to stabilize it and boost its disinfection action. The result is a multicomponent disinfection that will destroy a broad spectrum of microorganisms, pathenogenic viruses, protozoa, bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and mould.
See - What Makes GeoSIL Different? for more information.

The unique disinfection action of GeoSIL is a three stage process.

This three stage disinfection process is why the synergistic effect of hydrogen peroxide and silver combined is up to 30 times more potent than the sum of the separate effects of the two individual components. It is also the reason why microorganisms cannot evolve a resistance to the anti microbial actions of GeoSIL, and why it does not enter into combination with other chemicals to produce unwanted disinfection by-products (DBP's).

During the disinfection process, GeoSIL decomposes into oxygen gas and water. The oxygen produced further inhibits the survival of anaerobic bacteria and microorganisms and the silver leaves an undetectable silver barrier to provide an antibacterial protective shield against bacterial recontamination.

Oxidising Power Comparison

The oxidising power of hydrogen peroxide can be illustrated by comparing its oxidising potential with that of other common disinfection chemicals.

This comparison shows the powerful oxidising ability of hydrogen peroxide compared to others such as chlorine (hypochlorous acid), chlorine gas, bromine, and iodine. Hydrogen peroxide's action is both very rapid & effective.

Competing Technologies

GeoSIL Disinfectants have been developed in response to a demand for disinfection products that are more consistent with the demands of modern environmental concerns. It is clear that disinfectants that cause high chemical risk to people and the environment will soon be deemed to be unacceptable, and the GeoSIL technology provides exciting solutions to solve these problems.
