Gramicid Silver based Hydrogen Peroxide as Multi-component Biocide - ChemEqual

Gramicid by U.S.Steriles is a complex of noble metal Silver with a highly concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide base. The H2O2 component acts as a rapid germ killing agent by mode of oxidation while elemental silver has oligo-dynamic properties on microbial level. Thus Silver H2O2 manufactured as Gramicid has a synergistic effect of disinfection and eradication of germs.

Hydrogen Peroxide with silver has a rapid and thorough disinfection over a wide temperature range. Gramicid does not have any odor, or taste or any toxic effects. It is non corrosive and does not alter the pH of the medium. Under stipulated dosage, it is non-irritant. Gramicid is an ecofriendly nonpolluting oxidizing biocide that decomposes to produce nascent oxygen as H2O2 ----->   H2O + [O]. Thus it does not produce harmful by-products on decomposition. The residual silver level is within the stipulated human exposure per person per day as directed by W.H.O thus safe for humans and animals.

Silver hydrogen peroxide based Gramicid has a wide range of applications and can easily substitute halogen, aldehyde, phenol and quats based biocides without the harmful environmental effects they cause. It has widespread application in:

In addition, Gramicid can be used as a spray fumigant for indoor air quality management, as a hand disinfectant and pre-treatment before disposal of medical wastes. Gramicid is a powerful sterilizing agent effective against bacteria, virus, fungi, algae and spores. The best feature is that microbes cannot get resistant to the biocide. When compared to other biocides, disinfectants and antiseptic solutions, Gramicid is almost 5 times more economical and environment friendly. Different application specific variants of Gramicid are also available like Gramicid-C as Cooling tower Biocide, Gramicid-E as garbage treatment chemical etc

ChemEqual is the largest online database for disinfectants and Gramicid type Silver hydrogen peroxide disinfectants can easily be found and enquired here.
