Who invented QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG and its combination of Hydrogen Peroxide and Silver, and How?

In 1999, an innovative young Scientist D.Mukherjee, who would go on to be the CEO of Quachem, noticed that there were very few organized soil seed crop disinfection methods and products on the market and that all of the available products had serious drawbacks. They were either very short-lived (chlorine, bromine, or ozone) or very harmful to the environment, human life, animals and above all for crop seed soil (chromium, isothiazolinone, or QACs).

It would fantastic if someone could create a fast-acting, environmentally friendly soil seed crop disinfectant with long-lasting effects. Although combining hydrogen peroxide and silver is not a new idea, no-one had ever managed to combine the two without them sooner or later breaking each other down.

With the aid of countless attempts and the generous support of a former mentor and chemistry professor at the University, he finally managed for the first time to produce a solution which was and remained stable. QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG was born. After a lengthy odyssey of approval processes by the required approval authorities, trademark offices and expert laboratories, He established the Quachem and world got QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG.

1. EFFICACY : Hydrogen peroxide and silver: mechanisms of action

1A) What is the Oligodynamic Effect?

The oligodynamic effect was first recognized more than 150 years ago and refers to the fact that some metal ions kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. This effect can be observed at extremely low doses. Metals which exhibit the oligodynamic effect include mercury, silver, copper, brass, bronze, tin, iron, lead and bismuth.
Of all metals, the strongest effect is exerted by mercury and silver.

1B) Why and How Silver acts as a Biocide?

Silver has 3 different mechanisms of action

Metal ions affect cell membrane permeability. This weakens sensitive micro-organisms and makes them enormously more sensitive to oxidizing biocides.

Silver binds to sulphur bridges in proteins, disrupting microorganism enzyme activity. (Silver forms a sulphide with thiol groups and reacts with amino and car-boxy groups on enzymes, inactivating them.) This limits the cell’s ability to generate energy, with the result that they ‘starve’ to death.

Silver forms complexes with micro organismal genetic material (DNA and RNA), disrupting reproduction. Reproduction is inhibited or arrested completely.

1C) What is Hydrogen Peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound consisting of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. It was discovered over 200 years ago. It has the chemical formula H2O2. When it decomposes, hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).

1D) How does Hydrogen Peroxide act as a seed soil crop Disinfectant?

Hydrogen peroxide readily decomposes, especially in contact with organic material. This produces highly reactive, short-lived atomic oxygen. This reacts with and attacks the surface of microorganisms.

1E) Why is it useful to combine Hydrogen Peroxide with Silver?

Oligodynamic effects take some time to kick in and are not equally effectively against all micro-organisms. Silver therefore primarily exerts a long-lasting, preservative, bacteriostatic effect.

Higher doses of silver do not necessarily work faster or better. One option, therefore, is to enhance the biocidal effect of silver by using it in combination with other substances.

In combination with oxidizing substances such as hydrogen peroxide, the effects are synergistic, producing a highly effective biocidal complex.

2. Health Considerations :

2A) Is Silver a Heavy Metal?

The term ‘heavy metal’ is generally used to refer to a group of metals with densities greater than 5.0 g/cm3. Under this definition, silver, which has a density of 10.49 g/cm3, is indeed a heavy metal – as are iron (7.9 g/cm3), nickel (8.9 g/cm3), copper (8.9 g/cm3) and gold (19.32 g/cm3).

Heavy metals which are particularly resistant to corrosion are known as noble metals. These include gold, silver and platinum group metals.

It is their corrosion resistance and lack of reactivity that makes noble metals suitable for use in jewellery and dental implants.

(Fun fact: artificial joints, catheters and plates for broken bones are coated with silver to inhibit bacterial growth.)


2B) Is Silver Toxic?

Like almost everything else in this world (salt, alcohol, water, Big Macs, etc.) silver is not completely ‘non-toxic’. “The dose makes the poison,” as the famous pharmaceutical saying goes.

A number of different maximum doses are therefore defined for silver, depending on the form in which it is used. Conversely, this means that as long as these permitted doses are not exceeded silver is harmless and therefore non-toxic.


2C) Is Hydrogen Peroxide Toxic?

