2. Antimicrobial, Disinfectant, Biocide, Sterilant, Biostatic and Odor
Eliminator
It is patented and EPA registered to inhibit the growth of fungi and
bacteria.
Is based on advanced silane chemistry : the organo silane technology
is proven to be very effective, following 30 years of development.
Traditional antimicrobials provide short-term kill of microorganisms.
Unlike disinfectants, sanitizers and bleaches, the water based
Saniguard-Active forms a molecular bond to surface. The molecule
disrupts the cell membranes of harmful fungi and
bacteria, inhibiting, reducing and providing long-term, residual kill.
It can produce a durable, non-migrating antimicrobial finish to a wide
range of textiles. SANIGUARD-Active can form an invisible and
durable micro-biostatic coating on a broad range of hard surfaces.
The physical, rather than chemical, mode of action of SANIGUARD-
Active does not affect normal skin flora, does not lose strength with
use and does not promote adaptative organisms (super bugs)

4. Antimicrobial strategies in cleanroom environments
with “Saniguard-Active”
The cleanroom and cleanroom-garment industries are challenged by the presence of
microorganisms and the negative effects they cause. Deterioration, defacement and
odors are dramatic effects that can occur as a result of the microbial contamination
of woven, nonwoven, composite fabrics, and building surfaces. These cleanroom
elements act as “harbors” and transfer routes, offering ideal environments for
medically significant microorganisms and those that cause problems in process
equipment and products. The ability to make textiles and environmental surfaces
resistant to microbial contamination has advantages in many applications and
market segments.
Cleanroom managers must possess a reaction plan for avoidance and control of
airborne, human, and surface-sourced microbial contaminants. Strategies for
control of microbes must include garments, beddings, linens, wipes, surgical fabrics,
and other textiles used in cleanroom operations, construction materials and
operating systems.

5. The term antimicrobial refers to a broad range of technologies that
provide products and buildings with varying degrees of protection
against microorganisms. This control reduces or eliminates the
problems that microbes can cause, such as deterioration, staining,
odor, product cross-contamination, and health concerns.
Antimicrobials are very different in their chemical nature, mode of
action, impact on people and the environment, in-plant-handling
characteristics, durability on various substrates, costs, and how they
interact with good and bad microorganisms. Antimicrobial strategies
for bad organisms must include ensuring that non target organisms
are not affected or that adaptation of microorganisms is not
encouraged.
Antimicrobials primarily function in two ways. The conventional
leaching type of antimicrobial leaves the treated surface and
chemically enters or reacts with the microorganism, acting as a
poison. The unconventional bound antimicrobial stays affixed to the
treated surface and, on a molecular scale, physically stabs and
electrocutes the microorganism on contact to kill it. Like an arrow
shot from a bow or bullet shot from a gun, leaching antimicrobials are
often effective, but are depleted in the process of working, wasted in
random misses, or are compromised by other chemicals.

6. Mould, mildew, bacteria, fungi, yeasts. Visible and invisible, beneficial and deadly - but always present.
The Saniguard-Active provides safe, effective solutions to microbial contamination in the indoor
environment.
Enviroperfect can assess and solve existing problems (even after flooding and other catastrophic
events) or can effectively prevent problems from happening.
The key is the unique Saniguard-Active Antimicrobial technology. In contrast to the conventional
weapons you use in the unending battle with microbial contamination (sanitizers, disinfectants,
bleach and biocides), it is odourless, effective, durable and professionally applied.
Microorganisms, their body parts, metabolic products, and reproductive parts, cause multiple
problems to building materials and furnishings. They are human irritants, sensitizers, toxic -response
agents, causers of disease, and simple discomforting agents. Clearly, microorganisms are the most
potent pollutants in the indoor environment, on our clothes, and on our furnishings.
The medical impact of microorganisms on an individual depends on genetic heritage, general health,
and the physical and mental stress factors in the person's life. Work or other psychological pressures,
diet, weather patterns, and environmental pollutants, contribute to the severity of human reactions.
For people with a predisposition for respiratory problems - the infirm, elderly, babies, people
recuperating from illness, and those being treated with
Antimicrobial strategies in cleanroom environments with
“Saniguard-Active”

7.  Dramatically reduce mould, mildew and bacteria levels on treated surfaces and in
the indoor environment and keep low levels up to 2 years.
 Significantly reduce the need to replace water damaged carpeting, ceiling tiles,
furnishings and building materials.
 Control growth of microbial contamination in areas which have been exposed to
flooding or high moisture conditions.
 Control the odours, damage and deterioration typically caused by microbial growth.
 Lessen the risk of airborne and surface microbial contamination spreading
throughout a building and triggering serious human health responses.
 Save you thousands of dollars in restoration costs after catastrophic events such as
hurricanes, flooding or building failures.

