WHAT IS AFRISAN AG+?
Afrisan AG+ +is a powerful, highly effective, broad spectrum multi-purpose disinfectant that is both stable and
is non-irritable.2
Afrisan AG+:
• Is a solution of 50%hydrogen peroxide, which is stabilised using a proprietary ionic silver based chemistry.2
• When correctly applied to water, air or any surface, Afrisan AG+ will disinfect through an oxidisation process and continue to safely provide unrivalled
A Multi-Faceted Killing Mechanism
Afrisan AG+ combines hydrogen peroxide and silver synergistically, releasing highly reactive free radicals that immediately begin to attack the cell membrane of the targeted microorganism. These weaken the cell and allow the silver ions to enter. Together, the silver and hydrogen peroxide destroy the microorganism by:
residual performance.
• Afrisan AG+ is chlorine and alcohol free, with no corrosive effects on usual materials of construction during application.2
• After use it simply degrades into harmless water and oxygen as one of the safest forms of disinfection.2
• Tasteless, colourless and odourless
• No rinsing required2
• Approved under Regulation 31 of the Water Supply (Water Quality) Regulations 2000
• Is a registered disinfectant in SA9
• Can be used in a wide range of temperatures up to 203°F (95°C)
• AFRISAN AG+can be sprayed or fogged, or used as a surface disinfectant

rapid death.
During the process, hydrogen peroxide decomposes into oxygen gas, which creates a highly toxic environment for anaerobes. This completes the active disinfection process.
APPROVED
Colloidal silver sold in health food stores and pharmacies worldwide over the past 100 years with proven health benefits. At concentrations of just 15 ppm it completely destroys Staphylococcus in 4 min, Salmonella in 7 min, Pseudomonas in 10 min, and Candida in 2 min.
The FDA has approved the usage of silver in bottled water up to a concentration of 17 ppb as a disinfectant. 4
Cleaning versus Disinfecting
Cleanliness is the number one problem for controlling the spread of infectious diseases. The typical cleaning measures used today remove only the dirt and grime from a surface, leaving the surface cleaned but not disinfected. Even after a thorough cleaning, quite often germs are left behind on surfaces; the viruses that can cause infection and illness, and the bacteria that cause odors for example. Only by using a dedicated disinfectant can you eliminate the threat you can’t see and Afrisan AG+ an effective alternative for your surface disinfecting needs.