Hydrogen peroxide is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms. It decomposes into water and oxygen without leaving any residue, and is a powerful oxidizing agent. This means it can be harmful at higher concentrations or in greater quantities. At low doses or appropriately diluted, it is immediately neutralized by the catalyse and peroxide as enzymes produced by our bodies, which break it down into water and oxygen.

Hydrogen peroxide solutions are used in the Agriculture-care sector for direct soil seed crop disinfection. etc. It is also used as a preservative and disinfectant in a all variety of storage facility areas of all crops.

At concentrations in excess of 1.5% (30,000 ppm QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG) hydrogen peroxide can cause skin irritation. Personal protective equipment is therefore used when applying stronger solutions.


2d) What are the main reasons for the safety of Silver in QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG THE SOIL SEED CROP DISINFECTANT?

Silver is a noble metal and, like gold and copper, one of the heavy metals.

Like everything else, at a high enough dose silver can be poisonous. But to poison yourself with the silver contained in QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG, is impossible in case of professional application

To poison soil seed crop with the amount of silver in QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG, you would need to apply 3 liters of water containing 20 ppm QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG per day to each plant.

By a soil seed crop surface disinfection with QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG, silver remains as a slight residue, and sticks very hard on it. This residue can only be removed by mechanical cleaning. It is impossible that this silver is detached from the surface by itself as dust or vapor and float in the air. Accumulation of the silver strains by repeated spray-and-wipe applications is also not possible.

Silver residues on a square metre surface cold fogged with QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG weigh less than a grain of salt or 1/10 amount of vitamin C in a lemon

3. RESIDUES : Water and Sprinkling Water Safety of Silver with limit values and legal anchoring

3A) It’s a fact that applying to soil seed crop small quantities of silver is not harmful to soil seed crop.

Silver in sprinkling water: 0.1 mg/kg. This is equivalent to about 500 ppm of QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG in water.

Substances used for sprinkling water treatment and soil seed crop disinfection procedures

Silver; silver chloride: 0.1 mg/l, after finishing treatment 0.8 mg/l

Where silver salts are used to maintain the bacteriological quality of sprinkling-water, levels of silver up to 0.1 mg/litre can be tolerated without risk to plants health.

4. SOIL SURFACES :

4A) How long does it take for the Hydrogen Peroxide to decompose into water and oxygen?

Usually, as long as it takes for the surface to dry.

Does the Silver concentration on a surface increase with repeated spray-wipe disinfection?

Repeated wipe disinfection does not result in the accumulation of silver, because the amount of new silver applied is roughly equivalent to the amount of silver gets removed through air or regular water.

Is it possible for the Silver to be released into the air after application and be inhaled for example?

No! The silver binds tightly to the seed crop soil surface and can only be removed by mechanical cleaning with air, water and a cleaning agent. This has been verified in practical trials.

4B) How much Silver is left on the soil surface after spraying for soil disinfection? Spraying disinfection of a 1 m2 area with 2-5 ml QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG using a sprinkling of water and air involves the application of approximately 0.0006 g silver. That’s the weight of 2-3 grains of sand.

5. COPYCAT PRODUCTS :

5A) Are there QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG COPYCAT/REPLICA products on the market?

Yes, there are. Word of the exceptionally successful combination of hydrogen peroxide and silver has of course spread and has spurred the occasional imitator into action. Fortunately, deliberate counterfeits (i.e. products which are fraudulently sold under the QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG name) are rare.

5B) Are there any differences between the QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG products and these copies?

There are a few ORIGINAL QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG copies which, as long as they are fresh, have a very similar concentration of active ingredients to the original. However, we have been told by a number of sources that the shelf life and stability of these products over a period of several months presents problems in many cases.

In addition, many of our imitators do not have legal access to silver, to enable them to properly declare it in accordance with prevailing regulations. As a result, these companies often either avoid mentioning the silver content or deny its biocidal effect, with silver instead being listed as a ‘hydrogen peroxide stabilizer.

6. What is the color, smell and shelf life of QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG?

QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG is colourless and without any smell since all colors and fragrances are bound to be toxic and not environment friendly... Shelf life Under ambient conditions of 2-3 years.