8. If you exclude the problem buildings which have specific chemical problems like
asbestos, radon, exhaust fumes, or infiltration of some toxic material and illness like
Legionnaires' Disease, the human symptoms are remarkably consistent -
headaches, sore eyes, congestion, sinus problems, sore throat, drowsiness.
These symptoms are not identifiable to any single pollutant - either chemical or
microbial.
The logical conclusion is that the bulk of building problems result from human reaction
to the total contaminated load in the building.
Just as the human immune system provides resistance to disease only until it is
overwhelmed by the combined bacterial and fungal insult level, it resists reaction to
airborne contaminants only until it is overwhelmed by the total contaminant level

9. If the total contaminant level is significantly lowered, the so-called "sick building
symptoms" tend to disappear. The rate of disappearance depends on the individual
sensitivities of the inhabitants.
This phenomenon is clearly seen when we compare a building treated with the
Saniguard-Active vs. a building with the HVAC system modified to greatly increase the
amount of "fresh air". The difference is that the saniguard-Active Solution removes the
sources of contamination and lasts for a very long time, but the HVAC solution does
nothing to eliminate the sources - consequently the problems are likely to return as
microbial contamination continues to bloom. AND there is no comparison in the costs
of the two solutions!

10. The active ingredient in the Saniguard-Active forms a colorless, odorless, positively
charged polymer that molecularly bonds to the treated surface. You could think of it as a
layer of electrically charged swords. When a microorganism comes in contact with the
treated surface, the C-18 molecular sword punctures the cell membrane and the
electrical charge shocks the cell. Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the
antimicrobial doesn't lose strength and the sword is ready for the next cell to contact it.
Since Saniguard-Active chemically bonds to the application surfaces, it cannot diffuse or
migrate once it has been professionally applied and has dried. It is uniquely different
from most other antimicrobials in that it is only effective against single-celled organisms.
Since it doesn't dissipate, it minimizes or eliminates the potential for micro-organisms to
adapt or build up a tolerance and become resistant. It acts by rupturing the cell
membrane - not by poisoning. Almost all other antimicrobials, sanitizers and
disinfectants are designed to diffuse and be absorbed. Once absorbed, they act by
poisoning or causing fatal mutations. As they diffuse, they lose strength and adaptation
can and does occur.
The durability of Saniguard-Active has been extensively tested. Treated surfaces will remain
antimicrobially active for at least one year and up to three with follow-up service (we even
guarantee that it will). Effectiveness in controlling airborne microbial pollution depends on the
extent of the surfaces treated, the effectiveness of cleaning prior to treatment and the amount
of growth which has occurred inside of materials before treatment. In fact, the Saniguard-
Active treatment will normally last the life of the surface treated for surfaces not subject to
wear.

11. Although no material is truly "non-toxic", Saniguard-Active Antimicrobial has a long and
extraordinary record of safe use and application. It has been used in thousands of buildings
- offices, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, industrial sites, labs, homes, etc. and has been
registered for and regularly applied to carpeting, hosiery, undergarments, hospital gowns,
surgical drapes, mattress covers and many other items.
The Saniguard-Active is a precise application process custom designed to your building to
achieve a complete surface treatment of contaminated materials or potential growth areas.
The antimicrobial is normally spray applied in a dilute water solution. Since it only acts on
contact with organisms, it is essential that a complete treatment be made. After flooding or
other catastrophic situations, the program should be implemented as soon as cleaning has
been completed and the drying process has begun. It is not necessary to have the area
completely dry for effective treatment. Building areas close to flooded or water damaged
sections should be treated immediately to deter the growth of fungi, bacteria and organisms
which are encouraged by high humidity and which can cause serious human health problems.

