Thanks to the presence of two disinfecting agents within the product, hydrogen peroxide and silver cations, Sterusil® has a bi-disinfecting action synthesized in the principle diagram here below:
Principle diagram of disinfectant action of Sterusil®
The actions mechanisms of STERINIS are:
1) Oxidizing action of hydrogen peroxide, involving:
- An oxidation of the lipidic structures of the membrane.
- A production of hypochlorites and radical hydroxyls.
- A deterioration of ribosomes and DNA per cytoplasmic penetration.
2) Cationic action of Ag+, involving:
- A membrane polarity inversion with embrittlement.
- A formation of membrane attack complexes with the membrane proteins.
- A deterioration of the cytoplasmic protein enzymes.
These two combined and synergistic actions lead to the micro-organism lysis.