7. How does QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG works?

The secret of the soil seed crop disinfectants is the combined 2-phase effect of the main ingredients hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and silver.

The oxygen split off by the hydrogen peroxide attacks the cell walls of the microorganisms upon direct contact. The chemical reaction of the oxygen with molecules in the cell walls denature and destroys these. This effect is boosted by silver ions that bind to the disulfide bonds of certain proteins, both of the reproduction complex as well as of the metabolic system of the microorganisms, and deactivate or precipitate these.

To put it simply: the hydrogen peroxide affects the membrane of the microorganisms, the silver the inside. This combined “hammer and ambos” effect boosts and/or exponentiates the biocide effect of hydrogen peroxide and silver on a large scale.

While H2O2 breaks down into water and oxygen (H2O2= H2O+O2) afterwards, minute traces of silver remain on the disinfected surface. These traces are invisible but actively and effectively counteract re-germination

8. What is so special about QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG?

It effectively kills mold, germs, bacteria and odour alike.

9. Does QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG have a harsh smell like bleach?

No. It is odour-free and clear.

10. How does QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG compare to other soil seed crop disinfectants?

Superior Efficacy: It is a broad-spectrum soil seed crop disinfectant that kills a wide range of bacteria, viruses and fungi. It performs equal to, if not better than, other soil seed crop disinfectants.

11. Why use peroxide based products versus Chlorine?

There are many advantages of using peroxide versus chlorine for soil seed crop disinfection. In Agriculture-care and soil seed crop disinfection applications, the product reaches every soil surface in a agriculture farmland whether visible or not and thus minimizes the impact of human labour inconsistencies. These products are effective, odour-free, economical, do not condense or corrode, have a long shelf life and are safe to use around sensitive equipment. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into oxygen and water.

Chlorine bleach, while a powerful soil seed crop disinfectant, produces harmful and toxic to soil seed crop. Other issues with chlorinated products include strong odour.

12. What makes QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG different from other hydrogen peroxides biocides?

QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG is a trademark ready-to-use formula that blends hydrogen peroxide and silver. Hydrogen peroxide is the oxidizing agent and the silver adds a broad-spectrum anti-microbial element to this unique formula. A complex blending process stabilizes the H202 while amplifying the anti-microbial action ten-fold delivering a formula that behaves completely different than its original ingredients. The result is a radical fluid architecture, a multifaceted killing mechanism against pathogens, with an extended storage life of greater than 1-year.

13. Does QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG provide residual disinfecting?

Yes. QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG leaves behind an undetectable layer of silver ions on surfaces. This helps prevent future contamination of the soil seed crop and surface.

14. What does Touch-less soil seed crop Disinfecting mean?

Wiping spreads germs from seed crop soil surface to surface, it requires no rinsing and no wiping. Simply spray and walk away.

Who invented QUSIL TM XXXTRA STRONG and its combination of Hydrogen Peroxide and Silver, and How?

In 1999, an innovative young Scientist D. Mukherjee, who would go on to be the CEO of Quachem, noticed that there were very few organized water disinfection methods and products on the market and that all of the available products had serious drawbacks.

This means it can be harmful at higher concentrations or in greater quantities. At low doses or appropriately diluted, it is immediately neutralized by the catalyse and peroxide as enzymes produced by our bodies, which break it down into water and oxygen.

Hydrogen peroxide solutions are used in the health-care sector for direct disinfection on or in people, e.g. disinfecting the mouth or throat, bladder irrigation, dental cervix treatments, ear irrigation, etc. It is also used as a preservative and disinfectant in a variety of face creams.

At concentrations in excess of 1.5% (30,000 ppm QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG) hydrogen peroxide can cause skin irritation. Personal protective equipment is therefore used when applying stronger solutions.


2d) What are the main reasons for the safety of Silver in QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG THE DISINFECTANT?

Silver is a noble metal and, like gold and copper, one of the heavy metals.

Like everything else, at a high enough dose silver can be poisonous. But to poison yourself with the silver contained in QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG, is impossible in case of professional application

To poison yourself with the amount of silver in QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG, you would need to drink 3 liters of water containing 20 ppm QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG per day for about 910 years.