12. The chemical bonding causes the treated surfaces themselves to become antimicrobially active
--- not just surfaces from which an antimicrobial leaches or volatilizes.
On direct contact with a microorganism, the technology works by disrupting (or rupturing) the
cell membrane. This interrupts the normal life process and destroys the cell. The interruption
is caused by two forces --- the long chain chemical component and the positively charged
nitrogen component. The first can be compared to a "sword", the second to "electrocution".
Like a "sword", the strength of Saniguard Active Antimicrobial is not used up or diminished
when it acts.
It can be used over and over again. Conventional antimicrobials are absorbed and are more like
"bullets". With each use, some of the ammunition store is used up and effectiveness
diminishes.

13. The unique bonding and killing capacity of Saniguard-Active, with its one-two punch,
allows it to effectively control bacteria, fungi (mold, mildew and yeast), algae and other one
celled organisms, as well as some viruses.
Because it acts only on the membrane and does not lose strength over time, it doesn't
create the conditions which allow microorganisms to adapt to its presence or develop
resistance. As conventional antimicrobials gradually lose strength, new, resistant
microorganisms can develop.

14. SANIGUARD-Active : Mode of action
Part I : The first part of the molecule is the silane base. This silane base is the antimicrobial
anchor. The antimicrobial is anchored by covalent bonds which are formed gradually through
hydrolysis reactions that bond the antimicrobial permanently to almost any surfaces and allow for
crosslinking and polymerisation with other molecules.
Part II : The second part of the molecule is the centrally located positively charged nitrogen. It
plays an important role in the active nature of the antimicrobial. Some membranes of microbes
are negatively charged; when in close proximity, the microbes are drawn into the active surface of
the antimicrobial and
Part III : The third segment is the edge that leads to blow in the offending microbes. This long
molecular chain acts like a sword that punctures the cell membranes of all microbes coming in
contact with it.

15. When a microorganism comes in contact with the
treated surface, the C-18 molecular sword punctures
the cell membrane and the electrical charge shocks
the cell. As the microbe is further drawn into the
antimicrobial, it is electrocuted
Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the
antimicrobial doesn’t lose strength and the sword is
ready for the next cell to contact it. The active layer
remains intact, efficacious and ready for the next
cell that approaches.

16. Summary
When the antimicrobial is bonded to the surface of an object, it is ready for defense.
As the microbes come into contact with the “antimicrobial” surface, they are first punctured by
the long molecular chain.
The “positive-negative” attraction in between the positively charged nitrogen and the negative
cell membrane draw the microorganism even further down on the sword.
This modified cell can end the life of a microbe but the end point is the contact between the
negative and the positive charges : the cell membrane is electrocuted and blown apart delivering
inescapable kill
In addition, since this process transfers nothing from the antimicrobial to the cell, the
antimicrobial stands ready for the next “wave” and can continue to work at full strength and
definitely.

17. Applied in a single stage of the wet finish process, the attachment of SANIGUARD-
Active to surfaces involves two means.
First and the most important is a very rapid process, which coats the substrate
(fabric, fiber, etc), with the cationic species (physics sorption) one molecule deep.
This is an ion exchange process by which the cation of the silane quaternary
ammonium compound replaces protons from water or chemicals on the surface.
The second mechanism is unique to materials such as silane quaternary
ammonium compounds. In this case, the silanol allows for covalent bonding to
receptive surfaces to occur (chemisorptions). This bonding is then made even
more durable by the silanol functionality, which enables them to homopolymerize.
After they have coated the surface in this manner, they become virtually
irremovable, even on surfaces with which they cannot react covalently.

18. 3. Treated surface
We have 2 reactions:
1. The product forms a molecular BOND to any fabric
2. Product forms a film : crosslinking of the product
1. Molecule used in SANIGUARD-Active
2. Surface view

19. For Soft Furnishing:
The Saniguard-Active is applied in aqueous solution and can be
inserted into almost any wet process during manufacturing at the
mill. They can also be applied to finished goods. The antimicrobial is
easily integrated into most jet, pad, and batch processes. The
antimicrobial is cationic so it mixes well with other cationic and
nonionic finishes (most softeners) and performs well in the same bath.
For Hard surfaces: It can be treated on any hard surfaces by either
fogging, wipe down, soaking or paint rolling on the target substrate.
How is the treatment applied?

