SILVOCID is highly effective, universally applicable disinfectants. SILVOCID
eliminates all pathogenic bacteria, amoeba, biofilms, fungi, mould, virus,
etc. without any side effects.
The two main components, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the oxidizing agent and
silver (Ag) with its powerful oligo-dynamic and catalytic effect, are
combined with stabilizers to form a complex solution.
Eco-friendly Silvocid is an excellent substitute for toxic and narrow
spectrum Halogens (Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine).