For someone weighing 70 kg, the EPA considers an intake of 0.35 mg of silver per day to be safe. That corresponds to 5 liters of water containing 20 ppm QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG or 3.5 liters containing 30 ppm QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG.

A litre of water containing 20 ppm QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG contains less silver than a litre of American milk. Consequently, no environment agency has ever banned the discharge of coolant water treated with QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG into surface water.

By a surface disinfection with QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG, silver remains as a slight residue, and sticks very hard on it. This residue can only be removed by mechanical cleaning. It is impossible that this silver is detached from the surface by itself as dust or vapor and float in the air. Accumulation of the silver strains by repeated spray-and-wipe applications is also not possible.

Silver residues on a square metre surface cold fogged with QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG weigh less than a grain of salt or 1/10 amount of vitamin C in a lemon.

3. RESIDUES : Water and Drinking Water Safety of Silver with limit values and legal anchoring

3A) It’s a fact that consuming small quantities of silver is not harmful to humans, but what counts as ‘small quantities’?

Although there isn’t a definitive rule on this, a comparison of opinions from a range of organizations results in a figure of 0.1 mg in drinking water. The WHO states that: “Higher levels of silver, up to 0.1 mg/litre (this concentration gives a total dose over 70 years of half the human NOAEL of 10 g), could be tolerated in such cases without risk to health.”

Different law sources around the world:

Switzerland: TBDV, Verordnung des EDI über Trinkwasser sowie Wasser in öffentlich zugänglichen Bädern und Duschanlagen Version 2017

Silver in drinking water: 0.1 mg/kg. This is equivalent to about 500 ppm of QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG in water.

Germany: Verordnung über die Qualität von Wasser für den menschlichen Gebrauch, TrinkwV 2001 (Ordinance on the quality of water for human consumption)

Substances used for water treatment and disinfection procedures

Silver; silver chloride: 0.1 mg/l, after finishing treatment 0.8 mg/l


USA: EPA – National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations (NSDWRs)

List of National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations

Silver: 0.1 mg/l


WHO, Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality 2003 (WHO/SDE/WSH/03.04/14)

Where silver salts are used to maintain the bacteriological quality of drinking-water, levels of silver up to 0.1 mg/litre can be tolerated without risk to health.

3B) Is it possible to give yourself silver poisoning using the regulation dose of QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG in drinking water?

Silver poisoning requires a cumulative dose of at least 1000 mg of silver.

One litre of water with an average content of 20 ppm of QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG contains 0.01 mg of silver. For comparison: one litre of American milk contains between 0.025 and 0.054 mg (Murthy and Rhea, 1968).

1000 mg of silver corresponds to 100,000 litres of QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG treated water.

So if you drank 3 liters of water a day, it would take you 33,333 days to drink this amount of silver. At 365 days a year, that would take 91.3 years. And that’s assuming that the silver is 100% water-soluble and completely absorbed by the body.

However, scientific articles state that 90% of the silver in food exits the body via the gut (Furchner et al., 1968). You would therefore have to drink 3 liters of water disinfected with QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG every day for 913 years before experiencing any toxic effects

4. SURFACES :

4A) How long does it take for the Hydrogen Peroxide to decompose into water and oxygen?

Usually, as long as it takes for the surface to dry.

Does the Silver concentration on a surface increase with repeated spray-wipe disinfection?

Repeated wipe disinfection does not result in the accumulation of silver, because the amount of new silver applied is roughly equivalent to the amount of silver removed through rubbing/adhesion to the cloth.

Is it possible for the Silver to be released into the air after application and be inhaled for example?


No! The silver binds tightly to the surface and can only be removed by mechanical cleaning with water and a cleaning agent. This has been verified in practical trials (dry rubbing with laboratory wipes).

4B) How much Silver is left on the surface after spray-wipe disinfection?

Spray-wipe disinfection of a 1 m2 area with 2-5 ml QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG using a damp cloth or mop involves the application of approximately 0.0006 g silver. That’s the weight of 2-3 grains of sand.