20. Conventional products penetrate living cells and kill by way of poisoning the organism or
disrupting a vital life process. They are designed to act quickly and dissipate quickly. Most
commercial antimicrobials used for treating surfaces do an adequate job of killing bacteria and
fungi, although most have a limited range of effectiveness.
The Saniguard-Active technology takes a totally unique approach. It provides an effective
initial microbial kill when applied, but, unlike the conventional methods, 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.
Almost all other treatments
(antimicrobials, fungicides, insecticides, disinfectants, sanitizers, etc.) act by volatilising into the
air or dissolving in a liquid. Then the active ingredient is dissipated rapidly or over a period of
time - but all have a relatively short effective life. Once inside the organism, the material acts
either by poisoning the organism or by promoting lethal mutation.
Since saniguard-Active does not dissipate, the organism does not absorb it. Instead it acts by
rupturing the cell wall of the organism - when the organism comes into DIRECT contact with
the antimicrobial.
In theory, saniguard-Active becomes a permanent part of any application surface and will
continue to be fully effective permanently. In effect, it alters the application surface to make it
permanently antimicrobial.

26. SANIGUARD-Active on FILTER
Air filters:
Air filters are part of the front-line for dealing with microbial problems in our modern buildings.
Upgrading efficiency of air filters by adding a durable, safe and effective antimicrobial treatment can
protect the air filter from abnormal fungal growth and improve the air quality of our buildings.
With the proper choice of an antimicrobial agent applied to air filtration media, you can prohibit the
growth of microbes on filter surfaces, reduce the number of microbial cells in the air stream, and
reduce microbes in the indoor environment. Microbiological pollutants, as sources of
irritants, sensitizers, discomforting products, toxicants and as disease causing agents, have
enormous consequences on human productivity, comfort, health, and general well being.
This fact clearly links microbes to the cause, effect, and remedy equation needed for establishing and
maintaining indoor environmental quality. Air purification systems.
Automobiles. Re-circulating air handling systems. Vacuum cleaner filters. Aquariums.
Provides an invisible durable microbiostatic coating on most substrates from a water-based system.
Inhibits the growth of odor causing bacteria.
Prevents the growth of mold/mildew and algae.
Is compatible with many processes and conditions, including pH from 3 to 10.
Attacks malodors at their source to prevent decay.
Can be incorporated into the manufacture of a wide variety of materials, providing extended life and
usefulness to many products.

27. Hospitals continue to struggle to prevent dangerous infections caused by bacteria such as
MRSA, and others. Although hospital staff wipes down parts of the hospital rooms with
disinfectants, the dangerous bacteria remain present in hospitals.
Areas that are sometimes overlooked in a hospital are furnishings within offices, as well
as reception and waiting areas.
Even offices outside of a hospital or healthcare facility are prone to harbor bacteria and
therefore Would benefit from being disinfected. Most common
disinfectants, however, only kill bacteria present on an article at the time the disinfectant
is applied, and thus such treatment is ineffective in preventing bacteria from
subsequently collecting on the article.
SANIGUARD-Active in Hospital

28. The medical industry is challenged by the presence of microorganisms and the negative effects they
cause. Deterioration, defacement and odors are all dramatic effects which occur from the microbial
contamination of surfaces as varied as carpeting and medical non-woven fabrics. These surfaces can
also act as a microbial "harbor," as most offer ideal environments for the proliferation of
microorganisms that are harmful to buildings, textiles and humans. The ability to make surfaces
resistant to microbial contamination has advantages in many applications and market segments.
This is especially true in medical markets where many products have contributed a degree of aseptic
sophistication beyond that required of consumer products.
Textiles (wovens, nonwovens, and composite fabrics), soft goods, equipment, and indoor hard
surfaces used in a medical environment have unique microbial problems and their control is a
complex chemical, physical, and microbiological task. The microbiological integrity of medical
textiles and surfaces has been the object of numerous studies ranging from the sterilization of
nonwovens to the evaluation of the barrier properties of engineered fabric. Test data generated
generally support the fact that these materials contribute positively to the reduction of
microorganisms in the medical environment. This contribution has been part of the medical
community’s awareness of the benefits of and the actions aimed at improving the hygienic nature of
their environment as they take steps towards asepsis.
SANIGUARD-Active in Hospital

