TECHNOLOGY AND EFFICACY

Zoono-Molecular-Layout.png

Zoono’s “physical kill” replaces the need for dangerous poisons, chemicals and alcohol. This method of rupturing the cell means the cell cannot mutate, preventing the development of superbugs.

 

Zoono is colourless, odourless, non-leaching, environmentally safe, non-corrosive and whilst completely gentle for humans and animals, it is deadly for a wide range of bacteria and mould.

​

Zoono does not contain harmful chemicals, as a liquid Zoono is less toxic than vitamin C and coffee.

When applied to a surface by spraying, wiping or ‘fogging’; Zoono leaves behind a mono-molecular layer that permanently bonds to the surface. These molecules are antimicrobial, silane based polymers that covalently bond to the surface forming a barrier of positively charged microscopic pins.

​

The positively charged microscopic pins attract and pierce negatively charged pathogens. The pins rupture the cell walls. This causes the pathogen to break up with lethal effect. The layer of molecular antimicrobial pins carries on working for up to 30 days on surfaces*.

 

Routine cleaning can continue and does not disrupt the Zoono molecule or its antimicrobial activity.

​

Note: Duration of action on skin and surfaces against COVID-19 has not been established.

SCIENCE BEHIND ZOONO

Zoono works by the formation of a molecular layer of covalently bound biocidal molecules based around silicone polymer chemistry.

​

The simplest analogy is that antimicrobial “spikes” are formed on the surface that are highly positively charged and as a result of this charge, the negatively charged molecular structure of microorganisms are attracted to the “spikes” and the cell wall and membrane is lysed; the organism is then killed and the process continues.

INGREDIENTS

Zoono products use purified, deionized water & an antimicrobial compound.

We use a Quaternary Ammonium Compound – these are commonly used antibacterial agents found in products such as toothpaste, contact lens products, cosmetics, soaps.

​

While our quaternary ammonium compound originates from natural sand the process is synthetic.

​

Our trade secret lies in the technology behind the quaternary ammonium compound which enables Zoono to stay active and continue killing pathogens for long periods of times.
