How does Shield NANOZONE Antimicrobial technology work?
The active ingredients in NANOZONE antimicrobial form a colorless, odorless, positively charged polymer molecule swords like structure which is chemically bonded to the treated surface. When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the positively charged polymer molecule swords puncture the cell membrane electrocutes microbe cell. Because nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the NANOZONE doesn't lose strength and the sword is ready for the next cell to contact it.
What is NANOZONE base product compound?
The NANOZONE is Graphene nanoscrolls based nano coating. It's active ingredient is an organo functional inorganic compound of positively charged polyatomic ions. Unlike traditional products, which have a limited kill spectrum, the NANOZONE technology provides long-term protection and controls a wide range of microorganisms including bacteria, virus, fungus, algae, mold etc. for a very long of period of time due to strong covalent surface bonding and non migratory mechanism.
Difference between the NANOZONE and other antimicrobials on the market?
Conventional products penetrate living cells and kill by way of poisoning the organism. The NANOZONE technology not only provides an effective initial microbial kill when applied, but it also provides long-term control of growth on treated surfaces, often for the life of that surface. The surface itself is modified to make it antimicrobially active.
What are Mold Dangers?
Mold spores are always in the air ready to colonize upon a surface and grow in mass numbers comfortably in temperatures from 0 to 100°. In lower temperatures mold can become dormant - but still survive. Sensitivity to mold is a significant cause of allergic diseases e.g. arthritic-like ache, asthma, bloody noses, chronic headaches, coughing “crawly” feeling skin, depression, dizziness, stuffiness, epileptic-like seizures, fatigue, equilibrium or balance loss, flu-like symptoms, lung irritation, loss of memory, irritation of the eyes, nose or throat, loss of hearing, loss of eyesight, nausea, restlessness, runny nose, sinus congestion, skin rashes, sneezing, trouble breathing, unexplained irritability, upper respiratory distress, bronco pulmonary mycoses, sinusitis, hypersensitivity and pneumonitis. The NANOZONE technology works universally on most effective manner against almost all types of bacteria and viruses, fungus, algae and mold.
Does the NANOZONE technology use a health hazard or heavy metal?
NO. The NANOZONE does NOT contain any kind of heavy metals like Tin, arsenic, silver and copper, often used in other antimicrobials. Since the antimicrobial is permanently bound to the surfaces it protects, it does not leach from the surface to the skin or into the environment. In fact, NANOZONE is so safe that it is also used on baby nappies to prevent nappy rash.
How long does the NANOZONE treatment last?
Since the cured NANOZONE antimicrobial is nonvolatile, insoluble, and non - leaching, provides protection against re-growth and future contamination on treated surfaces, the treatment should last for the life of the treated surface. It should also withstand minimum 30 (max 50) washes / drycleans. Abrasive or caustic and hard detergent cleaner (with pH>10.5) will shorten effective life. Porous surfaces which are contaminated below the treated surface will occasionally experience some growth which breaks through a treated surface.