4C) What happens to the active substances Hydrogen Peroxide and Silver after QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG has been pumped into air as an Aerosol? Firmly bound to each other, the two substances float through the air as drops until they land on a surface. There the hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen, while the silver remains on the surface. It’s a bit like the limescale in the water in an ultrasonic humidifier: after a few days of use, this limescale, deposited as a white precipitate, needs to be wiped off the floor around the humidifier.


4D) Could it be, following Aerosol disinfection, The Hydrogen Peroxide decomposes and that the Silver stays in the air in the form of a fine powder?

No – this is nonsense. Because the silver is tightly bound to the hydrogen peroxide, it is deposited on the surface with the hydrogen peroxide (or with the water formed when it decomposes), and it adheres relatively firmly to this surface. (During practical testing, it was almost impossible to remove any more silver from smooth test surfaces using dry wiping with laboratory wipes.)


4E) Can the Silver deposited after QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG Aerosol disinfection damage electronic equipment?

No. Even after hundreds of disinfection cycles, the amount of silver deposited would be too small to cause this type of damage.

4F) How much Silver remains on surfaces after Aerosol disinfection?

99.995% of cold fogged QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG decomposes into water and oxygen within a useful period of time. An amount of silver residue that equates less
than the weight of a grain of sand remains on a 1 m2 surface in a room in which QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG has been cold fogged at an effective concentration – which approximately corresponds to just a tenth of the amount of vitamin C in a lemon.

5. COPYCAT PRODUCTS :

5A) Are there any QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG COPYCAT/REPLICA products on the market?

Yes, there are. Word of the exceptionally successful combination of hydrogen peroxide and silver has of course spread and has spurred the occasional imitator into action.Fortunately, deliberate counterfeits (i.e. products which are fraudulently sold under the QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG name) are rare.

5B) Are there any differences between the ORIGINAL QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG
products and these copies?

There are a few ORIGINAL QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG copies which, as long as they are fresh, have a very similar concentration of active ingredients to the original. However, we have been told by a number of sources that the shelf life and stability of these products over a period of several months presents problems in many cases.

In addition, many of our imitators do not have legal access to silver, to enable them to properly declare it in accordance with prevailing regulations. As a result, these companies often either avoid mentioning the silver content or deny its biocidal effect, with silver instead being listed as a ‘hydrogen peroxide stabilizer.

6. AEROSOL DISINFECTION :

6A) Can the Aerosol disinfection replace the classic cleaning / spray wipe disinfection?

No, that will not work. Although Aerosol disinfection offers a complete and thus better coverage of all surfaces than wipe disinfection, it has a reduced penetration due to the relatively low quantities of disinfectants.

Aerosol technology is an additional level of safety / measure to mitigate microbiological risks.

6B) What means AFNOR NFT 72-281 Test?

AFNOR NFT 72-281 designates a French test standard that has become established as the standard method for verifying the effectiveness of airborne surface disinfection. Around 70% of the aerosol systems offered do not meet AFNOR NFT 72-281 requirements.

Reason: This test standard is extremely strict and difficult to fulfill - germs, which are protected by a film of dried milk fixed on steel platelets, must be killed by an indirect spraying method in a defined time.

Critics complain that while this is a quality feature for systems that meet these conditions, the test conditions do not adequately reflect the reality of a thoroughly pre-cleaned room.

The QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG Superior equipped with and QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG has verified as per AFNOR NFT72-281 test norms in house (This also applies to the identical Q-Jet Advanced).

Why is even a system with passed AFNOR-NFT 72-281 exam not a full replacement for a classic spray-wipe disinfection?

In order to comply with the AFNOR-NFT 72-281, a relatively large amount of disinfectant with high hydrogen peroxide must be introduced into the room.

Although this ensures proper disinfection, even if the surfaces are not perfectly cleaned, but the decomposition of the peroxide and thus the earliest possible reuse of the room will take longer.

In the end, it is always a balance of the various pros and cons, how cleaning, wipe disinfection and aerosol disinfection are combined to a method that best suits the customer's needs.

7. What is the color, smell and shelf life of QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG?

QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG is colourless and without any smell since all colors and fragrances are bound to be toxic and not environment friendly... Shelf life Under ambient conditions of 2-3 years.

8. How does QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG works?

The secret of the disinfectants is the combined 2-phase effect of the main ingredients hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and silver.

