Silvox: Prime Blend of Hydrogen Peroxide, Nano Silver for Soil Treatment
Alstasan Silvox is a Silver Hydrogen Peroxide and Nano Silver based solution for comprehensive agricultural disinfection. It is designed to combat soil pathogens and ensure agricultural disinfection, Alstasan Silvox emerges as a multi-purpose, highly effective biocide for both soil and water.
This advanced solution boasts several key features, making it a preferred choice for modern sustainable farming practices. Alstasan Silvox is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic, providing a safe and eco-friendly alternative for soil treatment. It is biodegradable and does not emit any harmful impact (fume either during applicable or thereafter).
The Roles of Using Silver In Alstasan Silvox
Oligo-Dynamic Function
Silver exhibits an oligo-dynamic effect or toxicity on bacterial cells, even at relatively low concentrations. Through binding to reactive groups, silver ions denature enzymes within the target cell or organism, leading to their precipitation and subsequent inactivation. The inactivation of enzymes occurs as silver reacts with thiol groups, forming silver sulfides.
Stabilizer function
Hydrogen Peroxide is not stable which means that it decomposes to oxygen and water. To solve this problem silver is added to hydrogen peroxide as stabilizer. This stabilizer prevents the slow decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide. The Ag (2+) ions keep O (2-) ions.
Activator Function
Silver functions as an activator with a unique characteristic—it only activates peroxide when exposed to biofouling. Upon contact with microbes, silver loses its stabilizing function and triggers the release of nascent oxygen, oxidizing the exposed microbes. Once all bacteria have been oxidized by the generated active oxygen compounds, silver then acts as a stabilizer for the remaining non-reacted oxygen.
