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).

Calcium hypochlorite is a chemical compound with formula Ca(ClO)2. It is widely used for water treatment and as a bleaching agent (bleaching powder). This chemical is considered to be relatively stable and has greater available chlorine than sodium hypochlorite(liquid bleach).Calcium hypochlorite is used for the disinfection of drinking water or swimming pool water. It is used as a sanitizer in outdoor swimming pools in combination with a cyanuric acid stabilizer, which reduces the loss of chlorine due to ultraviolet radiation. The calcium content hardens the water and tends to clog up some filters; hence, some products containing calcium hypochlorite also contain anti-scaling agents.Calcium hypochlorite is also an ingredient in bleaching powder, used for bleaching cotton and linen. It is also used in bathroom cleaners, household disinfectant sprays, moss and algae removers, and weedkillers.In addition, calcium hypochlorite may be used to manufacture chloroform.Bleaching powder is used also in sugar industry for bleaching sugar cane juice before its crystallization.
Antimony Trioxide is used mainly in fire retardant formulations for plastics, rubbers, textiles, paper and paints. Further, Antimony Trioxide can be used as an additive in glass and ceramic products and as a catalyst in the chemical industry. Occupational exposure may occur during mining, processing and smelting of antimony ores, in glass and ceramics production, and during the manufacture and use of products containing antimony trioxide. Antimony trioxide and pentoxide do not react as flame-retardants directly. Antimony Trioxide are used as synergists to enhance the activity of halogenated flame-retardants by stepwise releasing the halogenated radicals to retard gas phase chain reaction of flame spread.
Ylene GlycolMonoethylene Glycol (MEG) is a colorless, virtually odorless and slightly viscous liquid. It is miscible with water, alcohols, aldehydes and many organic compounds. MEG will not dissolve rubber, cellulose acetate or heavy vegetable and petroleum oils. MEG has a low volatility and it is 50% more hygroscopic than glycerol at room temperature.Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is the most widely used chemical from the Glycol family. It is an essential raw material for Polyester fibres and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) polymer. MEG based products are also used as coolants in Automobile antifreeze, resins, humectants for / paper etc.MEG can be transported in Epoxy coated MS tankers. It can be stored in MS containers lined with baked phenolic resin / air drying epoxy phenolic resin or vinyl resin. It is advisable to store MEG in a cool, dry place with good ventilation - away from heat, sparks or flames.Applications:1. PolyesterMono Ethylene Glycol is an essential raw material for Polyester. Ethylene Glycol reacts with PTA / to produce polyester.2. Adhesives, Sealants and CoatingsMono Ethylene Glycol and D-Ethylene Glycol is used in latex based paint formulation. These glycols are also used to produce acrylate and methacrylate resins for coatings, adhesives, and paints.3. Alkyd Resins for Paints and CoatingsMono Ethylene Glycol is used as a reactant in the manufacture of Alkyd resins which are used in Paints, enamels and varnishes.4. AntifreezeEthylene Glycol (MEG) is used as an active ingredient in engine coolants and antifreeze, offering benefits including a high boiling point, low vapor pressure, excellent heat transfer abilities, and the ability to depress the freezing point of water.5. OthersA) Dyes & InksMEG finds applications in products like Dyes & Inks for High speed printing.B) HumectantsGlycols being hygroscopic in nature are also used as Humectants for , paper etc.
