Abstract: Inert silica dioxide solution that produces an antimicrobial effect by forming a crystalline-like barrier that remains on the treated surface and acts as a pesticide device that inhibits bacteria and viruses from attaching. When applied to a solid surface and allowed to dry, a 4-6 nm crystalline-like layer of SiO2 bonds covalently to the base substrate. Direct binding occurs via the action of covalent bonding in which the silicon oxide layers with very high bond energy form surface and subsurface absorption layers followed by terminating desired bonding groups on out-most bonding surfaces and which can be polymerized into covalent bonds. These bonds are essentially permanent and can cover a large area as they disperse across the face of the targeted surface. The protective SiO2 crystalline-like layer has an increased resistance to moisture and the formed protective surface layer does not wash off once covalently bonded to a surface.