The oxygen split off by the hydrogen peroxide attacks the cell walls of the microorganisms upon direct contact. The chemical reaction of the oxygen with molecules in the cell walls denature and destroys these. This effect is boosted by silver ions that bind to the disulfide bonds of certain proteins, both of the reproduction complex as well as of the metabolic system of the microorganisms,and deactivate or precipitate these.

To put it simply: the hydrogen peroxide affects the membrane of the microorganisms, the silver the inside. This combined “hammer and ambos” effect boosts and/or exponentiates the biocide effect of hydrogen peroxide and silver on a large scale.

While H2O2 breaks down into water and oxygen (H2O2= H2O+O2) afterwards,minute traces of silver remain on the disinfected surface. These traces are invisible but actively and effectively counteract re-germination

9. What is so special about QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG?

It effectively kills mold, germs, bacteria and odour alike.

10. Does QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG have a harsh smell like bleach?

No. It is odour-free and clear.

11. How does QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG compare to other disinfectants?

Superior Efficacy: It is a broad-spectrum disinfectant that kills a wide range of bacteria, viruses and fungi. It performs equal to, if not better than, other disinfectants.

12. Why use peroxide based products versus Chlorine?

There are many advantages of using peroxide versus chlorine for disinfection. In health-care and surface disinfection applications. By fogging versus spray and wiping, the product reaches every surface in a room whether visible or not and thus minimizes the impact of human labour inconsistencies. These products are effective, odour-free, economical, do not condense or corrode, have a long shelflife and are safe to use around sensitive equipment. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into oxygen and water.

Chlorine bleach, while a powerful disinfectant, produces harmful and toxic disinfection by-products. Other issues with chlorinated products include strong odour and corrosion, making them unsuitable for fogging application.

When used in water treatment applications such as drinking water, consumers notice an unpleasant taste and odour. In industrial water treatment applications, the short shelf life and limited efficacy against bio-film create challenges that can be solved with peroxide-based QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG products.

13. What makes QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG different from other hydrogen peroxides biocides?

QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG is a trademark ready-to-use formula that blends hydrogen peroxide and silver. Hydrogen peroxide is the oxidizing agent and the silver adds a broad-spectrum anti-microbial element to this unique formula. A complex blending process stabilizes the H202 while amplifying the anti-microbial action ten-fold delivering a formula that behaves completely different than its original ingredients. The result is a radical fluid architecture, a multifaceted killing mechanism against pathogens, with an extended storage life of greater than 1-year.

14. Why is using QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG better than wiping?

QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG Disinfectant Spray for surfaces: Wiping spreads germs from surface to surface increasing the chances of cross contamination. QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG requires no rinsing and no wiping. Simply spray and walk away. Therefore, QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG is the preferred disinfectant for pre-cleaned surfaces and supplemental room disinfection.

15. Does QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG provide residual disinfecting?

Yes. QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG leaves behind an undetectable layer of silver ions on surfaces. This helps prevent future contamination of the surface.

16. On what surfaces can QUASIL TM XXXTRA STRONG be used?
  • Toilets, countertop, sinks
  • Door handles
  • Toys
  • Sports equipment
  • Medical equipment
  • Treadmills
  • Saunas
  • House, Office, Co-op Societies, Commercial and Industrial Premises,
  • Furniture
  • Magazines and much more
17. What does Touch-less Disinfecting mean?

Wiping spreads germs from surface to surface, it requires no rinsing and no wiping. Simply spray and walk away.

4. What is the difference between Aditya Biotech Solutions Inc’s Organic manures and toxic chemicals based fertilizer?

The major differences between toxic chemicals based hazardous fertilizer and Our Organic manures are:

  1. A chemical based fertilizer is defined as any inorganic material of wholly or partially synthetic origin that is added to soil to sustain plant growth.
  2. Toxic chemicals based hazardous fertilizers are artificially prepared with several hazardous chemicals which have high acid content; they have the ability to change soil fertility.
  3. Organic manures are made out of Natural Organic substances.
  4. Organic manures has a mixture of all non-toxic nutrients because they contain organic elements which occur naturally.
  5. Organic manures made out of Humus which are non-toxic and natural, even they add natural nutrient to soil which increases soil organic matter content.
  6. Organic manure improves water holding capacity of the soil & one can prepare organic manure themselves or can also purchase.
5. What are the consequences of fertilizing with toxic chemical based fertilizer?