29. Mold spores are always in the air ready to colonize upon a
surface and grow in mass numbers.
It can grow comfortably in temperatures from 0 to 100
degrees Fahrenheit. In lower temperatures mold can
become dormant - but still survive.
Sensitivity to mold is a significant cause of allergic
diseases. These include allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis,
bronchopulmonary mycoses, sinusitis hypersensitivity
and pneumonitis. Black Mold can cause serious asthma
attacks and studies have linked mold to the tripling
asthma rate over the past 20 years.
The active ingredient in saniguard-Active forms a
colorless, odorless, positively charged polymer, which
chemically bonds to the treated surface. When a
microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface,
the quaternary amine sword punctures the cell membrane
and the electrical charge shocks the cell. Because nothing
is transferred to the now dead cell, the antimicrobial
doesn’t lose strength and the sword is ready for the next
cell to contact it.
SANIGUARD-Active in Hospital

30. A wide array of uses has led such materials into end uses where microbiological problems are no
longer simply questions of bio-deterioration. The problems caused by microorganisms in these
uses have extended the needs of antimicrobial treatments to controlling organisms that cause
unsightly staining, odors, and reduction of organisms such that the fabrics are not considered
harbors or transmission substrates for infectious organisms.
In order to understand microorganisms and their impact on medical materials, we must
understand the uses and abuses of these materials. Just as the end-use is different for each article,
the potential for microbial contamination and the ability to control this contamination are very
different. Specific fabrics are designed for different end-uses.
The Saniguard-Active treatment on woven and nonwoven medical goods, carpeting, textile
building materials, and as a broadcast treatment throughout the hospitals has been laboratory
and field tested on a wide variety of materials and has proven utility as a broad spectrum
antimicrobial.
SANIGUARD-Active in Hospital

31. Antimicrobial Surface with saniguard-Active:
An antimicrobial surface contains an antimicrobial that inhibits or reduces the ability of
microorganism to grow on the surface of a material. Such surfaces are becoming more widely
investigated for possible use in various settings including clinics, industry, and even the home.
he most common and most important use of antimicrobial coatings has been in the healthcare
setting for sterilization of medical devices to prevent hospital associated infections.
In addition to medical devices, linens and clothing can provide a suitable environment for
many bacteria, fungi , and viruses to grow when in contact with the human body which allows
for the transmission of infectious disease
Viral Inhibitors
Viruses are mainly spread from person to person through airborne droplets produced while
coughing or sneezing.
However, the viruses can also be transmitted when a person touches respiratory droplets
settled on an object or surface. It is during this stage that an antiviral surface could play the
biggest role in cutting down on the spread of a virus.
SANIGUARD-Active in Hospital

32. SANIGUARD-Active in Hospital
Surgical/Medical Nonwovens:
Clinical studies have shown that nonwoven fabrics are superior to woven fabrics in control of
postoperative infections. These findings have led to major acceptance of nonwovens in the health
care industry. In the U.S.A. a variety of the surgical nonwovens being produced are antimicrobial
agents treated to provide an even greater reduction of risk of postoperative infection. Products being
marketed include surgical drapes, instrument wraps, Mayo stand covers, and surgical packs.
Products with the added antimicrobial treatment are finding excellent acceptance by the medical
community. Saniguard-Active antimicrobial agent treated fabrics show that microorganisms, which
contact the surface, are rapidly killed.
In the surgical arena, contact of the treated nonwoven with body and irrigation fluids is a frequent
occurrence. Saniguard-Active treated surface maintains antimicrobial activity against potentially
pathogenic microorganisms in the presence of body and irrigation fluids.
In the hospital environment concerns relating to adaptation of microorganisms to antimicrobial
agents have resulted in routine changes in sanitizer/disinfectant agents by the infection control staff.
This is done to reduce the potential for adaptation. Fabrics treated with Saniguard-Active have not
shown the potential for adaptation
Added performance and value have also been shown on saniguard-Active treated
bandages, sponges, surgical masks, and gowns. Benefits of reduced infectious organisms and a more
hygienic surface are clearly realized.

33. Mattress Pad:
Microbial odors are associated with mattress pads as a
result of the degradation of perspiration, dead skin and
organic matter. These problems are persistent because
laundering of the mattress pad is done less frequently
than the sheeting or other bedding materials. The major
organisms associated with mattress pads are the fungal
organisms, but bacteria may cause problems under special
conditions.
Composition of the mattress pads consists of a mixture of
woven and nonwoven fabrics. Testing both the nonwoven
and woven fabrics is required to ensure performance and
wash durability.
Saniguard-Active treated Mattress pad can overcome the
said problem.