The consequences of fertilizing with toxic chemical based fertilizer shows different symptoms in plants & crops which are mentioned below:

  1. Yellowing and Wilting of leaves.
  2. Margins and tips of leaf become brown in color.
  3. Rotting roots of a tree.
  4. Abscission( Leaf drop).
  5. Regular use of toxic chemical based fertilizer retards the plant growth.
  6. Chemical based fertilizer make the surface of soil hard &even death of seedlings.
  7. Excess use of chemical based fertilizer decreases soil fertility.
  8. Use of chemical based fertilizer releases greenhouse gases thereby causing hazards to human health and environment as well.
  9. After a long period of application it decreases soil organic matter , pH and soil gets barren.
  10. Both Soil texture & quality gets negatively impacted.
6. Why toxic chemical based fertilizers are bad for plants osmosis?

Most of the toxic chemical based fertilizers contain salt and when salt are applied to soil, they don’t dissolve in water and plants only use the water for survival process because the ability of the plant to pass water in and out of the roots should be lower than that of the water holding capacity of the soil. To adjust the salinity, plants must absorb and accumulate salts inside the plant, so that the quantity of salt present inside the plant is higher and the water intake is normal again. This process slows down the growth of plants. Salts also block the enzyme systems and biochemical pathways of the plant. Salts injure the roots of the plant and interfere with the water intake process causing wilt. So, toxic chemical based fertilizers cause stress in the plants and weakens them, which ultimately makes the plants susceptible to diseases and insect attacks. Much severe problem due to over use of toxic chemical based fertilizers is Iron Chlorosis.

7. What is chemical based fertilizer burn and how do plants recover from fertilizer burn?

The burning of leaves, i.e. the leaves turn brown on the edges it is a condition in plants when they are fertilized by toxic chemical based fertilizer. Most of the chemical based fertilizers generally contain salts which draws water or moisture from the plants and cause damage. If such toxic chemical based fertilizers are applied on regular bases, the symptoms of burning occurs immediately. If the toxic chemical based fertilizer is a slow release type, then it takes a couple of weeks to show symptoms of the burn. It is obvious that the burn could be prevented by certain methods like:

  1. Use of Organic manures based bio-organic fertilizers.
  2. Toxic chemical based fertilizer should not be preferred.
  3. Fertilizing plants with compost reduces the risk of burn.
  4. Fertilizer burn can be remedied by soaking the soil with water to flush out excess salts & then disinfect by QUASIL AGRO TM XXXTRA STRONG.
  5. It can be prevented by applying only dilute or controlled release organic manure such as Bio Soil.
8. How much do farmers spend on organic manures viz a viz to toxic chemical based fertilizer?

For more clarification let's take this example: If one farmer is spending for toxic based chemical based fertilizers Rs.20,000/- per acre, on the other hand for our bio organic manures the farmer have to spend only Rs.10,000/- per acre. Chemical based fertilizers are very harmful for the plants as well as for human being and environment too, but our organic manures are non-toxic, enviro-friendly, provide nutrients to the plants and maintain ecological balance.

9. What are the harmful effects of toxic chemical based fertilizers?

Toxic chemical based fertilizers made out of the substances that have unwanted additional minerals which is harmful for the soil and damages the fertility of the soil by hardening it and also pollute the air, water and surrounding, by releasing of greenhouse gases. A toxic chemical based fertilizer makes the soil barren as it produces too much alkalinity. Other negative effects of chemical based fertilizers are root burn, plant dehydration, soil acidification and groundwater contamination. Artificial fertilizers are also called Synthetic fertilizer or Inorganic fertilizers and are man-made combinations of toxic chemicals and compounds to address the requirement of plants.

Some disadvantages of toxic chemical based fertilizers when used regularly/frequently are:

  1. It increases nitrate levels in soil and water which leads to eutrophication.
  2. Prolonged use of chemical based fertilizers can imbalance the pH level of the soil.
  3. It can also disturb the conducting and water holding capacity of soil.
